A quick comparison of Zscaler’s integrated CASB/SSPM and Obsidian’s native SaaS threat prevention.
Zscaler combines CASB, SWG, and SaaS Security Posture Management to control data movement and remediate misconfigurations across cloud services.
Obsidian combines SaaS-native intelligence with real-time browser controls, giving CISOs a full-spectrum defense. Best suited for companies that need rapid deployment and deep protection against identity-driven and AI-era threats.
Zscaler’s SaaS security is usually part of its larger SSE platform and may require multiple modules (CASB, DLP, ZTNA) for comprehensive SaaS protection. Obsidian delivers comparable posture management and real-time threat defense in a single lightweight platform, often at lower overall cost.
Zscaler’s integrated CASB/SSPM excels in data protection across large networks, but often requires multiple modules and complex deployment. Obsidian achieves SaaS posture, OAuth control, and browser-based defenses with less overhead.
