a leading finserv company blocks 5 unauthorized AI apps with Obsidian Security

A leading financial services company faced significant security challenges in its cloud-based SaaS environment. Its existing SIEM tools were ineffective, requiring manual effort to manage and leaving it vulnerable to sophisticated phishing attacks and the risks posed by unauthorized generative AI tools. To address this, the company turned to Obsidian Security for its SaaS security solution.

Obsidian Security provided a comprehensive platform with out-of-the-box integrations and threat detections. This enabled the security team to quickly respond to a major phishing attack, quarantining threats within 30 minutes. Furthermore, Obsidian identified and helped block five unauthorized AI applications that had access to their environment. As a result, the company protected its users from phishing and significantly reduced its third-party risk and technical debt.
