Material Security

Material Security is a cloud email and workspace security platform. Material's own pricing page, read directly, lists Essentials at $4 per user per month and Advanced at $6, both billed annually, plus a fee based on Shared Drive size. ATO Resilience is an add-on at $3 per user per month, or $5 per user per month as a standalone licence. Enterprise is custom-priced with discounts at scale and a Talk to Sales button. The FAQ says Material charges a minimum annual fee covering up to 1 TB of Shared Drive storage, without stating the amount, and that service accounts are included at no extra cost, with low-volume accounts billed at a reduced rate. A self-serve free trial is offered, along with a sales-led proof of concept.

On funding, the most recent round I found is the 2022 Series C, $100 million led by Founders Fund with Andreessen Horowitz and Elad Gil, at a $1.1 billion post-money valuation. Totals differ, from about $166 million to $184 million, and the company appears independent and VC-backed, with no acquisition news. Its recent focus is AI-driven and third-party app risk: AI-powered triage of user-reported phishing, and an automated agent that investigates and remediates OAuth grants. Customers reportedly include OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Figma, Reddit and Lyft. I found no 2026 funding or pricing announcements, and one source suggests the pricing page metadata is more than a year old, so confirm current rates.

Material suits Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 organisations wanting email, drive and identity-related protection. Compare Abnormal AI, Sublime Security and Mimecast. Browse the Cybersecurity tools directory for more.
