## Overview
Obsidian Security is a SaaS security platform that protects applications like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and others against identity-based threats. It combines posture management, threat detection, and third-party integration risk for the SaaS layer.

## What it is good at
Obsidian focuses on where modern identity attacks increasingly land: SaaS. It detects account takeover, risky OAuth integrations, and suspicious activity across connected applications, and hardens SaaS configuration, giving security teams visibility into an area traditional ITDR and endpoint tools miss.

## Where it falls short
Its focus is SaaS, so on-premises Active Directory threat detection and recovery are outside its core, and it complements rather than replaces directory-focused ITDR.

## Pricing
Quote-based enterprise pricing.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere
Choose Obsidian to detect and harden identity risk across SaaS applications. Look elsewhere for AD-focused ITDR (see [Semperis](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/itdr/semperis/)).

## Bottom line
A SaaS-focused identity threat detection and posture platform, strong where attacks target cloud applications and OAuth.
