Obsidian Security has announced the appointment of Sunil Seshadri to its Board of Directors, as the company seeks to meet ever growing demand.
Seshadri joins the board at a time when the Obsidian platform has been seen as an important tool to Incident Response providers around the world as they respond to a 300% rise in SaaS breaches over the last 12 months.
Partners like Crowdstrike, Kroll, Guidepoint, Wipro and GroupIB have used Obsidian to shorten the time needed to normalise identities and activities in SaaS and map out the kill-chain events that led to a SaaS breach.
“We started our incident response engagements by partnering with CrowdStrike in mid-2022, and in less than two years, we’ve accumulated the largest collection of SaaS breach data, giving us deep insights into the SaaS threat landscape,” says Hasan Imam, CEO at Obsidian Security. “It is also immensely gratifying to have someone like Sunil Seshadri on our team.
“His extensive experience at leading global security organisations, coupled with his unique insights into security challenges faced by enterprises and an unparalleled network of peers, significantly strengthens our ability to deliver robust, innovative solutions that safeguard our customers’ expanding SaaS environments.”
Seshadri joins the Obsidian board, bringing over 28 years of expertise in technology and information security leadership. His experience includes roles as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at financial institutions including Wells Fargo, NYSE, Visa and Intercontinental Exchange.
“I’m thrilled to join the Obsidian journey,” states Sunil Seshadri. “Throughout my tenure as a CISO, I’ve encountered numerous threats and breaches. The one constant truth is that threat actors invariably target data. As data increasingly migrates to SaaS platforms, these become the new frontline.
“Addressing these threats effectively requires a combination of technological innovation, real-world breach insights, and a desire to partner with customers to develop the right solutions.
“That is what has separated the best from the rest. And SaaS security will be no different.”
