Secure your n8n workflows

n8n powers faster automation — but without guardrails, AI workflows can create cascading SaaS risks. 

Obsidian lets you scale safely while keeping your data and apps protected.

How teams use n8n:

Automation isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each team uses n8n differently.

With Obsidian, every action is visible, controlled and secure.

IT can

Automate routine support tasks

Security can

Detect and respond to threats faster

DevOps can

Deploy and monitor applications automatically

HR can

Onboard new employees quickly

Sales can

Update CRM records without manual work

Marketing can

Send personalized campaigns at scale

With great automation comes greater responsibility

As powerful as n8n is, automation without guardrails can open the door to diverse and significant risks:

Over-permissioned agents

n8n agents often request broad access (like “read/write all data”) when only narrow permissions are needed, creating unnecessary exposure.

Unmonitored
integrations

A single node connecting to core SaaS like Salesforce or Google Drive can become a hidden entry point.

Data
leakage

Automated flows can accidentally sync sensitive customer or employee data across systems.


Shadow
automation

Workflows built outside security’s view make it impossible to enforce policies and monitor agents.


Supply
chain risks

Community nodes or third-party plugins may contain vulnerabilities or malicious code that slip into production workflows.
