Reco's bet is connector breadth: the "SaaS App Factory" expands the connector list quickly, with dashboards and visualization layered on top. Coverage volume, with depth varying by app.
Obsidian secures SaaS and AI as one system. It combines SSPM, SaaS Supply Chain Resilience, AI Security Posture Management, and Identity Threat Detection and Response in a single platform, with the visibility, runtime protection, and continuous governance to act across every application, agent, and integration. The bet is enterprise-grade depth: production-safe connectors, identity-linked evidence behind every finding, and detection models tuned on real incident response work.
Reco maps the surface. Obsidian shows the activity underneath.
Why it matters
Visibility without depth fills your queue with findings you can't validate, integrations you can't investigate, and agents you can't audit at runtime. Obsidian's behavioral detections are tuned on 500+ real SaaS incident response engagements, so the signal you're acting on was earned in production. The breach surface lives where the activity is, not where the inventory ends.
Speed of coverage and depth of coverage aren't the same thing. Reco's low-code model puts a name onto the connector list quickly, but the analytics behind each name vary widely. Obsidian's connectors are enterprise-grade across the apps that matter most: Salesforce, Workday, M365, the IdPs, the AI platforms. Fast coverage on apps you can't investigate doesn't shorten the work. It just moves it downstream.
Mapping which integrations exist is the starting point. Obsidian traces what each integration actually accessed, who triggered it, and where the impact landed. In one global insurer environment running both platforms, Reco showed a malicious Salesforce Data Loader integration was connected. Obsidian identified it as compromised and defined the blast radius. As one Obsidian customer running a Reco side-by-side put it: "at least you guys have the data, you can mature it." The underlying activity model is the moat.
Reco's repositioning is around agent inventory, ownership, and access mapping across 225+ apps. That's the surface. The bedrock is what those agents are actually doing inside the connected SaaS apps. Agents authenticate through OAuth tokens and service accounts that reach into Salesforce, Workday, M365, and the rest. The toxic combination (what each agent's credentials reach inside those apps, who can invoke it, what data moved when it ran) forms in the SaaS layer, not the agent layer. Without native SaaS activity, an AI agent platform inventories agents but doesn't see what they're doing. Full argument in The Architecture Gap No AI Agent Security Tool Is Built to Close.
