Attackers are compromising third-party application accounts undetected

Your most sensitive data has moved to third-party applications. And so have attackers. Yet security teams struggle to detect and contain these attacks in time before data is stolen and the damage is done.

Identity-based third-party application attacks bypass perimeter and endpoint controls
Multi-factor Authentication and Single Sign On don't eliminate credential or token abuse
Security teams lack context to distinguish malicious activity from normal behavior in third-party applications
Investigations are slow because teams must manually shift through logs across multiple third-party application apps
300%

85%
third-party application incidents begin with compromised identity
57%
breaches are not detected internally

Frequently Asked Questions

What is third-party application account takeover?

Third-Party Application account takeover happens when an attacker gains access to a legitimate user account inside a third-party application. This is often done using stolen credentials, valid MFA challenges, hijacked sessions, or abused OAuth tokens. Once inside, attackers look like real users and can quietly access data, move laterally across apps, and persist for long periods without detection.

Why are third-party application account takeovers so hard to detect?

Most third-party application account takeovers don’t look like traditional breaches. Attackers authenticate successfully and blend into normal user behavior. MFA and SSO don’t stop token theft or session hijacking, and third-party application logs are fragmented across many applications. Security teams end up stitching together delayed or incomplete data after damage has already occurred.

How does Obsidian detect third-party application account takeover when activity looks legitimate?

Obsidian correlates identity, session, and in-app activity across third-party applications, identity providers, and browser signals. By resolving human identities and continuously analyzing behavior, Obsidian surfaces high-confidence detections even when attackers use valid credentials, tokens, or sessions that appear normal in isolation.

Can Obsidian prevent account takeover before credentials are stolen?

Yes. Obsidian provides inline, in-browser protection that blocks users from entering credentials into adversary-in-the-middle phishing sites in real time. This stops popular phishing kits and session hijacking attacks before accounts are compromised.

What types of account takeover attacks does Obsidian protect against?

Obsidian protects against credential phishing, adversary-in-the-middle attacks, token theft, session hijacking, MFA bypass techniques, and abuse of non-human identities. Protection spans both initial access and post-authentication abuse inside third-party applications.

How quickly can Obsidian detect and contain an account takeover?

Obsidian delivers near real-time detections as SaaS events are processed, even when native logs are delayed. Identity-centric timelines and guided remediation let teams confirm compromise and contain abuse quickly, reducing investigation time by up to 75 percent.

How does Obsidian help with investigation and response?

Obsidian reconstructs attacker activity across third-party applications into clear, identity-centric timelines aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Security teams can immediately see which users, apps, sessions, and data were involved and follow guided steps to revoke access, invalidate tokens, and stop further spread.

Does Obsidian replace SIEM or identity tools?

No. Obsidian doesn’t replace SIEM or identity platforms. It complements them by delivering detections, investigations, and context for Third-Party Applications that those tools don’t provide. Many customers use Obsidian to reduce SIEM data volume and investigation effort while improving speed and confidence.
