Problem
Organizations face increasing threats from sophisticated phishing, malware, and account takeover attacks targeting email, which can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data and critical systems. Existing email security solutions often fail to provide comprehensive protection against these evolving threats, leaving organizations vulnerable to breaches and data loss.
Solution
Material Security provides a unified cloud workspace security platform for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, offering comprehensive protection for emails, files, and accounts. The platform leverages AI, behavioral analysis, and custom detections to automatically detect and remediate malicious emails, contain account takeovers, and prevent data exfiltration. By continuously syncing and enriching raw Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace content and events into a structured, historical data model, Material Security enables a heightened level of visibility, intelligence, and extensibility. The platform's architecture ensures that even if credentials are compromised, sensitive data remains protected through fine-grained access controls and continuous monitoring.
