Manage Excessive Privileges in SaaS

Excessive SaaS privileges occur when users, especially admins, have more access than necessary to SaaS applications. This increases the risk of costly breaches, as attackers who compromise these accounts can access sensitive information and critical system settings. Reducing excessive privileges minimizes the potential impact of account compromise.

Obsidian provides a normalized, unified inventory of all users and apps in your SaaS ecosystem, helping you quickly identify privileged accounts, such as administrators, that lack Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This visibility allows you to take immediate action to secure these high-risk accounts.

Privilege creep refers to the gradual accumulation of access rights beyond what users need for their job roles. Obsidian helps organizations track and manage privilege creep by monitoring changes, identifying excessive permissions, and recommending adjustments all within a single dashboard.

Obsidian surfaces accounts with excessive privileges across services, highlights those presenting the most risk, and provides actionable recommendations to reduce over-privilege. The platform also enables the revocation of dormant accounts and unnecessary access permissions directly from its interface.
