Challenge

Attackers are compromising SaaS accounts undetected

Identity-based SaaS attacks bypass your existing defenses. Without unified visibility and context, security teams can't detect or respond fast enough.

  • Identity-based SaaS 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 SaaS
  • Investigations are slow because teams must manually sift through logs across multiple SaaS apps

Frequently asked questions

What is SaaS account takeover?

SaaS account takeover happens when an attacker gains access to a legitimate user account inside a SaaS 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 SaaS account takeovers so hard to detect?

Most SaaS 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 SaaS 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 SaaS account takeover when activity looks legitimate?

Obsidian correlates identity, session, and in-app activity across SaaS 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 SaaS apps.

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 SaaS apps 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 SaaS-native detections, investigations, and context those tools don’t provide. Many customers use Obsidian to reduce SIEM data volume and investigation effort while improving speed and confidence.
