Legacy security solutions weren't built for modern AI risk management

AI agents are a new class of risk.They hold credentials, move data at machine speed, and act without human approval; but most enterprise risk management programs were never designed to govern these non-human actors.

16x
more data moved by AI agents than by human users
40%
of agents deployed are of critical, high or medium risk
90%
of agent access granted is unnecessary and unused

Manage agentic AI risk across the full lifecycle

Effective AI agent risk management requires runtime truth: a real, evidence-based view of what every agent actually did, not what its configuration said it could do. Obsidian connects directly to AI platforms to inventory every agent, score its risk, and govern its access.

See the product

Find every agent

Inventory every AI agent across your environment. Sanctioned, shadow, and orphaned;  and assess each one’s risk posture.

Stop privilege creep

Detect over-permissioned agents, toxic combinations, and privilege escalation paths before they trigger an incident.

Minimize excessive access

Right-size agent access to least privilege, contain blast radius, and keep every action policy-aligned.

Enable innovation

Say yes to AI adoption with audit-ready evidence of what every agent did, where, and on whose behalf.

AI risk management use cases: see, score, and govern every agent

AI agent discovery and inventory

You cannot manage risk on agents you cannot see. Obsidian connects directly to AI platforms to surface every agent in a single, unified view — including who built it, what it can access, what it has done, and the tools and MCP servers it calls. Inventory is the foundation of AI risk management.

Explore agent visibility

Reduce excessive agent access

Most agents inherit far more access than they need. Obsidian scores risk for each agent based on its actual privileges, connections, and runtime behavior; surfacing toxic combinations, orphaned agents, and maker-mode escalation paths that legacy IAM tools cannot see.

Govern agent executions with runtime guardrails

Enforce policy with runtime guardrails that block privilege escalation, token abuse, and action chaining before damage is done;  so every agent action safe, secured, and approved.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI risk management?

AI risk management is the practice of identifying, assessing, and controlling the security, privacy, and operational risks that AI systems introduce to an organization. For autonomous AI agents specifically, that means inventorying every agent, scoring its access and behavior, and governing what it can do across the platforms it touches.

Why are AI agents considered high risk?

AI agents move data at machine speed; up to 16× more than human users — and are typically granted 10× more access than their workflows actually need. If compromised or misused, an agent can exfiltrate sensitive data or chain actions across connected systems in seconds.

Aren’t AI agents just another SaaS integration?

No. Traditional SaaS integrations usually have narrow, well-defined scopes. AI agents are different: they chain tasks across multiple apps, inherit broad OAuth privileges, and act on behalf of users without human approval. That autonomy makes them far more dangerous if left unchecked. The longer you wait, the faster the risks multiply.

How do AI agents create SaaS supply chain risks?

SaaS applications are deeply interconnected, and AI agents amplify this by chaining actions across multiple platforms with little oversight. If one agent is compromised, attackers can pivot into other SaaS systems like Salesforce, Google Workspace, Slack, or Azure in minutes. AI agents expand the attack surface, creating an entirely new class of SaaS supply chain security risks—where exposure in one application can rapidly cascade across the enterprise.

What makes agentic AI agents different from traditional SaaS integrations?

SaaS-to-SaaS connectors pass data based on predefined rules. AI agents go further: they make decisions, execute actions across multiple apps, and often request excessive OAuth scopes. Their autonomy gives them far greater reach, making them a powerful accelerant for SaaS supply chain risks if abused.

How quickly do AI agents proliferate in enterprises?

Very quickly. Thousands of agents can appear in a matter of days. Some are auto-provisioned in seconds. Most launch without IT or security oversight. Left unchecked, these “shadow agents” spread silently, multiplying SaaS connections before anyone knows they exist. Obsidian provides visibility and control directly inside SaaS before that happens.

Can’t traditional SaaS security tools handle this?

No. Legacy tools were designed for human-driven SaaS activity, not AI agents. They can’t see agent actions, connect them to OAuth privileges, or enforce least privilege in real time. Agents operate faster, with broader access, and create new supply chain risks that legacy tools can’t detect.

How does Obsidian secure AI agents?

Obsidian connects directly to AI platforms to inventory every agent, score its access and behavior, and surface privilege escalation paths and toxic combinations. Security teams get one control plane across Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce Agentforce, Google Vertex, Bedrock, and other major platforms — without connectors or new agents to deploy. Runtime guardrails extend that visibility into deterministic enforcement.

Will securing AI agents slow down my employees?

No. Obsidian protects autonomous workflows directly inside SaaS. Guardrails run in real time, so teams can continue working and innovating safely.
