Obsidian Security, a leading provider of SaaS security solutions, has expanded its footprint in the EMEA region with the launch of a new data center in Frankfurt, Germany. Built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), this facility enables European customers to safeguard their SaaS applications, identities, and data while fully adhering to regional data governance and sovereignty requirements.

With SaaS applications holding increasingly sensitive business information, organizations are placing greater emphasis on ensuring their data remains within local jurisdictions. Obsidian Security’s German data center allows European clients to leverage the platform’s industry-leading protections without compromising on security standards, reflecting the company’s commitment to meeting evolving enterprise needs. This launch comes at a time when monthly SaaS breaches have surged by 300% year-over-year, with identity-centric attacks becoming the predominant threat vector.

Securing SaaS in a Cloud-First World

“As businesses transition critical workloads to SaaS for efficiency and scalability, traditional on-premises security solutions are often insufficient,” said Hasan Imam, CEO of Obsidian Security. “Without comprehensive visibility into application security configurations and a robust system for identity threat detection and response, organizations are exposed. Compromised credentials alone can allow attackers to move laterally and gain access to the entire corporate environment.”

Imam added, “Obsidian Security uniquely combines application posture management with identity protection to deliver complete SaaS security. Our German data center ensures that European clients can adopt our full suite of solutions while keeping all data within Europe, maintaining both compliance and protection.”

“Many of our clients are now using cloud-based SaaS platforms to manage and store sensitive information,” noted Daniel Schwesinger Tinas, Cloud Solution Advisor at GlobalDots. “Even as organizations move to the cloud, data protection, residency, and privacy regulations remain critical. Having the ability to deploy Obsidian Security from a German data center provides our customers with end-to-end protection for their SaaS ecosystem, reinforcing our commitment to delivering innovative and compliant cloud solutions.”
