How it works

Material makes actionable sense of raw and unstructured Google Workspace data and events, enabling advanced capabilities that would be near impossible to achieve otherwise

Email Security

Material is able to catch and stop sophisticated attacks that surface-level tools miss through an advanced detection engine that combines AI/ML, threat research, open-source libraries, Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), native alerts, and user reports.

Unified Detections

Broad insight across emails, files, user behavior, configurations, and more enables Material to surface vulnerabilities and indicators of compromise that other security platforms miss. With this added visibility and context, we’re able to more effectively prioritize issues and detections raised, ensuring the most critical vulnerabilities get the attention they need.

Automated Remediations

Material provides flexible and granular remediation options, including fully automated remediation workflows that enable immediate fixes whenever possible while in-depth context and integration with SIEM and SOAR platforms streamlines manual investigation and response when needed.

Multi-layered Detections

Material employs a unique and advanced detection engine that combines AI/ML, threat research, open-source libraries, Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), native alerts, and user reports to better thwart sophisticated attacks that surface-level tools miss.

Smart Data Classification

We continuously scan your historical mailboxes to find sensitive data based on a flexible set of classifiers for PII, PHI, financial data, and other kinds of regulated information – and you can define custom matching criteria for your organization’s classified information.

Resource-Level Controls

With our API-based integration with Microsoft 365, Material is capable of applying access controls on the message objects themselves that warrant protection based on email attacks, sensitive data classification, and suspicious user behaviors – with a seamless MFA workflow that won’t slow users down.

Avoid material impacts. Gain the ^{Material advantage}

Your productivity suite isn't just another application – it's critical infrastructure. We treat it as such, bringing a true force multiplier to your security team and risk management programs.

Accelerated defense-in-depth

Material is built to augment the native security tooling within Workspace. Our unique zero-trust approach to data security and identity protection combined with our unparalleled insight across Workspace eliminates potential security gaps that may arise from native and traditional security solutions.

Less worrisome vulnerabilities

Heightened security posture across Google Workspace effectively shrinks the attack surface, drastically lowering the chances of a successful attack. Material continuously surfaces and fixes vulnerable configurations and behaviors, ensuring your organization’s security resilience in the cloud.

Minimized breach impact

With severe financial and reputational damage constantly looming, security and risk management requires more in-depth coverage. Material is purpose-built to address gaps, protect sensitive data, surface issues, and simplify operations to ensure your Google Workspace environment is effectively secured.

Jae Ward

Corporate Security Analyst

“The first thing that grabbed me about Material was how cleanly it integrated with G Suite. The day we set it up, we were done in an hour and there weren’t any workflow disruptions.”

Vince Parras

Corporate Security & Audit, Carta

“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.”

Fredrick "Flee" Lee

CSO, Gusto

“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.”

Alex Bynum

Information Security Manager, Color

"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."

Nico Waisman

Former CISO, Lyft

"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."
