Manage Shadow SaaS

55% of Shadow SaaS Apps Are Accessing Your Core Data

Shadow SaaS—unapproved apps bypassing IdP controls—often connect to critical tools like Salesforce and Google Workspace, expanding the attack surface without oversight.

The Challenge
Shadow SaaS App Inventory Grows 25% Every 60 Days
App-to-App Connections Move 10x More Data Than Users
Shadow SaaS Creates
Unwanted and Duplicative Spend
The Obsidian Approach
Discover: Create a Comprehensive Inventory of Applications

- Integrated with identity providers (IdPs) for seamless connectivity
- Provides a detailed inventory of all OAuth integrations across SaaS apps, identifying overpermissioned and unused connections
- Monitors browser activity to capture app usage patterns and flag OAuth-enabled apps with elevated permissions
- Analyzes email headers and access token duration to uncover app-to-app interactions and flag risky authorizations

Collect & Analyze: Identify Authorized but Unfederated Apps

- Detect all sanctioned, federated, and unfederated OAuth applications that bypass your IdP, increasing the risk of unauthorized access
- Gain insights into user details, login frequency, and authentication methods (passwords or SSO)
- Spot shared service accounts for better risk assessment
- Distinguish corporate from personal app usage
- Pinpoint apps that pose real data risks

Respond: Receive Targeted Alerts for Shadow SaaS

- Analyze Shadow SaaS interactions with key business apps (e.g., Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Workday)
- Identify both active and inactive OAuth integrations for complete visibility, prioritizing deactivation of unused connections
- Correlate integrations with risk factors like elevated permissions, long-lived tokens, and suspicious access behaviors
- Gain clear visibility into inactive and over-permissioned integrations to prioritize risk mitigation effectively and control SaaS-related expenses

What customers are saying
Obsidian discovered 1,964 active apps that had not been admin-approved. 91% could be turned off, which drastically minimized our attack surface.
