Material + Snowflake

Protecting data at rest: A guide for security teams
Data loss prevention is a monumental task, and today’s outdated tools make it worse. We’ve written before about the limits of the “outside-in” approach to email security.

Identify Google Groups vulnerable to spam and spoofing
One often overlooked element when considering the security posture of an organization's email configuration is the surface area exposed by externally accessible mailing lists.
