Why your teams are using n8n

Unlike off-the-shelf automation tools, n8n lets technical teams build and deploy custom AI agents and workflows across any app, API, or data source — with full control over logic, infrastructure, and integrations.

Automate complex workflows

Orchestrate multi-step tasks like data pipeline management, API integrations, incident routing, and cross-tool synchronization across your entire stack.

Accelerate delivery

Use agents to connect tools, trigger actions, and automate handoffs between systems, cutting the manual work out of your engineering and ops workflows.

Built for everyone to use

Let technical and ops teams build custom automations without relying on dedicated engineering resources, using n8n's flexible, code-optional builder.

Powerful automation makes n8n great — and risky.

Every n8n agent inherits user permissions and operates across your SaaS and AI environment Without visibility into what they're doing, risky actions and data access go undetected until it's too late.

Excessive agent permissions create hidden exposure

n8n agents often request broad access (like read/write all data) when only narrow permissions are needed, creating unnecessary exposure.

Every node connection is a potential entry point

A single node connecting to core SaaS like Salesforce or Google Drive can become a hidden entry point.

Sensitive data leaks through automated flows

Automated flows can accidentally sync sensitive customer or employee data across systems.


Workflows built outside security's view go ungoverned

Workflows built outside security’s view make it impossible to enforce policies and monitor agents.


Third-party nodes introduce unvetted code into production

Community nodes or third-party plugins may contain vulnerabilities or malicious code that slip into production workflows.

n8n’s native controls can’t stop breaches

N8n surfaces your agents but can’t show you every risk, leaving security teams blind to unauthorized tool calls, excessive permissions, and unsanctioned cross-service actions.

Siloed visibility across tenants

No single view of which agents, MCP servers, and models are running across your tenants.

No single control plane

Native logs weren't built to capture risky tool calls and cross-service actions, especially from agents running outside n8n on platforms like Claude.

Over-permissioned agents

Agent permissions are scattered across every app they touch. Without a unified view, you can't know your true exposure until something goes wrong.

Privilege escalation

Agents act on behalf of users but aren't always bound by the same limits. Without a full identity graph, you won't know when an agent quietly exceeds the access its user was granted.

Secure your agents

Control every n8n agent from a single governance layer

Map, monitor, and manage your agents with a single governance layer.

Inventory every n8n agent

Maintain a continuous system of record for every agent, including the MCP servers they invoke, the LLMs behind them, the applications they connect to, and the privileges they hold.


Key benefits:

  • Shadow AI and auditability: Find unsanctioned agents including their connections and executions.

  • Consolidate every agent: Map agents and their risks no matter the platform they are built on.

Dashboard view showing a list of SaaS agents, their connections, associated risks, and owners, alongside a visual network map of connected applications.
Graph visualization of SaaS applications and AI agents, with nodes representing data flows and connections between services.

Real-time risk assessments for your agents

Know which agents are risky before they cause damage. Obsidian automatically maps everything an agent can access and flags the ones that pose the biggest threat, so your team always knows where to focus.


Key benefits:

  • Secure new agents by default: Automatically assess new and updated agents for risky scopes and unsafe tool chains.

  • Prioritize your security: Sort risks by criticality to consistently govern agents across every AI platform your teams deploy.

Reduce excessive agent access

Most tools show you what permissions an agent is configured with. Obsidian shows you the agent’s actual activity. Using the Identity Graph, Obsidian correlates agent configurations with real entitlements across every connected application, surfacing toxic combinations, cross-app access paths, and standing privileges that create unnecessary blast radius.


Key benefits:

  • Right‑size permissions: Remove unused privileges without breaking workflows.

  • Protect sensitive systems: Limit agent access to only approved systems.

Detailed risk report for agent credential sharing, including risk name, severity, description, connected Gmail account, and associated connector ID.
Visual map of SaaS agent connections highlighting potential risky nodes or plugins within a workflow diagram.

Full chain audit logs for every agent

Obsidian gives security teams complete audit coverage across every Copilot agent: who is running it, what actions it took, what data it touched, and where those logs are unified for review. Turn audit findings into proof points instead of pressure points.


Key benefits:

  • Complete chain of custody: Trace every agent action from execution to outcome with unified logs ready for any internal or external review.

  • Demonstrate compliance: Show auditors and regulators that effective AI governance controls are operating consistently and aligned to emerging compliance requirements.
