I mainly focus on endpoint security. Customers often ask me about solutions to detect malware threats, and SentinelOne is one of the options I recommend. The main focus is detecting malware threats on endpoints.

The solution is agent-based, so it's on service, and it's a cloud solution. We are using its API capabilities for our server for protecting us from cyber security threats and attacks.

The most important feature is the roll-back feature because when any system is corrupted, we can easily restore it within a few seconds. Also, if an end-user is not connected to your network, they can communicate with the central manager. We can be notified of any end-user activity with a central dashboard. The solution is also a very lightweight agent model compared to other solutions like Sophos, Carbon Black and the app action from X-microsite product. SentinelOne does not use the RAM SCP installation for the agent, and the user interface is also straightforward.

We're a partner of SentinelOne, but we're also a partner of many other companies. We're not a vendor per se. We sell SOC as a service, and as a part of that service, we provide protection solutions. My area is around antivirus. So, we are not a reseller in that sense. I am using its latest version. It can be deployed on-prem as well as on the cloud. I have customers with a requirement for both. SentinelOne provides their own cloud because that's where they do their artificial intelligence (AI).

We primarily use the solution for security. It’s for endpoint and response detection. It is primarily protecting all my servers now, and most of the end users are connected to SharePoint OneDrive and emails, which are already taken care of from Microsoft through endpoint security. I don't have to really worry too much from the end-user point of view. Still, in case if they ever happen to click on any of the phishing emails or malicious files, it will block their computer immediately without even coming through the server level.

In comparison to CrowdStrike, they use a lot of ICANN fees in the UI. But this isn't a problem for me because I am already familiar with CrowdStrike's interface and navigation panel. I still don't use the hamburger mini version of CrowdStrike because I am used to the old panels. The rollback issue isn't marketed by CrowdStrike. I'm certain of it. We can, however, do it indirectly. If you want to do rollback in craft with RTR over Windows shadow copies, there is a workaround. This is an argument I occasionally use against SentinelOne. If you use rollback, your system has already been infected. CrowdStrike claims, that they don't do this, they are not a backup solution, and they don't allow any ransomware to work in their systems. By the way, rollback is a plus in the eyes of customers. If CrowdStrike can do it with a single click, it will be a great turn of events.

Sentinel One protects our endpoints from malware, viruses, trojans, and other cyber attacks. We outsource the management of Sentinel One to another organization. They monitor for infections at any endpoint on the console and work to determine if it's a false positive or an actual attack. Most of the time, Sentinel One can automatically identify an attack, and it quarantines the process to block the attack. If Sentinel One can't make that determination on its own, the third-party team will further investigate the suspicious traffic.

We use SentinelOne to secure our entire environment, including all user endpoints and servers. We are also currently testing the Deep Visibility addon. We were using a definition-based AV prior to SentinelOne, and we were getting daily/weekly infections of a variety of malware. We are a mix of PC, Mac, and Linux. We have on-premises machines and servers, as well as cloud VMs that we were wanting to protect. We wanted to purchase a Next Generation AV client that would be algorithm-based instead of definition file-based.

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients. Sentinel One is being deployed as a replacement for any antivirus solution. In our case, we use it to primarily prevent ransomware and other malware from entering networks or computers, as they're deployed across the entire world now, in this new post-COVID environment. We no longer have the luxury of the corporate firewall protecting everyone equally. This means that having SentinelOne on each box is providing a solution where we stop the badness before it can spread. This is a cloud-based platform that we use in every capacity you can imagine. We use it on cloud components in both Azure and Amazon.

The product is used to provide cybersecurity protection to SMBs predominantly in the financial, manufacturing, and retail industry as well as private individuals. SentinelOne is key in achieving compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act in South Africa. Resolving ransomware encrypted servers or personal computers is costly to the customer, both in repair costs and loss of business due to downtime. In addition, the customer may suffer reputational damage if any of its customer data is compromised.

There are four use cases: * Endpoint visibility. * Endpoint protection, which includes detection, protection, and error response. We use this for protection endpoints as well. * Provides historical loss of any events or changes in files that may have happened in the last 90 days. * Threat hunting, which we use to troubleshoot applications. There are different versions. The SaaS portal has a different version. The agents for each operating system have a different version. For the SaaS platform, we are on the current release. For the agents, we are one behind the current GA release.

We have the solution deployed on-premises and, for the last year, on the cloud as well. We have two systems. Over the last year of Corona, we provided a lot of laptops to our workers to work at home. But because they're not connected, at first, to our network, they can't connect to the SentinelOne instance on-premises. We wanted something that would protect them when they're on the internet, and not only after they connected to our network. That is why we got the system that is in the cloud, to protect all the company laptops. We don't have a lot of incidents because ours is a very closed network. We don't connect directly to the internet. So SentinelOne is only a barrier between us and the emails or between us and the files that go into our network.

SentinelOne performs primary functions for our endpoint antivirus and anti-malware solutions. It's a centralized managed version of an antivirus product that gives real-time information on any kind of threat we might receive. It's very broad. It not only protects through signature defense, which is like what most common antivirus products do, but it also does behavioral which has been absolutely lifesaving here a couple of times. It has saved our bacon more than once by detecting threats. It even detects zero-day threats because it detects them through their behavior. It doesn't need a signature. It actually keeps me busy with this and the insight into the agents that are installed. Our level of protection around here has never been this high. By comparison, we're also running Windows Defender, which comes with Windows 10 operating systems. We collect that data through our SCCM and SentinelOne finds threats that are at a rate of 25:1 to 30:1. It's not even close. SentinelOne has made a tremendous difference in our ability to protect our endpoints and servers.
