Partnership Accelerates Market Transition Away From Legacy Antivirus to Bring Endpoint Security Into 21st Century
SINGAPORE, May 15, 2017 – SentinelOne, the company that’s transforming endpoint security by delivering real-time protection powered by machine learning and intelligent automation, is today announcing its expansion into APAC through a strategic partnership with leading security distributor Exclusive Networks. SentinelOne and Exclusive Networks will partner to initially bring Next-Generation Endpoint Protection to the APAC region.
The companies’ joint mission is to replace the ‘Old Guard’ of legacy antivirus software and provide organizations in these markets with a unique, standalone approach to endpoint security that combines behavioral-based detection of both known and unknown threats, with automated mitigation and forensic tools to defeat attacks that employ a combination of advanced techniques within malware, exploits, or insecure scripts.
Barrie Desmond, COO at Exclusive Group adds, “Every so often there is a cybersecurity technology that takes a wrecking ball to established, and some may say complacent, markets by jumping to a new innovation curve and addressing unfulfilled customer needs that leave competitors behind.” He adds, “SentinelOne is doing away with the antivirus status quo by simplifying endpoint security in a unique way and making it truly fit-for-purpose in the ongoing battle against advanced threats and zero day attacks. Traditional antivirus products are continuing to fail millions of enterprise customers. We’re thrilled to be partnering with a true innovator that is positioned to disrupt a market that has fallen asleep at the wheel.”
SentinelOne’s Next-Generation Endpoint Protection technology has earned praise from multiple directions; with industry analyst firm Gartner recently nominating them as a ‘Visionary’ vendor in the latest Endpoint Protection Platform Magic Quadrant. Their technology and vision has already earned them $40 million of VC funding and ringing endorsements from companies like Netflix, who have replaced their entire installed base of legacy endpoints with SentinelOne solutions.
