Deep dives
Material Security's Founding Story
Material Security was founded in 2017 with the mission to enhance email security by addressing vulnerabilities highlighted during prominent election hacks. The founders, former Dropbox employees, leveraged their experience to create a toolkit for multi-layered detection and response in the email security domain.
Enhancing Email Security
Material Security's toolkit offers advanced features to detect and respond to malicious emails. They utilize AI and language models to decipher malicious intents in emails. The toolkit focuses on protecting the actual content inside emails, ensuring additional layers of authentication post-breach.
Tips for Better Email Security
For organizations aiming to bolster email security, starting with maximizing native email security controls is crucial. Audit and configure existing security measures provided by email service providers like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Consider supplementing these with API-based solutions for post-delivery monitoring. Furthermore, address gaps in email content security with additional controls.
Empowering Users with Verification
Material Security emphasizes a pragmatic approach to email security, empowering users with verification challenges for high-consequence email actions. By dynamically addressing the importance of email content and transaction risks, organizations can enhance security measures effectively.
