Case Study: Quora streamlines phishing protection and boosts employee awareness with Material Security

Quora cuts phishing investigation time and protects the whole company with Material Security

Quora, a knowledge-sharing platform, faced a challenge in protecting its cloud workspace from phishing attacks. Their lean IT team, led by Head of IT Robert Santos, was burdened by siloed security tools and a highly manual process for investigating user-reported phishing attempts, which drained efficiency and made company-wide protection difficult.

By implementing Material Security's integrated phishing protection, Quora automated its response to threats. The solution's key feature allows the IT team to apply a "speed bump" remediation to suspicious emails, warning employees without blocking delivery. Material Security's similarity matching automatically groups duplicate reports, transforming a single user's alert into immediate company-wide protection. This eliminated duplicate investigative efforts, drastically reduced manual work for the IT team, and created a more efficient and educational security process for all employees.
