Overview
Obsidian Security is a SaaS security company headquartered in Newport Beach, California, and founded in 2017. The company monitors software as a service applications such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Workday, and Okta for account takeover, risky integrations, excessive privilege, and configuration drift. It sells to enterprise security teams that have moved core business systems into SaaS and lack visibility into activity inside those applications.
