Secure what your business is made of

Material is a unified detection and response platform for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. It protects your company’s fundamental material—the emails, documents, and accounts that it's made of—before, during, and after a breach.

Trusted by the fastest growing companies

fact

Google Workspace & Microsoft 365 are critical infrastructure.

The cloud workspace isn’t just another app—its core to how your business operates. The communications, documents, and accounts that drive collaboration and productivity are essential for keeping your business running.

truth

Cloud workspaces are powerful tools — and complex threat surfaces.

Phishing attacks, social engineering, overexposed files, config exploits: there are countless ways into these platforms and vulnerabilities are exploited quickly and at scale.

problem

Today's solutions are siloed and inefficient.

Relying on a mix of native security, homegrown detections, and point solutions introduces vulnerabilities, complexity, and operational burden.

solution

It’s time to evolve.

We got EDR for endpoints and CSPM for cloud workloads. It’s time the cloud office—Google Workspace and Microsoft 365—got dedicated protection too.

Meet Material —

The first detection and response platform built for the cloud workspace

Email Security

Detect and remediate malicious emails that bypass native controls

Data Security

Protect sensitive data in emails & files without hampering productivity

Identity Threat Detection

Harden cloud workspace accounts and contain the blast radius of a compromise

Posture Management

Prioritize and automatically fix configuration drifts and risky user behavior

This is security built for the systems you rely on.

The cloud workspace is a single app. Trying to secure it with a patchwork of other tools creates complexity and context gaps. Material is purpose-built for the cloud workspace and gives you a holistic view of your most critical assets.

Built for cloud workspaces, not adapted to them

Legacy email security and DLP tools are retrofitted for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365—not designed for them. Material offers in-depth protection for cloud-based collaboration.

Protection before, during, and after an incident

Material turns incidents into manageable events with full lifecycle protection—detection before, containment during, and resilience after.

Even if credentials are compromised, your sensitive data stays protected.

Security that multiplies impact, not headcount

You don’t need more tools or headcount, you need smarter automation. Material comes with built-in auto-remediations that resolve issues with pre-defined settings— so your team handles more threats without the burnout.

Built for the way you work

Material fits seamlessly into your team’s workflows and is fully extensible via APIs and event hooks. It protects users without getting in their way. Trade reactive scrambles for proactive security, and trust that Material is always in the background.

Security is what we build, secure is how we operate

Material was founded by engineers who’ve experienced the limitations of traditional tools firsthand. This experience shapes everything we build.

Security &
Compliance

SOC 2 Type 2 certified operations and regular third-party security testing

Transparent Accountability

Documented chain of custody for code changes and immutable audit logs for all admin and security actions.

Isolated
Deployments

Single-tenant architecture that keeps your environment fully isolated from other customers.

Proactive Incident Response

Dedicated incident response team with documented protocols, background checks, and continuous training.

How top security teams use Material

“I think it’s important to look at the cloud office at a wider holistic level and not just at the point of entry. Understanding its whole life cycle and even what’s being done with it when resting is critical to protecting that platform. Material does that very well.”

“With Material, we have a mightier team because automation takes away the toil. The security team doesn’t need to check every email and do all the data mapping across multiple tools. It’s so much easier.”

“We're seeing much better adoption because Material allows us to tailor our phishing campaigns to what we're actually seeing in the industry. And it takes a lot of that burden off the end user, which is fantastic for us.“

“The Material team is highly engaged. They're in our real time communication channels with us. They go above and beyond in terms of delivery. And we see that time and time again. I mean, I can't say enough good things about them.”

“If someone gets access to the inbox, they have keys to the kingdom and can reset passwords for all sorts of other apps. With Material, they can’t get into our file store and other applications, because there is this additional layer of protection. This is such a game-changer to prevent a hacker from getting into other accounts.”

“Normally, getting analytics on email sucks. We were making decisions about email security, but we didn’t have all the data. Material gave us visibility so we can get to the root and solve the problem instead of brute-forcing it. We didn’t know we needed Risk Analytics until we saw it, but now it has become an invaluable part of what we do.”

“Material is now the solution that I talk about most with enterprise security folks. I tell them: you should know that Material is the Coca Cola of email security. We love this product and benefit from every feature of it.”

“The plan was to find something more holistic for email security. We always consider how to best maintain security and privacy while improving usability across our entire tech stack. Material balances both.”

“The greatest success right now is seeing increased involvement from people across the company. We’ve seen people say that this type of phishing defense is pretty cool. It’s nice to be able to get their thoughts and thank them for proactive behavior.”

“When it comes to filtering phishing attempts, Google is a good start. But as a fintech company that handles sensitive data, we wanted a more robust tool. With Material, Carta has increased its phishing awareness posture.”

“We started to replace incumbent partners with those that give a broader lens into what's actually going on within the organization. Moving to Material has been a huge win for us. We gained visibility and curbed some of the risks within our environment.”

“Something that really stuck out to us was posture management as an element of the tool – there's a lot of really good context that would be hard to find in Google otherwise.“

“Material in contrast is, at least for me, very much plug and play. It works well for a very lean team to make sure you're still covering your bases and making sure your email suite is secure.”

“Visibility is my number one driver for implementing Material. You can’t protect what you don’t know. Now, we have visibility, we can audit at any time, and we have the metrics. No more guessing that something is risky when we can quickly measure it.”

“Material was simple to operate and trust even at our scale. There was no complex implementation and no disruption to go into production, and we had full access to our own cloud instance throughout. Within a couple of hours of deployment, we could analyze all the email data for all our domains across North America. It was remarkable.”

“If we review the last 5 years of incidents across multiple industries, both sophisticated and wide-spread attacks started with a successful intrusion through phishing. Material gives us an extra layer of protection when it matters most—and accelerates our detection and response time by delivering a strong workflow.”
