Frontier AI Defense

Frontier AI finds the attack path. Obsidian cuts it first.

Frontier models chain low-risk findings across your third-party apps into a breach, in hours. Obsidian finds the paths that reach your data, and the few fixes that break them.

What changed

Frontier AI made attacking your long tail cheap.

For twenty years, dormant tokens and forgotten admin rights were safe to defer, because exploiting them took a skilled team weeks. A frontier model now does it in hours, cheaply enough to run against everyone.

Time to find and chain weaknesses

Weeks Hours

Recon to execution runs without a human. Attackers pay for compute, not talent.

Third-party exposure that survives a year

5x

worse than known exploited vulnerabilities. There’s no patch and often no owner.

Zero-days needed

Zero

Every hop exploits access that already exists: a token, a grant, an admin role.

The response has to be economic too:

Lower your cost of defense. Raise the attacker’s cost. Cap what a foothold is worth.

The bigger risk

Attackers don’t count vulnerabilities. They chain access.

Frontier models will find more vulnerabilities, and your patch process is built for that. What it isn’t built for: chaining low and medium findings across third-party apps into one route to your data.

Finding more vulnerabilities

One CVE, one patch, one owner. Your existing tools and processes already handle this curve.

Chaining more attack paths

No patch, no single owner, spread across identity, privilege and data in apps you don’t run. This is where frontier AI changes the math.

One phished login, four hops, critical impact

Identity

Phished user, weak MFA

Alone: Low

Privilege

Ghost admin reads a key in code

Alone: Medium

Privilege

One key exposes every shared secret

Alone: Medium

Data

Secrets open source code and connected apps

Alone: Low

Stitched

Critical

Each hop sat in somebody’s queue, rated low or medium. No exploit, no zero-day. Across a typical estate, there can be thousands of paths like this one.

The Frontier Funnel

You don’t need to fix 4,000 findings. You need to fix four.

Attack paths share choke points. Obsidian composes every finding into the routes an attacker’s AI would take, then ranks the changes that break the most paths with the least disruption to the business.

How it works

Find the paths. Close them first.

Three moves, each aimed at one side of the economics.

Discovery · lowers your cost of defense

Find the attack paths

Compose every finding across identity, privilege and data into the routes an attacker’s AI would take, and see which ones reach your data.

4,000 paths, mapped and ranked

Governance · raises the attacker’s cost

Fix the most, first

Rank fixes by how many paths each one breaks, with the least disruption to the business. Each recommendation shows exactly which paths it cuts.

4 fixes that break the most paths

Enforcement · caps the cost of impact

Contain it fast

Detect a violation and revoke just the access involved, so a foothold is worth less and the business keeps running.

Hours, not weeks

One graph. A live map of your environment.

The Obsidian Knowledge Graph reads each app from the inside: who the identities are, what they can really do once roles, groups and sharing resolve, which tokens and integrations exist, and what data sits behind them. It all lands in one live graph, which is how we see paths instead of lists.

Explore the Knowledge Graph

Report progress

Know the path is gone, not just ticketed.

When the board or your CISO asks “are we exposed?”, answer with data. Obsidian tracks every attack path over time, so you can show where risk stands today and how fast you’re cutting it.

See the metrics to report

Open critical and high attack paths

Where exposure stands right now, by severity and by the data each path reaches.

Closed vs. new attack paths over time

Whether you’re cutting paths faster than new apps, grants and identities create them.

Always on

Coverage that keeps pace with the models.

Your estate changes every day: new apps, grants, identities and agents. So does the attack. A point-in-time review is stale the day it’s delivered.

Continuous vendor assessment

Catch what changed after you said yes

We baseline every app and integration, then flag new scopes, privilege creep and unusual activity, like an integration suddenly pulling far more data. When something drifts, the blast radius is recomputed automatically.

Network intelligence

One customer’s attack, everyone’s early warning

We see anonymized signals across every connected customer. A technique that shows up in one estate becomes a detection in yours, often before the vendor discloses, so you hear about fast-moving AI threats as they form.

Obsidian AI

Fight AI with AI.

A frontier model chains a path in hours. Change control can take weeks. Obsidian AI closes that gap.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from vulnerability management?

Vulnerability management ranks findings one at a time. Obsidian connects findings across identity, privilege and data in your third-party apps into attack paths, then ranks the fixes that break the most of them.

Do we have to fix every finding?

No. Paths share choke points, so a handful of changes can break most of them. Obsidian shows which changes those are and what each one cuts.

Will Obsidian change things without approval?

Only at the level of autonomy you choose. Obsidian AI can propose fixes for your team to apply, or apply them with your approval.

How does this relate to AI Agent Security?

They’re two sides of the same problem. Frontier AI Defense breaks the paths an attacker’s AI could chain. AI Agent Security decides what your own agents may do with the access they hold.
