Case Study: Amplitude builds a security culture and stops phishing attacks with Material Security

How Amplitude created a culture of security superheroes

Amplitude, an IT and software company that grew rapidly after going public in 2021, needed a better way to defend against increasingly sophisticated phishing and email attacks. The security team was under constant pressure to triage reports quickly and protect a growing employee inbox footprint, especially after past incidents showed how damaging a highly convincing phishing campaign could be.

Material Security helped Amplitude automate user-reported phishing response with its phishing security platform. When an employee reports a suspicious message, Material groups similar emails across the company and applies immediate remediation such as defanging links and attachments, adding warnings, or quarantining access until review. The result was faster protection for the whole organization, better employee awareness through built-in training opportunities, and a more engaged security culture where one report can immediately help defend every inbox.
