Obsidian Security Bolsters Leadership Team Amid Rising AI-driven SaaS Security Risks

KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 (Bernama) -- Obsidian Security, a software as a service (SaaS) security platform trusted by global enterprises, has expanded its go-to-market leadership team with five senior appointments.

According to a statement, these hires position Obsidian to scale its operations as the company addresses the rapidly evolving security challenges posed by agentic artificial intelligence (AI) and accelerates toward long-term growth and initial public offering (IPO) readiness.

The company has appointed Alison Tierney as Vice President (VP) of Go-to-Market Strategy, Corey Elinburg as Field Chief Technology Officer, Brian McHenry as VP of Worldwide Solutions Engineering, Tina Lei as VP of Revenue Marketing, and Tyler Mihevc to lead Mid-Market expansion. These additions follow the recent hiring of Chief Product Officer Khanh Tran, formerly of CrowdStrike.

Obsidian Chief Executive Officer, Hasan Imam said AI is redefining the attack surface, stating: “Our leadership has navigated these shifts before—and we are ready to help our customers do it again, securely and at scale.”

Meanwhile, its Chief Revenue Officer, Brian Murphy said these leaders strengthen the company’s ability to scale globally as enterprises face mounting pressure to secure SaaS environments while enabling innovation.

“This is a strategic inflection point, and we are fully committed to increasing our market impact and driving long-term revenue growth,” he said.

These leadership additions come as organisations worldwide grapple with unprecedented SaaS security risks driven by AI-powered attacks, application sprawl, embedded co-pilots, and AI agents leveraging overly permissive OAuth tokens.

By leveraging a proprietary Knowledge Graph that maps relationships across SaaS, identity, and endpoint data, the platform provides context-rich insights to detect and contain threats introduced through SaaS-to-SaaS integrations.

The leadership team brings scale experience from companies such as Snowflake, Okta, F5, Oracle, and NinjaOne, equipping Obsidian to deepen its global reach and support enterprise adoption of secure AI practices.

Obsidian currently protects over 200 organisations globally, including Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 firms, with operations spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
