The Challenge
Stolen OAuth tokens can bypass MFA and traditional login controls, giving attackers persistent API access to quietly map your workspace, scrape sensitive data, and exfiltrate files.
Our Solution
Material continuously monitors OAuth app behavior for signs of compromise and automatically revokes high-risk tokens in real time, stopping persistent access before sensitive data leaves the workspace.

“Material is great because it provides us visibility and technical enforcement together. We set written policies at the top level, and Material provides us the technical capability to reinforce those written policies in practice.”

The Challenge
The visibility gap in OAuth attacks
Most security tools treat a valid OAuth token as a permanent green light. If an application is verified by Google and authorized by a user, native logs and legacy SSPMs rarely give it a second look. This creates a massive blind spot where an attacker can use a legitimate-looking app to quietly map your directory, scrape sensitive Gmail threads, or exfiltrate files from Google Drive.
Unusual-location alerts are not triggered Because these actions happen via API rather than a traditional login, they don’t trigger "unusual location" alerts or MFA prompts. By the time a manual audit catches the anomaly, the data is already gone. You aren't dealing with a login problem; you're dealing with a persistent machine identity that has gone rogue.
Our Solution
AI for active behavioral defense of the cloud workspace
Material’s OAuth Apps AI Agent moves beyond static "allow lists" and post-compromise summaries to monitor what your integrated apps are actually doing in real-time. The agent then stops critical threats instantly or flags when mission-critical OAuth apps appear to be compromised so a human can step in and review. Material provides the active defense layer that ensures a stolen token doesn't turn into a catastrophic breach.
- Baseline and detect Material understands the standard operating patterns of your workspace. If a "Project Management" tool suddenly starts using User-Agent strings associated with reconnaissance tools like Trufflehog or starts listing thousands of messages without reading them, Material flags the behavior instantly.
- Real-time revocation The platform doesn’t just report on the problem; it solves it. Material can programmatically revoke OAuth tokens the moment a high-risk behavioral threshold is crossed, severing the attacker's persistence in seconds.
- Infrastructure-level context Unlike email-only security tools, Material integrates directly with Google Workspace event streams. Material sees the schema-dumping and bulk-enumeration tactics that happen after the click, giving you a bodyguard inside the workspace rather than just a bouncer at the door.
