All Use Cases

Material brings together data from multiple Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 and unifies it into a single warehouse, dramatically reducing the time spent searching for evidence during incidents and internal investigations.

Problem: Native tools slow search to a crawl

When a security incident happens or an internal investigation kicks off, companies must get a thorough view of relevant email, files, and communications. The clock starts ticking for security, legal, and HR teams who must respond to these issues, but native features don’t make it easy to collect and review this information.

  • Native tooling is cumbersome: The native features teams use for investigations, like Microsoft Purview, require complex logic and search is often painfully slow to return results.
  • Search is isolated to a single tenant: If your company has multiple Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace tenants, you can’t perform a unified search across these environments. You’re stuck searching instance by instance, again and again.
  • Not all signals are exposed: While cloud workspace platforms collect a rich set of signals, events, and data, not all of them are included in native search tooling. This means that investigators and analysts don’t have the granularity they need to craft precise searches.

Solution: Material provides fast, comprehensive search capabilities

Material is built to simplify and speed up the search process so investigations move quickly. Whether it’s a threat hunter looking for evidence of an incident or an IT pro pulling together data for an HR or legal investigation, Material makes it easy to pinpoint what’s needed.

  • Precise results, fast: The platform returns results so quickly that searches that used to take hours now take seconds. A streamlined interface and intuitive layout make search a breeze.
  • Search across instances: Material brings together multiple cloud workspaces into one console so investigators can perform comprehensive searches.
  • Deeper search capabilities: With Material, you can search on signals that would otherwise be hidden in native tools. Get precise control over results, and easily see message content, headers, and similar emails.
hear from our customers

"Material accelerated our incident response and investigations. Previously, we couldn’t search for messages across platforms and domains. Search took hours to respond and was difficult to navigate. With Material, searching for suspicious messages is so straightforward and easy—it takes 20 seconds; not hours. It previews everything right there, with ability to hunt, peck and pivot right at your fingertips."
