Obsidian Security Named a Databricks Silver Partner — One of Only Two Security Vendors at Silver or Above

Why This Matters

The Databricks Data + AI Platform provides an open, governed foundation for enterprise data and AI, including the AI applications and agents organizations are building and deploying at scale. Obsidian is the third-party app, identity, and AI-agent security layer for it. Reaching Silver isn't a badge, its confirmation, backed by Databricks' own evaluation, that the integration works at production scale.

Databricks scored partners across five pillars: Impact, Technical Excellence, Strategic Alignment, Readiness, and GTM & Co-Sell. Obsidian is also one of the few partners validated across all three Databricks integration paths — Built-On, Connected, and Data, where most partners validate on just one. And it's a rare mix: Obsidian's logo now sits in Databricks' own announcement alongside Salesforce, NVIDIA, Moody's, and S&P Global.

The Problem This Solves

Security and data teams have historically worked in silos, and third-party apps and AI agents have become the SOC's blind spot. Obsidian closes that gap by streaming identity, OAuth, and AI-agent telemetry directly into a customer's Lakehouse and Lakewatch via OpenSharing — no ETL pipelines, no coverage gaps.

It also compresses vendor vetting. Databricks has already done the diligence: Silver-tier status means Obsidian meets its bar for architecture, security, and compliance across all three integration paths, so joint customers spend less time vetting and more time building.

And it brings data and security teams into a single, governed motion — Databricks and Obsidian securing identity, data, and AI agents together, with aligned field teams behind it.Together, this helps enterprises bring security telemetry alongside governed data and AI so they can secure agentic AI without creating another data silo. 

What Customers Can Do Now

• Keep security evidence where the data lives. Posture, identity, and AI-agent findings are accessible in a customer's own lakehouse via zero-copy sharing, ready for threat hunting, continuous compliance (DORA, NIS2, SOX), and custom detections, right next to business data.
• See what no single log source can show. Lakewatch enriches detections with Obsidian context — OAuth relationship graphs, non-human identity classification, and cross-customer threat intelligence.
• Secure Databricks itself. Privilege sprawl, risky OAuth grants, config drift, and identity threats are now covered the same way Obsidian already covers Salesforce, Workday, Okta, and Microsoft 365.
• Govern AI agents, not just users. Teams can see what an agent touched, what it could reach, whether it should have and enforce policy when it shouldn't.
• Move faster with joint innovation. Silver-tier status puts Obsidian inside Databricks product launches, so joint customers get new integrations sooner.

Proof It's Working

Obsidian's Databricks partnership goes back further than this announcement:

• Founding member of the Databricks Lakewatch Open Security Lakehouse Ecosystem (March 2026), alongside Okta, Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, and Wiz.
• Launch partner for Databricks' Unity AI Gateway at the Data + AI Summit (June 2026).
• Featured speaker at the DAIS 2026 Cyber Security Forum, presenting "How Obsidian Uses Databricks at Scale."
• Live today on the Databricks Marketplace via OpenSharing, with joint customers spanning financial services, manufacturing, and technology.

At scale, Obsidian secures 200+ SaaS connectors, processes 29B+ events per month, protects 25M+ users, and has run 150+ SaaS incident response engagements and it's an active contributor to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

What Sets Obsidian Apart

What makes Obsidian's position unique:

• The only SaaS/third party-app, identity, and AI-agent security vendor at Silver or above.
• Validated across all three Databricks paths, both a consumer of Databricks and a first-class data source into it.
• OpenSharing-native, with no requirement for customers to move data into a closed platform.
• Trusted internally: Databricks' own security team runs Obsidian, making the company both partner and customer.

In Their Words

Our partner tiers give customers a trusted signal that a partner has demonstrated technical excellence and a track record of joint customer success. As a Silver-tier partner, Obsidian has met a rigorous bar for architecture, security and compliance, helping customers spend less time vetting and move faster with confidence as they build on Databricks."

‍

Being one of only two security partners at Silver and the only one covering SaaS, identity, and AI agents reflects a simple belief we've built the company around: security data belongs next to business data, in the customer's own governed lakehouse, not locked away in a separate silo. This is what 'better together' actually looks like in practice."
