"The 'aha moment' came when we realized Material Security wasn’t just a technical product, but a cultural one. By design it reinforces good security culture and collaboration."

"The best thing about the phishing features in Material Security is I haven't had to do anything like a phishing campaign. I've loved the interactivity of it all.”

"It’s a night and day scenario since we’ve had Material. It just made it a lot more efficient to handle any phishing attempt by proactively removing those extensions, those files, and those links so that when a reported email reaches a user's inbox, all they're seeing is that this email is not good, please don't click it."

“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.”

“The thing I care the most about is how long it takes to protect people from malicious emails. Once I get that done, an investigation can take more time because the urgency is gone. So (with Material) I can now focus on the more interesting threats like targeted malware delivery instead of spending time on common impersonations.”

“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.”

“Having our own instance and isolating the data was huge for us. We could control behavior and access to our account. We know exactly what’s going on and have a higher level of confidence because we control our own data.”

“Material’s solution is brilliant and simple. It enables you to protect the long tail of email while still keeping it available to employees. It helps protect us from day zero to whenever.”

“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.”

“Material Security was a force multiplier for us. It allowed our security team to enhance our identity layer program and gain visibility —all while being able to enforce a second factor on top of everything.”

“Amplitude employees love the idea of being a superhero. People want to help their teammates and make a difference in protecting the company from a disastrous event. Material empowers our users to be our best defenders.”

“I can sleep better knowing that my teammates are being protected while Material is automatically doing the backend work to say whether something looks suspicious, legitimate, or is a full stop.”

“Slowing down the attacker gives me more time to respond. Those speed bumps are the things that allow us to breathe at night.”

“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.”

“It used to take me 20-30 mins to investigate a single phishing email. Today I received 5 or 6 phishing emails and spent only 2-5 minutes in Material.”

“At Gusto, every employee is serious about protecting our customers and ecosystem. We are using Material to take full advantage of the underlying APIs in our cloud email to protect against phishing, reduce ATO attacks, prevent sensitive data leakage, and more.”
