Mimecast Aware vs. Material Security

Aware is Mimecast's governance and compliance solution for collaboration platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom. It gives IT, security, legal, and compliance teams full visibility into collaboration data in one place, plus custom detection rules that catch sensitive data sharing and policy violations as they happen. When something gets flagged, Aware surfaces the full context, surrounding messages, files, and edits, so teams understand intent fast, with AI-powered summaries to speed up investigations.

Material is the cloud workspace security platform for lean security teams that need to protect the email, data, and identities that live in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Material streamlines SecOps by unifying detections and automating remediations across your cloud workspace in one platform that gives you unprecedented visibility and control. Material stops sophisticated attacks, secures sensitive data in files and mailboxes, detects and contains account takeovers, and reduces risk across your environment. Your cloud workspace isn’t just another app.
