OBSIDIAN TEAM

Obsidian is one of the ten finalists for the RSA Conference 2020 Innovation Sandbox Contest. We are thrilled and honored to be selected by the panel of judges to present to participate in this highly selective event. The competition calls on the most promising young companies in cybersecurity to showcase their transformative technologies to a panel of judges and live audience at RSA Conference 2020 in San Francisco. Listen to our pitch live at Moscone Center South on Monday, February 24. The contest will be from 1:30pm to 4:30pm PST.

Obsidian delivers the industry’s first Cloud Detection and Response. The use of SaaS applications is exploding, and security teams lack a unified, in-depth view of users, data, and applications in the cloud: Who is using the applications? Should they have access? Are they doing the right thing? Obsidian solves this problem by delivering unified visibility of users, privileges and activity in SaaS, allowing you to detect and investigate breaches, uncover insider threats, and secure SaaS apps without affecting productivity. Read about why CDR is the missing piece of the cloud security.
