govern app to app data movement

App-to-app data movement refers to the transfer of data between integrated SaaS applications, often via APIs or third-party connectors. Unlike traditional user-to-app data flows, these movements can happen undetected by legacy security solutions like CASB, DLP, or SASE, increasing the risk of unauthorized data exposure.

Legacy tools such as CASB, DLP, and SASE are designed to monitor user activities or network traffic, but they lack visibility into API-level app integrations. This makes them "blind" to the hidden channels where SaaS applications pass data directly to each other, often bypassing established security controls.

Obsidian provides a normalized and comprehensive view of all your active and inactive SaaS integrations. It helps organizations identify which applications have access to sensitive data and highlights high-risk integrations for better governance and decision-making.

With Obsidian, you can visualize dataflows between SaaS apps, gaining insight into activities and access levels for each integration. This enables you to investigate movements, manage data permissions, and ensure alignment with data residency or compliance requirements.

Obsidian allows you to take corrective actions by identifying and disabling risky integrations that don’t meet your organization’s security requirements. You can also remove inactive or unnecessary integrations, reducing your attack surface and minimizing potential data exposure.

Obsidian detects and blocks unsanctioned or "Shadow SaaS" applications, helping organizations maintain visibility and control over their SaaS environment. This minimizes the risk of data breaches stemming from unauthorized or unmonitored third-party apps.

Inactive or stale SaaS integrations often retain unnecessary permissions and access to sensitive data, posing a significant security risk if compromised. Removing these integrations with Obsidian reduces both your attack surface and the likelihood of accidental data exposure.

Obsidian offers fast onboarding, allowing organizations to start monitoring SaaS integrations and securing app-to-app data flows within minutes. Continuous monitoring and data-driven insights ensure ongoing protection for your critical SaaS applications.
