OBSIDIAN
The protective shield of the EternaEdge ecosystem. OBSIDIAN detects foreign targeting, insider threats, and asset vulnerabilities—before they become incidents—through counterintelligence-first analytics and multi-signal correlation.
OBSIDIAN runs on the APEX Platform—sharing entity resolution, risk scoring, and orchestration with all EternaEdge products. One intelligence foundation. No silos.
One Product. Three Mission Areas.
OBSIDIAN delivers counterintelligence, insider threat, asset protection, and vetting capabilities through three purpose-built modules—each with clear outcomes.
OBSIDIAN Guard
Behavioral Analytics & Insider Threat Detection
Continuously monitors behavioral patterns across digital, physical, and organizational signals to detect insider risk before it escalates.
- Establishes behavioral baselines for each individual
- Correlates anomalies across access, travel, cyber, and OSINT
- Generates risk-prioritized alerts—not alert floods
- Initiates FORGE investigation cases when thresholds are met
OBSIDIAN Shield
Program Protection & Foreign Targeting
Monitors your most sensitive programs, technologies, and supply chains for signs of foreign intelligence interest or active targeting.
- Maps assets to threat actors and collection priorities
- Detects targeting activity across OSINT, cyber, and travel signals
- Identifies supply-chain vulnerabilities and foreign dependencies
- Generates proactive early warnings—not post-incident reports
OBSIDIAN Check
Vetting, Due Diligence & FOCI Risk
Automates background investigations for personnel, vendors, and partners—with continuous monitoring for adverse changes.
- Maps beneficial ownership and hidden corporate structures
- Screens against sanctions, PEPs, and adverse media
- Detects FOCI indicators for defense contractor compliance
- Generates audit-ready reports with CI red flags
From Signals to Action
OBSIDIAN transforms raw signals into actionable intelligence through a clear, auditable workflow—with human-in-the-loop where it matters.
An employee with access to a sensitive program begins accessing files outside their normal scope. PATHWAY detects recent travel to a sensitive country. STRATUM flags anomalous data exfiltration patterns. OBSIDIAN correlates these signals into a single risk profile, elevates the score, and automatically initiates a case in FORGE CaseOps for investigation—with full evidence chain attached.
What Makes OBSIDIAN Different
Not another point tool. OBSIDIAN is counterintelligence software built for multi-domain fusion, intent detection, and continuous vetting.
CI-First Approach
Built on counterintelligence tradecraft—not retrofitted IT security. OBSIDIAN evaluates intent, targeting, and adversary TTPs—not just policy violations.
Multi-Signal Correlation
Fuses digital activity, physical access, travel, cyber indicators, and OSINT into a unified risk picture—through APEX entity resolution.
Intent & Targeting Detection
Goes beyond anomaly detection to identify patterns consistent with foreign collection, technology theft, or insider recruitment.
Ecosystem Integration
Shares entity resolution and risk scoring with LUCID, STRATUM, PATHWAY, and FORGE. One platform—no duplicate profiles or conflicting assessments.
Audit-Ready Governance
Full chain of custody, decision logging, and compliance-ready reporting. Designed for NISPOM, CMMC, and continuous evaluation requirements.
Proactive Early Warning
Designed to detect threats during the reconnaissance and targeting phase—before compromise occurs—not after the damage is done.
Use Cases
How organizations use OBSIDIAN to detect and mitigate protective intelligence risks.
Foreign Targeting Detection
A defense contractor's emerging technology program attracts unusual interest. Foreign entities make conference contact attempts, OSINT probing increases, and cyber reconnaissance targets the program's supply chain.
Insider Risk Escalation
A cleared employee begins exhibiting concerning behavioral changes: after-hours access, downloading sensitive documents, recent travel to a sensitive region, and unusual financial transactions.
Supply Chain FOCI Risk
A critical supplier is acquired by a foreign investment firm. The new ownership structure involves shell companies and beneficial owners with ties to a foreign government entity.
Who Uses OBSIDIAN
OBSIDIAN serves counterintelligence, security, and compliance teams across government, defense, and enterprise environments.
