Case Study: Alto strengthens email security and reduces ATO risk with Material Security

Protecting against ATO scenarios at Alto

Alto, a finance company, faced the challenge of protecting sensitive customer and financial data from sophisticated email attacks and account takeovers (ATOs). Their lean security team needed a more effective way to secure their Google Workspace environment without the operational burden of their previous legacy Secure Email Gateway.

By implementing Material Security, Alto gained a plug-and-play solution that enhanced their defense. Material Security provided data redaction for sensitive emails, requiring step-up MFA authentication for access, and improved detection of threats like BEC and phishing. This dramatically reduced the impact of ATOs, strengthened their data loss prevention, and increased their team's efficiency by minimizing time spent on triage and investigation.
