What is Endpoint Security by SentinelOne?

Endpoint Security by SentinelOne helps protect organisations against ransomware and other malware. A straight-up replacement for legacy antivirus solutions, it employs innovative behaviour monitoring to understand what content and data traffic actually does on a company’s endpoints and servers. With SentinelOne’s powerful behavioural AI, the solution offers a much more robust foundation for a modern security perimeter compared to more traditional security products. 

Your benefits with SentinelOne

  • Unlike traditional antivirus solutions that rely heavily on hashes and signatures, i.e. lists of pre-defined security risks, SentinelOne monitors the behaviour of devices to determine the right action.
  • SentinelOne eliminates the risk of zero-day attacks, which are unknown threats that can easily go undetected with a signature-based approach.
  • SentinelOne requires just 2% of CPU performance, meaning users won’t even notice when it performs a scan. That’s why it’s also ideal for use on virtual machines (VDI, Citrix, terminal servers, etc.).
  • SentinelOne offers a unique rewind for ransomware. If a device is infected while using SentinelOne, it can be restored to its previous healthy state with a single click.
  • The ability to instantly restore corrupted files and encrypted data enables IT staff to get affected users back up and running from a remote console and in no time at all. This makes SentinelOne far superior compared to other solutions that require a complete reset of a compromised device and don’t mitigate the risk of the infection spreading.
  • SentinelOne offers insights into the phases of an attack or attempted breach as a Storyline that helps ICT managers understand the cause and origin of the threat and which parts and systems of their IT landscape have been targeted. In addition, the collected information is also valuable for management, accounting, insurers and external ICT specialists. 
  • SentinelOne does not rely on an internet connection to protect devices, meaning they are also protected against offline threats such as a local infection through a compromised USB stick.
  • SentinelOne offers comprehensive integration with third-party security solutions such as Clearpass NAC and Fortinet Security.
Why endpoint security is not optional

Every organisation has some kind of endpoint protection in place. However, traditional antivirus solutions rely on outdated technology that is no match for today’s cybercriminals, and products from the likes of McAfee, Kaspersky and Symantec are no exception. In today’s environment, organisations deal with security risks and the consequential damages every day, and while thorough contingency planning is essential, robust endpoint security based on technology that can effectively counter modern threats is key.

Common misconceptions about endpoint security

Endpoint security is clouded by no small number of misconceptions. Let’s debunk some of them.

  • “I have an antivirus solution so my environment’s safe.” – An antivirus solution is no longer sufficient to protect an IT environment. Your solution likely relies on hash and signature lists, which are no match for modern threats. Take an hour for a demo of SentinelOne and explore some its unique features. 
  • “We own Microsoft E5 licences which come with free ATP (Advanced Threat Protection).” – ATP only offers limited functionality compared to SentinelOne, which adds comprehensive features such as one-click rollback to undo an infection, storyline insights, and AI-powered behavioural analytics.
  • “I still have a year left on my current endpoint security solution.” – We can arrange a demo and evaluation to see if switching to SentinelOne now is a good fit for your organisation. For example, you may be able to trade in your current licence, providing an opportunity to significantly enhance your security with an attractive financial benefit. 
Does your organisation have an endpoint security solution?

  • Does your company use its endpoint security solution effectively? 
  • Does your current solution have more than twelve months remaining?
  • Assume your endpoints are the target of ransomware and your files become encrypted, would you be able to decrypt them and get employees back up and running in a matter of minutes?
  • Does your current endpoint security solution offer transparency into the applications running on individual devices? Can you proactively detect vulnerabilities that exist in your IT landscape?

If you have to answer any one of these questions with “NO”, you should take action now. Your endpoint security either has serious gaps or there’s significant room to optimise its configuration. With cyberattacks happening every day, this is not an issue to be taken lightly. Request a demo now or get in touch if you’d like to learn more.
