Get visibility, govern data movement, and reduce your 3rd-party SaaS integration risk by 80%.

The Challenge
15% Growth in 3rd-Party Apps Every 60 Days
CASB, DLP, and SASE Are Blind to App-to-App Data Movement
80% of Countries Have Data Protection Laws
The Obsidian Approach
Uncover Your SaaS Integrations

- Get a normalized view of all active and inactive SaaS integrations
- Discover apps with high-risk integrations
- Know which apps have access to sensitive data

Govern Data Moving Across Apps

- Investigate app-to-app movement through dataflow visualization
- Gain activity and access context for each integration
- Manage data movement and access to meet data residency requirements

Block Unsecured Data Access

- Take corrective actions on apps and integrations that don’t meet your security requirements
- Remove inactive integrations to minimize data exposure
- Disable risky integrations based on the criticality or sensitivity of the data

Other SaaS data governance Use Cases
What customers are saying
Prior to Obsidian, we had no way to validate what integrations we had, how they were being used, what permissions they were asking for, or who was using them. Without Obsidian we would have had an unsustainable amount of manual work and a huge lack of visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is app-to-app data movement in SaaS environments?

App-to-app data movement refers to the transfer of data between integrated SaaS applications, often via APIs or third-party connectors. Unlike traditional user-to-app data flows, these movements can happen undetected by legacy security solutions like CASB, DLP, or SASE, increasing the risk of unauthorized data exposure.

Why are traditional security tools unable to monitor app-to-app data movement?

Legacy tools such as CASB, DLP, and SASE are designed to monitor user activities or network traffic, but they lack visibility into API-level app integrations. This makes them "blind" to the hidden channels where SaaS applications pass data directly to each other, often bypassing established security controls.

How does Obsidian help uncover SaaS integrations?

Obsidian provides a normalized and comprehensive view of all your active and inactive SaaS integrations. It helps organizations identify which applications have access to sensitive data and highlights high-risk integrations for better governance and decision-making.

How can I govern data movement between SaaS applications?

With Obsidian, you can visualize dataflows between SaaS apps, gaining insight into activities and access levels for each integration. This enables you to investigate movements, manage data permissions, and ensure alignment with data residency or compliance requirements.

What steps can I take to block unsecured data access between apps?

Obsidian allows you to take corrective actions by identifying and disabling risky integrations that don’t meet your organization’s security requirements. You can also remove inactive or unnecessary integrations, reducing your attack surface and minimizing potential data exposure.

How does Obsidian manage Shadow SaaS and unsanctioned applications?

Obsidian detects and blocks unsanctioned or "Shadow SaaS" applications, helping organizations maintain visibility and control over their SaaS environment. This minimizes the risk of data breaches stemming from unauthorized or unmonitored third-party apps.

Why is it important to remove stale or inactive SaaS integrations?

Inactive or stale SaaS integrations often retain unnecessary permissions and access to sensitive data, posing a significant security risk if compromised. Removing these integrations with Obsidian reduces both your attack surface and the likelihood of accidental data exposure.

How quickly can I start monitoring and securing app-to-app data movement with Obsidian?

Obsidian offers fast onboarding, allowing organizations to start monitoring SaaS integrations and securing app-to-app data flows within minutes. Continuous monitoring and data-driven insights ensure ongoing protection for your critical SaaS applications.
