    Identity and Access Risk Insights Boost Security While Reducing False Positives

    5.0
    Oct 31, 2025
    Our team uses Obsidian to strengthen our SaaS security posture, monitor identity-related alerts, and gain visibility into our shadow IT. It's been an outstanding tool for improving our overall cloud security operations. Obsidian has significantly enhanced our ability to triage incidents quickly and accurately, with very few false positives. The platform's insights into identity and access risks have been especially valuable. Beyond the technology, the customer support has been exceptional - responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive. It feels more like working with a partner rather than another vendor.
