More Control Over Google Drive
Drive file labeling - Label your files like a pro
You can now configure remediations to add, edit, or remove labels on files in Google Drive. It's like giving your files their very own wardrobe — organized and ready for action.
Permission updates — Less is more (granularity edition)
Control freaks, rejoice! Now you can set file permissions at a granular level. Instead of just slamming the door on access, you can now set users to "viewer" — like letting them peek through the keyhole, but not quite invite them in.
Improved Impersonation Detections
Netflix impersonation — Now with more suspicious links
We’ve beefed up our Netflix impersonation detection to catch even sneaky emails that don’t spoof display names but do trick you into clicking password reset links. Spoiler alert: They’re phishing. Don't stream that scam!
AWS impersonation — Precision like a scalpel
Our AWS impersonation detection just got an upgrade, with improved accuracy by promoting and excluding domains. It’s like having a bouncer at your security club, making sure only the legit crowd gets in.
DHL impersonation — No more false positives
We’ve fine-tuned the DHL impersonation detection, so no more mistakenly marking harmless emails as threats. Because when it comes to logistics, we know you’d rather avoid mix-ups — and so would we.
Mailgun impersonation — Time to clear the inbox
Mailgun impersonation detection now excludes reply emails and Mailgun subdomains found in the Message ID. Translation: fewer false alarms, more actual threats detected. Sounds like a win-win.
VIP impersonation — Keeping it fancy
We’ve updated VIP impersonation detection to spot alternate display names and flag messages with "[External]" in the subject. Because your CEO deserves a VIP treatment… without the phishing drama.
Signal & Reporting Updates
Message signals UI — For the data junkies
We've revamped the Message Signals UI to include category descriptions on the cards and subcategory details in the tooltip. Now you’ll know exactly what’s going on behind the scenes without breaking a sweat. More info, less confusion.
Detection report — We’ve got it all now
The Detection Report now includes every available category and subcategory in Material. It's like getting the full menu, not just the appetizers. Who doesn’t like options?
Export your search results — Because spreadsheets are your friend
You can now export file search results to a .csv. Yes, we know. You’ve been waiting for this. Go ahead and import those search results like the spreadsheet wizard you are.
More to come
And, of course, all of this comes along with the usual polish we’re continuing to put in to make our platform shine. This update also brings some fresh HTML updates to match our latest design standards and improve accessibility, along with some minor UI bug fixes and improvements.
Much, much more to come, so as we creep deeper into winter doldrums, keep checking back with Material for the latest and greatest in email and productivity suite security.
