Obsidian's approach is distinct because it continuously learns from each threat it mitigates, improving its solutions over time. This capability, combined with their extensive research and partnerships with companies like CrowdStrike, positions them as a trusted provider for Fortune 1000 companies. The goal of Obsidian Security is to offer cost-effective solutions that simplify SaaS security management and reduce risks associated with third-party integrations.
