What is Shadow AI and how does Obsidian detect it?

Shadow AI refers to unsanctioned AI tools or GenAI applications used by employees without security approval. Obsidian detects it via browser-level discovery, providing an inventory of tools, extensions, and personal accounts accessing corporate data.

How does Obsidian secure AI agents?

Obsidian provides visibility into Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and agent permissions. It monitors agent behavior in real-time to prevent privilege escalation and unauthorized data access during execution.

Why are traditional security tools insufficient for AI risk?

Legacy tools focus on human activity and perimeters. They cannot see browser-based AI usage, intercept GenAI prompts, or track autonomous agents operating through OAuth tokens and API keys.

Does Obsidian protect against OAuth token theft?

Yes, Obsidian's Knowledge Graph identifies which tokens are held by third-party integrations and monitors for signs of abuse or token replay, addressing vulnerabilities like redirect URI manipulation.

Can I use Obsidian to manage SaaS compliance?

Yes, Obsidian monitors configuration drift and maps settings to compliance frameworks, significantly reducing the manual effort required for SaaS security reviews and audits.

About Obsidian Security

What the tool does and who it's for

Obsidian Security provides a comprehensive platform for End-to-End AI and SaaS Security, specifically designed for enterprise environments. It addresses the unique risks introduced by Generative AI and SaaS sprawl by offering visibility into shadow AI, securing autonomous AI agents, and protecting against SaaS-to-SaaS supply chain attacks. The platform combines SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM), Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), and Data Governance to secure the interaction layer between humans, AI agents, and sensitive corporate data. By utilizing a specialized Knowledge Graph and self-learning AI, Obsidian detects sophisticated threats like session hijacking, token theft (OAuth abuse), and adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing that traditional security tools often miss.
