MATERIAL FOR GOOGLE WORKSPACE

Detection and response across Gmail, Drive, and accounts

Google Workspace is critical infrastructure for modern organizations and also the top target for attackers. Material provides a unified security platform that protects Gmail, Google Drive, identity, and configuration, while delivering continuous visibility into your security posture.

Get proactive about Google Workspace security

Google Workspace accounts are valuable targets for attackers. When successful, these attacks can:

  • Compromise business-critical information in Drive & Gmail
  • Lead to lateral movement across other applications
  • Serve as a vector to effectively launch further attacks


Material combines the features you need to prevent attacks and build resiliency, automatically identifying and fixing issues across email, files, and accounts.

Why choose Material for Google Workspace security

Google Expertise

Google Workspace is a first-class focus for Material. Unlike other vendors where Google Workspace parity is always lagging, Material designs its roadmap to align with the specific needs of Google’s unique environment.

Automate, don’t just alert

Traditional security tools are task-makers, transforming alerts into tickets and to-dos for security and IT teams. Out of the box, Material will apply core detections across email, documents, and communications in Google Workspace and take steps necessary to close security gaps.

Your roadmap, one platform

Where other security solutions cover one aspect of risk, Material checks off multiple aspects of Workspace security in a single platform. You don’t have to choose between inbound phishing detection, data loss prevention (DLP), and posture management tools–it’s all covered within the Material platform.
