You’re caught in a bind with your email retention policies. On the one hand, you want to implement strict email retention policies to reduce your exposure. On the other hand, users want long-term access to old emails to stay productive. From a risk perspective, just one employee’s mailbox is a treasure trove of confidential data ripe for attackers—spread that out across the workforce, and you have an untenable data sprawl to wrangle.

Unstructured email data makes it hard to precisely identify PII, PCI, PHI, and other regulated data in messages and attachments.

Unprotected email is risky as the only native line of defense is an authenticated user session.

The Material Difference

Material enables data protection and safe retrieval at the message-level by applying an added layer of authentication to emails directly in the mailbox, removing the false choice between keeping the workforce productive and limiting the organization’s exposure.

Smart Data Classification

Material comes with dozens of built-in classifiers for sensitive data categories across financial, personal, health, and other categories, and you can also create custom labels. Specify which classifiers to enable and provide customized grace periods for locking and retrieving messages.

Message-level controls

Material performs a complete historical and ongoing sync and redacts the contents of emails that match enabled data classifiers. Sensitive messages are replaced with a stub that enables secure retrieval and the original contents are securely stored in a single-tenant cloud instance.

Seamless Data Retrieval

Redacted messages include a step up authentication link, which leverages your identity provider of choice. On valid retrieval, the original message is replaced in the mailbox according to the grace period duration time. Retrievals can also be performed in bulk by admins via message search, force unlocking all messages according to select criteria.

“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.”

"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."
