Material offers a solution for protecting sensitive data in Google Drive, balancing security needs with collaboration. Its platform automates the discovery and classification of sensitive files, providing a clear inventory of critical assets and their sharing permissions. This automation allows organizations to maintain visibility and control over their data. The system proactively addresses potential data exposure risks by identifying improper sharing behaviors. It works with file owners to either correct these issues or justify the sharing before taking action to close security gaps. This approach keeps sensitive information secure while allowing users to collaborate effectively. Material also enhances data governance by integrating with Google’s native labeling tools, ensuring consistent policy application across the cloud workspace. It monitors file sharing and user activity, detecting suspicious behaviors to mitigate insider threats and potential compromises. Features extend to email and account security, automatically identifying and addressing malicious emails and account takeover attempts, ensuring comprehensive protection across different aspects of cloud security.
