Frequently Asked Questions

What is SaaS pre-exfiltration threat detection and why is it important?

SaaS pre-exfiltration threat detection focuses on identifying and stopping cyberattacks before sensitive data is stolen from SaaS applications. With SaaS breaches rising sharply and attackers acting within minutes, early detection is critical to prevent costly data loss and minimize business impact.

How fast can Obsidian detect SaaS security threats?

Obsidian detects SaaS security threats within minutes using ML-based anomaly detection and out-of-the-box rules mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This rapid detection is essential, as the average breakout time for attackers is just 62 minutes.

Which attack vectors does Obsidian help prevent before data exfiltration?

Obsidian is designed to stop attack vectors such as Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR), SIM swapping, and helpdesk social engineering before attackers can access and exfiltrate data. This proactive protection helps reduce the risk of high-cost breaches.

How does Obsidian leverage machine learning for threat detection?

Obsidian utilizes machine learning algorithms to baseline user behavior and identify anomalies that may indicate a threat. These ML-based detections are further enhanced by insights from hundreds of incident response engagements to provide highly accurate threat alerts.

It also integrates with SIEM and SOAR platforms to automate workflows, and offers searchable SaaS logs for efficient investigation and hunting.

What are the financial impacts of SaaS data breaches?

SaaS data breaches are significantly more expensive than traditional breaches, costing organizations an average of $4.75 million. Rapid threat detection and response are essential to minimizing these costs and protecting critical business data.

How can Obsidian help prevent future SaaS threats?

Obsidian continuously improves threat detection by leveraging insights from hundreds of incident response engagements and deployments. It provides ongoing monitoring that highlights high-risk users and applications, helping you proactively defend against new and evolving threats.
