Loved by the security ^community

If you manage corporate IT security and haven't been following Material Security I recommend checking them out. They bring solutions to email problems that felt intractable and I really appreciate their deployment model.

‍

Really excited for what Ryan Noon and the team are up to over at Material Security. Email has become the center of so much of our digital lives and the blast radius of even a single email account compromise is one of those things that has always kept me up at night. "Zero Trust" for email is long overdue.

“Fundraises are just a milestone: the future is built by people, not capital.” Like I needed another reason to love the folks @ @material_sec

If you haven’t checked out their stuff, you should.

well this is well-deserved and coming from one of the best investors in the business with Trae Stephens, is a double sign of validation. every customer of material i know loves the technology (myself included). congrats to Ryan NoonAbhishek AgrawalKevin Bayly and Rajan Kapoor on an incredible milestone.

It shouldn't be a surprise that the creative minds at @material_sec have just landed such a fantastic Series C. Congrats to the team! I can't wait to see you all cross the finish line together! 🏆 #winningteam

Congratulations to Ryan Noon and the whole Material Security team for their amazing news today. As a customer of their platform, I'm a big fan of the technology, and more importantly, the people behind it. Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to seeing all the great things that are next for you and the team!

In a past life, I was an Incident Responder helping many different victim companies. Material Security would have been a difference maker in stymying the attackers. I love how they are thinking about email security

Congrats Ryan Noon and Abhishek Agrawal!

The team at Material Security has built a really interesting product that completely bypasses how everybody has thought about email security historically. Congrats Ryan Noon & the entire Material team!
#seriesc #unicorn #cybersecurity

I was fortunate to have met with Ryan, Abhishek, and Chris during the early days of building an email security product. I arrived at the meeting somewhat sceptical and was expecting a set of PowerPoint slides and some whiteboarding. Instead, I immediately realised a great core product that solves a problem that every CIO and CISO worries about. While many companies take an approach to reduce your risk, there's only one that gives true assurance to IT and security teams that email and the data contained within it be truly secured. That company is Material Security, which announced their Series B on the back of a great year, a set of delighted customers and a stellar team that continues to build a transformative product. Congratulations to Ryan Noon, Abhishek Agrawal, Chris Park and the entire team on the recognition and wishing you continued success in the time ahead.

Congrats to @internet_meme and team on the launch of @material_sec. Email is always going to be a target for hackers, and Material adds an extra layer of defense to thwart inbox compromise. Glad to be working with Material @insitro.

Great to see the launch of @material_sec today: https://material.security

A really strong team taking a novel approach of protecting the sensitive data, rather than trying to detect if an email is good/bad.

#Security is a critical component of the #customerexperience across the #digitalchannels of any organization yet it is usually an overlooked topic in #cybersecurity programs. As Phil Venables once said: "...we need to keep making the secure path the easiest...and also create some enjoyment in how people interact with security".

It is time to extend #customercentricity to cyber and change the focus of Cyber #investments from a #technology one to a #customer (internal and external) one. The article below addresses one of the important dimensions around #identityandaccessmanagement In addition to this, we should be thinking about how to improve the #governance of the #digitalfootprint, address #emailsecurity (think some innovative solutions such as Material Security for customers), raise the game on #fraud#weaksignal#detection and actively profiling and tracking #adversaries.

Congrats to Ryan Noon and the entire team at Material Security. It was just a moment ago it seems we were talking about the ideas and go to market - stoked to see how far you’ve progressed!LI peeps, this is worth a look…email security is one of the top three issues we all worry about. This isn’t the same ‘ole approach.

Email security continues to be a major area of focus for IT and Security teams. The team at Material Security has taken a very different approach to build a world-class product. Wishing you success in the time ahead Ryan NoonAbhishek AgrawalChris ParkKevin BaylyAlex P.#emailismaterial#emailsecurity

I've been super hesitant to dive into the cyber security market given how crowded it is and how boring and mimetic most of the companies are.

But I've been following @internet_meme and the @material_sec team for a long time and believe me, they're definitely not boring.

Congrats to Ryan Noon. Been a fan from the beginning and super excited to see your vision come together.

Congratulations to Material Security! it's been a blast working with you and your team Abhishek Agrawal!Forbes: This Startup Reached A $1.1 Billion Valuation By Taking The Sting Out Of Email Hacks.https://lnkd.in/g4_K5Zwz

Super impressed with Material Security's meteoric rise in the security world. The whole team is relentless, brilliant, and the kind of people that you love working with. They're solving one of the most important problems in security: how to survive even after an attacker breaks into a mailbox. Highly recommend checking them out.Congrats Ryan Noon and Abhishek Agrawal for the incredible Series C milestone! Well deserved. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Things that seem super obvious now that someone has thought of them:- The wheel- Adhesive bandages- Cocktail olives- Technology to proactively secure email holdingsCongratulations to Material Security and its founders on this impressive milestone. Can’t wait to see what they add to this list next!

Super excited to see the growth of non-snake oil security startups. Rare to see new entrants in the space actually improve the state of security with innovative approaches. @material_sec's mission is personal to me.

Congrats Material Security on the new funding round! Amazing application (both in literal and relative terminology), robust underlying platform and most importantly kickass team that we have had the privilege of working with. If you haven't checked them out, please do! They are doing amazing things and align beautifully with "Zero Trust for Email" model #emailsecurity

Congratulations to Material Security and their founders, Ryan Noon, Chris Park, and Abhishek Agrawal, for their $100M raise to continue to grow and help more companies protect their employees' sensitive data even when their accounts are compromised! I first met the team when the company was just getting started before their seed investment round, and this round shows just how far they've come. Looking forward to watching their ongoing journey and helping a bit along the way!

The partnership that SavvyMoney and Material Security have is incredible! I cannot speak highly enough about Material's work to protect our user's email security and how easily they made it. I would recommend Material 10 out of 10 times for everyone and anyone who manages IT infrastructure, as they are truly leading and paving the way for email security.

Congratulations and continued success to Abhishek AgrawalRyan NoonChris ParkRajan Kapoor of Material Security who I have had the pleasure of working with over the last few years. #materialsecurity

Glad to see startups like Material Security continue to find new ways to quickly protect data in increasingly complex environments. Material has a top notch tech team that understands cyber threats, especially in places that are difficult to uncover. Happy to see another entry to their suite of products as they expand their offerings.

So pumped for Ryan Noon and the entire Material Security team on the news dropping today about their new fund raise (40m$ 👀👀👀) They’re doing some really innovative things in the email security space (yes there is still innovation needed there!).Check them out if you haven’t had a chance yet and read up about their success in the Fortune article by Robert Hackett.

Congratulations @internet_meme and @abhishek0918 on the Series B raise for @material_sec!

Email security is more and more important these days and I'm glad you're working on it.

Exclusive: @material_sec just raised $40 million from folks like @eladgil&@a16z's @martin_casado. While a lot of email security startups are 'building a better phish-trap,' @internet_meme is actually locking down inboxes in a uniquely smart way.

Congrats @internet_meme@abhishek0918 and the @material_sec folks on the Series B raise! https://fortune.com/2021/05/25/email-material-security-microsoft-google-gmail-g-suite-elad-gil/…

Love what the team @material_sec is building - it’s such a simple and refreshing approach to email security! Their customers include @Roblox@DoorDash@databricks among many others. Worth checking out!

The @material_sec team is on Excited to see their novel approach to email security get more $$ and customer . Congrats @internet_meme, @eladgil and the amazing Material team! Do check them out

A huge congratulations to Ryan Noon and the rest of the Material Security team! Glad to see their quest to make email safe for all of us is resonating in a big way!

My most challenging chapter @dropbox was using our analytics system to track & repel a Russian cyberattack. @internet_meme & @abhishek0918 ran that system for years.

Email has many hard-to-fix insecurities. @material_sec fixes a lot of them. Thrilled they're taking off.

Huge congrats to Ryan Noon, Chris Park, and the rest of the team at Material Security on their Series B! They’ve had a game-changing product from the very beginning, so I’m excited to see what more they’ll accomplish.

Congrats to the Material Security Team on their Series B! Keep up the amazing work building a cutting edge email security product.

Congrats to Material Security on their Series B! They are doing incredible things with email security and have built quite the customer list.

Congrats Ryan, Abhishek and Chris on Material Security's Series B! Great to bring strong email protection to more businesses.

If you are looking for a better way to secure email and prevent phishing, I've been very impressed with the Material Security approach.Congrats Ryan, Abhishek& team!!#zerotrust#emailsecurity

Over the years, I seem to have worried quite a bit about email security. I pioneered the practical use of email signing and blocking, back in 2007, which is what culminated in the DMARC standard a couple of years later. If you're not doing DKIM / SPF mail signing, and publishing a DMARC policy, then you're not properly protecting your email channel.Similarly, most people these days regard strong authentication as a vital component of their overall email security strategy. Again, for entirely obvious reasons, I agree 100% with this. This is why we started FIDO back in 2012, and why its a vital piece of your overall email defenses. So, if you are not using strong authentication (perhaps using U2F) to protect your email channels, again you're not fully protecting it.But wait, there's more! You still need to have instrumentation as to what's going on in your corporate email stream, and have the capability to reach into that stream and take quite specific actions - typically policy-based - if you see certain types of naughtiness. Open standards aren't going to help you here - rather, you're going to have to buy a tool to do this.There are few vendors to choose from, and my absolute favorite these days is from Material Security. They raised a pretty large Series B round recently (https://lnkd.in/gAtb5MF), which would indeed lead you to suspect that I'm not the only person who has a lot of faith in them. So, again, if you don't have a tool such as Material Security's (or one of their competitors if you prefer!), you're still not doing email security right.

Only once in a blue moon do you find an "it just makes perfect sense!' product. Congrats to the team!

Congrats to the team at @material_sec on their Series B announced today. It's been fun working closely with @internet_meme and his team, watching the product evolve into something that is truly differentiated in a crowded space.

Elegant. Well thought out solution to an intractable problem in the security space. Best wishes!

Users have 10x more information online than 10 years ago yet we haven’t seen a rethink of information security.

@material_sec assumes the attacker will get access and still protects you, works against social engineering!

Every political campaign should sign up by end of week :)

Email is the embarrassing security gap at the root of so many hacks and data leaks. I'm glad the great folks at Material Security are on the case. Congrats on the new funding!

Congrats to Ryan Noon and the team at Material Security on their latest Series B!(I frequently use the Podesta incident as evidence and justification for cybersecurity and defense-in-depth measures. The articles online don't do enough justice after chatting with Ryan and hearing him explain his motivation and history.) Excited about this take on Zero Trust and E-mail.

Massive Congratulations to Ryan NoonAbhishek Agrawal and the Material Security Team on their latest Series B round of funding.Material is setting the bar for email security and truly leading the pack.Cheers to the future and all the incredible features this round brings - Onwards and upwards 🚀#emailsecurity

“I don't get paid to talk about security products I like. I'm not on any advisory boards. I'm not an investor in any of them. I just like telling other people at *good* security companies that deliver *real* value and stand by their promises.”

I have been ruminating on the Hafnium exchange exploit and my strongest defensive thesis is on @material_sec.

I am so bullish on their product for meaningfully derisking and detecting mailbox abuse.

I mostly hate demos from security companies but when @internet_meme showed me @material_sec I was blown away. Super excited for this team to get this level of investment and valuation I think they are going to do fantastic things. Congrats Material!!!!!!

“Congratulations to Ryan Noon, Abhishek Agrawal, and the Material team for the series C funding! Looking forward to seeing what is next for email security“

‍

Congrats to Material Security team on the latest round. We’ve been fortunate enough to have a great product and partner with the team there. Looks like others agreed and excited to see more features come to reality. My list of asks just got longer.

Very exciting to see cool companies bringing cool solutions to the "shambolic" mess that email has become.

Congrats Material Security on the Series C! Making Zero Trust email security a reality. It has been an honor to witness your journey from stealth. Keep shipping cool stuff

Exciting news for a group that is taking a fresh approach to helping companies protect one of their biggest attack surfaces. Congrats Ryan Noon and the entire Material Security team!

Thrilled to see the incredibly talented team Material Security reach this milestone! Ryan Noon Abhishek Agrawal and team congrats on turning your unique vision into reality to solve some of the biggest issues with #emailsecurity. Looking forward to this next phase of growth and impact #crushingit

‍

So excited for Abhishek Agrawal, Ryan Noon and everyone at Material Security. I’m a fan. I can’t say enough positive things about Material Security … even when I refuse to use the new name.

‍

Huge congrats to Material Security for landing their new Series B funding! The team is one of the most talented and hard working group I know and it's been a pleasure to be part of their journey from the early days. Exciting to see their continued progress and innovative approach to #emailsecurity.

‍

Congrats to @internet_meme and the team at @material_sec on a great raise and growing customer base.

Congrats to @material_sec and @internet_meme on the Series B! They're helping everyone from @Roblox to @DoorDash with a novel approach to email security.

Excited to see @material_sec out of launch. I had the pleasure of getting a demo from @internet_meme before launch. Congrats team!

The most interesting approach to solving email security BEC/Phishing/ATOs I’ve seen in a while

The team at Material Security is taking a fresh approach to solving one of the most fundamental problems in security: protecting data sitting in mailboxes. A few years ago, I took a call prepared to say no to Ryan and Grant as they pitched me on the solution, but I found no reason to - the product made too much sense, and they weren't selling fancy snake oil. It's been impressive to see the journey and how they've grown since. Congrats to the team (Ryan Noon Rajan Kapoor Grant Bauer) on the Series C! Can't wait to see where you guys take this rocketship. :)

Congratulations to my friends Material Security for their series C! Email security sucks, I suggest looking into tools that make it suck a lot less like Material Security. This stuff is like tech-black-magic and I don't think I've ever quite had a jaw-drop moment in a tech demo quite like I did the fist time I saw Material
#security #infosec #emailsecurity

‍

The email shenanigans that worked back in my pentesting days still work too well today. Got nothing but respect for the team at Material Security that are making real progress towards fixing that.Ryan Noon Abhishek Agrawal and team congrats on the unicorn status!

I recorded a Soap Box this morning with @material_sec... their whole product was designed to lock down cloud mailboxes to make threat actor access to your o365/GSuite tenant pointless. I'm pretty much convinced their marketing team is behind the SolarWinds/Holiday Bear stuff. It's pretty cool stuff actually... super creative API use. I'll publish that one early next week I think.

‍

Honestly one of the best security products I've used and its value is apparent in their unique approach. I am sure more companies will try to imitate what Material is doing as it just makes sense.

‍

Congrats, Abhishek Agrawal & Ryan Noon! Well deserved! You've won our security team's "favorite vendor" title two years running. Glad to see others are catching on.

It was a no-brainer to bring on @material_sec. We can see what’s at risk in mailboxes and secure the contents with an added layer of protection. Congrats Ryan Noon Rajan Kapoor!!

‍

I really love @material_sec and how easy it makes it to protect our company’s email systems. This morning I saw a phish in my inbox. I flagged it as phishing and instantly the email was defanged and I received this email.

Our friends over at Material Security have created a real leap forward product in the email security space and just secured 40M for their Series B! Massive congrats to the team there! Can't wait to see where you all take it from here! #security#emailsecurity#startupfunding#infosec

Congrats Ryan Noon Abhishek Agrawal Chris Park amazing progress. I've really enjoyed the WebAuthn one touch to access secured "locked" email on my personal gmail account and am excited to get it on our work emails soon!

Truly incredible to see the growth of @material_sec-- Highly recommend checking them out (have used the product and absolutely love it)

Can’t wait to see what they do next.

We need more companies starting from first principles thinking about securing apps from the inside out. @material_sec has done exactly this for securing email. Highly recommended!

Stoked for @material_sec. It's seriously cool tech, and always nice to see what a genuinely novel approach to a hard problem in security looks like. (Congrats!)

‍

Love the partnership with Ryan Noon and the Material Security team - making "Zero trust for email" a reality for all organizations.

‍

Very happy to see @material_sec growing. They've built smart mitigations for tough problems. Good work @internet_meme, @abhishek0918 and Chris Park!

‍

Just got off the phone with the folks @material_sec and I have to say, @internet_meme and the team have built a pretty amazing security product. I rarely walk away from a product demo and think “this is incredible”.

This was one of those moments.

‍

When a friend hipped me to Material Security early in their development it was heaven sent.

VP, Security & IT, DNAnexus

Congrats to @internet_meme and @material_sec team on their Series B. What an incredible customer list!

Congrats Ryan Noon  @christopherpark3  Abhishek AgrawalMaterial Security for your series C and your $1.1B valuation!

You guys are building something exciting and resetting the bar for what 'email security' is. Congratulations on the public launch Ryan Noon

So awesome to see @material_sec reach a $1.1B valuation! Have been a fan from the early days and can’t wait to see what they do next

Big congrats to @abhishek0918 @internet_meme and Chris! I was lucky to work with these folks at Dropbox a century ago -- the best! The best products give you security out of the box without you realizing it. That's what Material does for email.

(not even shilling an investment)

‍

”GTS has seen how important providing a new approach has been for our partners and customers. In a very short period of time, Material Security closes the gaps of legacy solutions while also integrating into what customers can leverage from each of those platforms natively.“

Material Security has an incredibly impressive customer list, and they're just getting started.

Congrats to Ryan Noon, Abhishek Agrawal and the Material Security team on their series B to keep email safe even in the worst case scenario: an attacker gets into your account. Their incredible customer list is a testament to the awesome product they are building!#security#cybersecurity

I can see @material_sec being referred to as the prime example of how you reduce blast radius in #infosec. It's the equivalent of battening the hatches and and tying down the sails for any company.

Congratulations on the public launch @internet_meme, @abhishek0918 & co.

“Anything is possible when Material meets google cloud functions. So pumped.”

Congratulations to the Material Security team. Ryan, Abhishek, and Chris had a vision of building a security product that solved a massive problem, in an easy and effective way. Testament that great products can still win-- in security.

Everyone in infosec knows it's rare to see a new product that is obviously a solution instead of a band-aid. Congrats to the @material_sec team for building one of those products.

It's been a really awesome force multiplier for us

congrats! I just got the demo and this is the most interesting security solution I have seen in years. Best of success with the unveiling.

‍

Huge kudos to @internet_meme, @abhishek0918 and the entire team .@material_sec on their fantastic Series B. As Ryan said at launch a year ago, email is going nowhere, & MaterialSec just made it an order of magnitude simple to extend Zero Trust to email.

One good thing to come out of the 2016 @johnpodesta hacks? @material_sec just launched inspired by what happened to him and stops attackers from stealing data even if they get in. Well done, team! The world needs more good guys.

Proud of @internet_meme, @abhishek0918, and the entire @material_sec team. First Round has long been a happy customer! And Roblox, Lyft, and DoorDash are good too :-)

While launching publicly today, @material_sec has spent the last year quietly signing up great customers with their modern approach to email and inbox security. Great product from a great team.
