Employees can easily bypass security with Google OAuth, file sharing, and Chrome extensions

Without visibility or Google-specific expertise, security teams miss signs of oversharing, inactive OAuth apps, and excessive permissions.

  • Users can share files externally without oversight, especially risky with departing employees (e.g. Google Takeout shared to personal Gmail accounts) 
  • Domain or user delegated OAuth app integrations are typically unmonitored and difficult to audit 
  • Native tools provide limited visibility to assess third-party app integration risk or customize alert detections

Monitor Google Workspace access, OAuth, extensions, and threat activity with Obsidian

  • Surface inactive or high-risk user and domain-delegated OAuth apps to support ongoing audits
  • Identify suspicious email activity and account behavior to accelerate investigation and containment
  • Quickly search for malicious Chrome browser extensions during incident disclosures*
  • Use out-of-the-box Google Threat detections or create custom rule detections tailored to your environment
