Material Security

Material Security builds a detection and response platform designed specifically for cloud workspaces. Its software secures Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 environments, covering email, identity and data threat detection and response. The company was founded in the wake of the 2016 hacks that changed history, and its customers include Reddit, DoorDash, Lyft, Figma, Gusto, Amplitude and HackerOne.

The platform is organised around four products. Email Security automatically detects and remediates malicious emails within cloud workspaces. File Security protects sensitive content by cleaning up sharing permissions. Account Security hardens cloud workspace accounts and detects risky behaviour. Posture Management monitors and remediates configuration drift across the workspace estate.

Technical work spans cloud workspace security, email security, data loss prevention, identity threat detection and response, data security, cloud security posture management, threat detection and remediation, and account security. The company operates a remote-first culture built around trust, flexibility, autonomy and collaboration.
