We started Material after the 2016 hacks changed history and showed everyone everywhere the importance and fragility of our private data. We think it takes at least as much creativity to protect a technology as it does to invent it. We know that usable security means making people safe and productive. We believe in common sense and not silver bullets, snake oil, or “next generation” technobabble. Our goal is resilience, and we build security that works (and works simply). We’ve partnered closely with the world’s best organizations to protect their employees and the ordinary people that depend on them. We work incredibly hard because keeping people safe and helping them collaborate is the best job in the world.
