Material Security

About

At Material Security, the core mission revolves around safeguarding the fundamental digital materials that constitute a modern organization – the emails, documents, and accounts residing within cloud office suites like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Recognizing that traditional security measures often fall short in protecting these critical assets, Material has pioneered a platform designed to secure this infrastructure comprehensively: before, during, and after a security incident. The company's philosophy is rooted in building security solutions that are not only effective but also seamlessly integrate into existing workflows, thereby enabling productivity while ensuring peace of mind. This approach is driven by the understanding that fragmented point solutions are inadequate against the evolving threats and vulnerabilities targeting cloud workspaces. Material Security's culture emphasizes resilience and simplicity. They strive to deliver security that works intuitively, without unnecessary complexity or 'technobabble'. This commitment is reflected in their innovative use of APIs to integrate with cloud platforms, allowing for rapid deployment and robust protection. The company fosters an environment where employees are empowered to contribute to this mission, whether from their San Francisco headquarters, co-working spaces, or remote locations, reflecting a trust in their team to deliver their best work from their ideal environment. Backed by prominent investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund, Material Security protects some of the world's most dynamic and rapidly growing companies, including Figma, Mars, DoorDash, and Lyft. Their focus extends beyond merely blocking threats to providing deep visibility, automating responses, and empowering users, ultimately aiming to build an enduring, independent cybersecurity company that has a real impact on securing the critical digital infrastructure powering the modern world.
