EMAIL IDENTITY PROTECTION

Combat Shadow IT Scenarios

Leverage email behavior for visibility and control over application usage to apply consistent policy enforcement across the workforce

Tell us if you feel this

Unsanctioned applications quickly mushroom throughout your network, out of sight and out of control. Despite company policies that require formal procurement and SSO authentication, it’s near impossible to maintain adherence given how quick and easy it is for users to sign up for applications directly via email without your knowledge.

Trying to block apps across the workforce is a game of whack-a-mole between OAuth allow lists, network controls, and browser extensions.
Teams have varying levels of security awareness, leading to inconsistent application of IT policies.
Not all applications enable SSO or make it cost-ineffective, making it difficult to achieve total coverage.

The Material Difference

Material analyzes system generated emails from applications to infer usage across the workforce, and helps enforce consistent policies by directly controlling access to select account-related emails.

App Discovery

App Discovery

Material provides a list of third-party apps used at your organization and the accounts using them by detecting signup confirmations, password resets, and other automated messages.

Step Up Authentication

Step Up Authentication

Step Up Authentication For sanctioned applications that use email as the primary authentication mechanism, Material applies an added layer of authentication to verify the account owner.

App Blocking

App Blocking

For applications you do not want users signing up for, Material intercepts signup emails so users must go through proper channels for proper authorization.

"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."

"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."

“Material was simple to operate and trust even at our scale. There was no complex implementation and no disruption to go into production, and we had full access to our own cloud instance throughout. Within a couple of hours of deployment, we could analyze all the email data for all our domains across North America. It was remarkable.”
