SentinelOne is a venture-backed startup located in Mountain View, California that develops software to secure endpoint devices against targeted attacks and provides forensics to understand the nature of such attacks. The company’s technology uses predictive execution inspection to detect and protect devices against targeted Zero-day attacks in real time.
History
SentinelOne was founded in 2013 by security veterans from Intel, McAfee, Checkpoint, IBM and the Israel Defense Forces and financed with venture funding. The company has raised $14.5M in two rounds of venture funding that occurred in 2013 and 2014. The rounds raised $2.5M and $12M from venture capital firms including Accel Partners, Data Collective, Granite Hill Capital Partners, Tiger Global Management, UpWest Labs, and the Westly Group. [1] [2] [3] The company claims to have a number of customer wins with a malware detection rate of over 90% for zero day threats.[4]
The company was named one of “The 10 Coolest Security Startups Of 2014” by CRN. [5]
The company’s endpoint protection technology has been spurred by a number of industry trends including more sophisticated malware threats targeting endpoint devices and the inadequacy of static, signature-based anti-malware approaches for protecting endpoint devices.
Technology
SentinelOne’s focus is securing endpoint devices against new threats. The company uses predictive execution inspection to monitor endpoints to detect unknown threats along with real-time forensics to deliver investigative capabilities equivalent to “sandboxing” during attacks. The technology is designed to fully automate remediation and remove discovered threats. [6] [7]
Products
The SentinelOne Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is the name of the SentinelOne product offering. The software product supports a variety of operating system environments including Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS. The company positions its product as supplementing existing anti-virus technology. [8]
