This white powder is, most likely, farina. Farina is a natural and healthy way succulents protect themselves from the sun. They produce a layer of powdery wax across the surface of the leaves which scatters excess light away from the plant.
However, if you see brown scabs begin to form on the surface of the leaf, you may be dealing with powdery mildew, which is a fungal disease. A few mistings of isopropyl alcohol or an over the counter fungicide will take care of the issue.
