Consolidate Security Tools for the Cloud Office

Material Security offers a unified platform that integrates and streamlines the functionalities of multiple cloud office security tools. By consolidating these services, Material provides a comprehensive approach to managing risks, responding to threats, and protecting sensitive data within Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Material delivers more than a single pane of glass: the platform eliminates security gaps, reduces tool sprawl, and enhances operational efficiency for security teams.‍

Problem: A fragmented view from point solutions

With such an incredible array of security tools to choose from, many organizations struggle with a fragmented collection of point solutions to secure their cloud office suites. This tool sprawl—spanning email security tools to data protection to user behavior analytics—creates significant challenges:

• Security gaps: Relying on point solutions leaves visibility gaps, as no single solution has the full context of user behavior, data sensitivity, and active threats. This leads to undetected threats and incomplete incident response.
• Operational inefficiency: Analysts must pivot between multiple consoles to investigate a single incident, manually correlating data and piecing together the full picture. This constant context-switching is time-consuming, repetitive, and slows down response times dramatically.
• High total cost of ownership (TCO): Managing licenses, maintenance, and training for numerous security products is expensive and complex–and the administrative overhead required to keep these tools integrated and functional creates additional hidden costs.
• Alert Fatigue: Each tool generates its own set of alerts, often without the context from other systems. This floods security teams with low-fidelity warnings, making it difficult to identify and prioritize genuine threats, allowing actual threats to lurk undetected beneath the noise.

Solution: Streamline security in one platform

Material Security provides a single, cohesive platform that leverages all the data and infrastructure already present in your cloud office suite to unify email security, identity threat protection, posture management, and data security. 

• Unified Risk Discovery and Triage: Material automatically analyzes your Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 environment to identify sensitive data, misconfigurations, and at-risk accounts without requiring complex integrations. 
• Streamlined Incident Response: When a threat is identified, Material provides the tools to investigate and remediate it from a single interface. For example, when analysts need to understand the impact of a user-reported phishing attempt,  Material groups all instances of the malicious message, identifies users who interacted with it, and offers remediations to contain any potential incident. For compromised accounts, Material can automatically lock down access to sensitive data, preventing lateral movement and data exfiltration.
• Proactive Data Protection: Material's unique approach allows organizations to protect sensitive content before an account is compromised. By requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) to view sensitive messages and files, Material ensures that even if an attacker bypasses primary login credentials, your most critical data remains secure. This capability eliminates the need for separate, often cumbersome, DLP solutions.

By consolidating these functions, Material eliminates the need for multiple point solutions, providing a more effective, efficient, and cost-effective way to secure your cloud office environment.
