Our mission is to make the impact of SaaS breaches a thing of the past

Obsidian solves the challenges of SaaS security so you can secure business-critical data with ease and confidence.

Our Story

Eliminating SaaS Security Blindspots Since 2017

Obsidian Security was founded in 2017 to solve the unaddressed blindspot of SaaS Security. SaaS applications provide the tools employees need to succeed, holding the most business-critical information as a result. If those tools become unavailable or that data is jeopardized, there is a detrimental impact on the organization.

Since our inception, we’ve been laser-focused on making the impact of SaaS breaches a thing of the past for our customers. While the challenges related to that mission have continued to evolve, we have proudly stayed one step ahead and continue to offer the industry’s most comprehensive and powerful SaaS defense solution.

What our partners are saying
Snowflake has hundreds of SaaS applications — to gain visibility into those SaaS applications could take months. With Obsidian we were able to do that in days, if not hours.

Mario Duarte, Vice President of Security Snowflake

Obsidian was the obvious choice for us because of the depth in context and insights they provide across all critical areas of our SaaS ecosystem.

Hammad Yacoob, SaaS Security Lead at Pure Storage

Seeing threats across SaaS solutions in a single pane of view is critical to us. Obsidian promises always-on monitoring and protection, and meets the compliance standards that our members need to operate seamlessly.
