There’s more than one way to compromise an email account. Attackers are getting better at hiding their presence, potentially remaining undetected for months. The level and depth of accessibility from a compromised email account reaches far across the enterprise, yet the typical controls are often no more than an authenticated user session—which can be hijacked or bypassed by sophisticated attackers.

Between stolen credentials, malicious OAuth applications, and MFA bypasses, there are many ways to compromise email accounts
The cloud operating model makes it challenging to distinguish account takeovers from normal business use
Email accounts are a fast way for attackers to gain access to a wide range of systems that result in costly data breaches

User Behavior Analysis

Our depth of visibility into your underlying email systems enables us to pinpoint misconfigurations and user behaviors that could indicate an account compromise such as mail forwarding rules, password reset attempts, or historical data retrieval.

Monitoring & Alerting

Numerous signals within Material can be used as a canary, alerting incident response teams to investigate – for example, because we apply step up authentication to sensitive emails, repetitive failed retrieval attempts are highly suggestive of a compromise.

Account Containment

Even within a compromised mailbox, Material prevents attackers from accessing sensitive data and disables the ability to reset passwords to downstream applications via email.

"Visibility is my number one driver for implementing Material. You can’t protect what you don’t know. Now, we have visibility, we can audit at any time, and we have the metrics. No more guessing that something is risky when we can quickly measure it."

"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.”
