Obsidian Security Expands its Reach to Google Cloud Marketplace

9 April 2024 – Obsidian Security expands its service accessibility by launching its SaaS Security offering on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), available via the Google Cloud Marketplace. This strategic move enables enterprises to enhance their security posture with seamless access to Obsidian’s comprehensive SaaS security products, utilizing their GCP committed spend.

The Google Cloud Marketplace is pivotal, reshaping how businesses access and deploy cloud solutions. As businesses migrate operations to the cloud, the need for a centralized, secure, and versatile platform becomes critical. Google Cloud Marketplace meets this demand, offering applications and services that simplify cloud computing for all sizes of organizations.

Based on hundreds of Incident Response (IR) engagements, Obsidian’s threat research team observed Google Workspace among the top three applications targeted by attackers in 2023. At the core of collaboration between Obsidian Security and Google Cloud lies a mutual commitment to customer security. As organizations face increased breaches through SaaS Security vulnerabilities, malicious actors exploit any entry point available.

SaaS Security now ranks high for CISOs. The GCP partnership ensures customers safeguard their SaaS applications seamlessly. Obsidian secures Google Workspace environments, configures appropriate posture, and prevents identity-based threats. With many applications linked to Google Workspace, there are integration risks for data compliance and supply chain. Obsidian identifies and protects against 3rd and 4th-party integration risks.

Obsidian Security’s integration into the Google Cloud Ecosystem has profound cybersecurity implications. This collaboration streamlines acquiring and deploying top-tier security solutions. It embodies both entities’ shared vision for a secure digital future. Organizations leveraging this partnership navigate modern cybersecurity challenges, ensuring asset and data protection in an evolving digital age.
