Case Study: Mars accelerates incident response and gains email visibility with Material Security

Mars Forges New Visibility and Incident Response at Massive Scale

Mars, the global consumer company with more than 125,000 associates, needed better visibility and faster incident response across a large, distributed email environment spanning Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace. The team struggled to search across platforms and domains, manage risk at scale, and assess newly acquired businesses without creating added security complexity. Material Security helped Mars address these challenges with its email security and risk analytics platform.

Material Security was deployed quickly, with no disruptive implementation, and gave Mars a single pane of glass across its email estate, along with granular role-based access and immutable audit logging. The team used Material Security to find risky settings, policy violations, sensitive content, legacy protocols, forwarding rules, and suspicious messages, cutting search time from hours to about 20 seconds and enabling analysis of nearly 20,000 mailboxes within hours of deployment.
