In 2017, Obsidian Security was created to close a critical gap: securing the SaaS applications where modern business happens. The founders recognized that while enterprises had focused heavily on securing cloud infrastructure and endpoints, SaaS sprawl had exposed an enormous security vulnerability where users, data, and business operations actually live. Obsidian set out to build the first truly comprehensive security solution for SaaS environments. Backed by top investors including Greylock Partners, Norwest Venture Partners, GV, Wing, and IVP, Obsidian has built a complete SaaS security platform that combines application posture management with identity and data protection to prevent, detect, and mitigate threats across the entire kill chain. The platform provides real-time visibility into SaaS environments, detects deviations from normal behavior that can indicate account compromise or insider threats, and responds to risks as they happen. Today, Obsidian is trusted by global enterprises including Snowflake, T-Mobile, Pure Storage, and protects more than 200 organizations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. The company's leadership team includes industry veterans who helped define the categories of endpoint and identity security at CrowdStrike, Okta, Cylance, and Carbon Black.
