Your First 30 Days

Essentials and Advanced

Material Workflow

Before you begin, let's take a look at the Material workflow so you have context for what custom choices you should make in the first 30 days. You can deploy as quickly as you need to; we recommend you complete guides 1 to 9 (on the left) within 30 days.

Some terms to know:

Detection

A detection in Material identifies potentially malicious content.

Issue

Issues represent problems identified in your environment. Specifically, they are created when detection logic matches an entity in your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 environment.

Issues classification indicates if the entities involved are:

• Malicious
• Safe
• Spam

Response

Responses are the actions (remediations) taken on entities to limit impact. Some response types are email notifications, permission updates, revoking user sessions, adding a speedbump etc.

You can configure default responses based on the classification type or manually add responses in issues as needed.

Tenant

Tenants are email tenants, either Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. These are synced to Material so it can ingest and detect potential issues.
