Assets

SentinelOne Singularity Platform – prevent, detect, and undo – known and unknown – threats
Static artificial intelligence engine provides pre-execution protection (no need for recurrent signature scans)
Behavioural artificial intelligence engines track all processes, and interrelationships. Response to malicious behaviour is real time/automatic
Automated endpoint detection and response provides forensic data allowing for the mitigation of threats automatically, isolate, and auto-immunize endpoints against new threats
Single holistic agent that is lightweight and high performance – autonomous and real-time
Highly trained cybersecurity personnel (SentinelOne Vigilance – accelerated time to protection, forensics and threat hunting, and augment your security team)

Processes

Embeds Artificial Intelligence in every endpoint in a company’s network – including phones, laptops and connected Internet of Things devices
Differentiates from cloud based services in that their artificial intelligence techniques continually look for unusual behaviour based on historic use patters to detect threats
Meets various industry standards (such as HIPAA and PCI-DSS)
Product can serve as a platform or as an integrator – as of writing, has 15 integrations including Splunk and Fortinet.
Scalable cloud and on-premiss management, offline support and robust API
Ransomware warranty

Priorities

Continually improving artificial intelligence to help companies automate and strengthen their defences
Hiring for development, marketing and sales
Innovation driven – reimagining cybersecurity for the threats of tomorrow using behaviour and artificial intelligence. Focus on architecture, infrastructure and usability

Develop and sell products that address a problem, job to be done or a need that is widespread, growing, important, urgent, and manifests itself in diverse ways
Use scientific and technological advances to develop innovative offers
To defend against automated cybersecurity campaigns, apply automated detection, response and remediation
Combine company resources with those of other resource owners to create value that cannot be created by your company alone
Maintain close relationships with resource owners that advance the core technology underpinning the most important assets of the company
Orchestrate a community comprised of the owners of the resources required to scale
Strengthen cybersecurity attributes of offers compared to competitors
Apply processes that continuously improve the cybersecurity of the company as well as its offers, channels and resources
Operate a platform that is simple to use, attracts a very large market, and enables the company to control the quality of the offers traded on the platform
Simplify the complementarity of the company product and services
Apply digital technology to brand, market, sell and service customers more cost effectively than competitors
Enhance cybersecurity automation by using big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence
