Palo Alto, CA, January 15, 2025 — Obsidian Security, the leader in SaaS Security, is proud to support the data sovereignty goals of its European customers and extend its reach into the EMEA region with a data center in Frankfurt, Germany. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), customers have the confidence to deploy Obsidian’s SaaS security solution to not only protect their SaaS applications, identities, and data, but also meet data governance requirements.
Due to the sensitive nature of the data in SaaS applications, businesses are increasingly focused on ensuring that their data remains within their region. Offering the world-class Obsidian Security platform from the German data center upholds data sovereignty for European customers without sacrificing security standards, and reinforces Obsidian Security’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of all customers. This comes right as monthly SaaS breaches have increased 300% year over year—with identity-based attacks becoming the dominant tactic for adversaries.
“As organizations migrate their business-critical data to SaaS for improved efficiency, traditional on-premise security struggles to keep up. Without a deep understanding of the security controls needed across these diverse applications or a robust identity threat detection and response solution, SaaS deployments are vulnerable,” explains Hasan Imam, Chief Executive Officer at Obsidian Security. “The need to secure your identities and applications has never been more pressing. Without configuration, identity protection, detection, and response, a single set of compromised credentials can give attackers the ability to move laterally and access the entire corporate environment.”
He adds, “Obsidian is the only platform that integrates application posture and identity security to deliver complete SaaS protection. With our German data center, European customers can fully adopt Obsidian’s solution, ensuring their SaaS ecosystem is secured without their data ever leaving Europe.”
“More and more of our customers are using cloud-based SaaS applications to store and access sensitive data,” says Daniel Schwesinger Tinas, Cloud Solution Advisor at GlobalDots. “But even with this migration to the cloud, data protection, residency, and privacy laws still apply. Knowing our customers can use Obsidian Security for end-to-end protection of their SaaS applications and data from a German data center is a strong differentiator and mirrors our continued efforts to find the best and most innovative cloud solutions for our customers.”
