Alex Henderson

Hi, my name is Alex Henderson. I’m the Needham, security and networking analyst. It’s a distinct pleasure to have SentinelOne at our conference this year. We have a couple of guys from the company to talk in a fireside chat. Before we jump into it, let me remind you that you have a question-and-answer dialog box. And if you have a question that you want to ask, please do not hesitate. The more interactive it is with the audience, the better. And, I’ll pass that along to management, as I see him come in. So welcome, guys.

Tomer Weingarten

Thanks Alex.

Question-and-Answer Session

Alex Henderson

So, you guys had an announcement this morning, right?

Tomer Weingarten

Yes.

Alex Henderson

And you want to tell us what it was?

Tomer Weingarten

Yes. We’re partnering more deeply with ServiceNow. To us, we’ve released quite a few modules in our platform that speak more and more to endpoint management. And really allowing folks to use our platform is a complete fleet control mechanism, something that allows them more capabilities, even beyond just classic security and protection. And ServiceNow, again, one of the biggest, I guess, IT management firms out there today, now, everybody that’s using them can natively integrate into the SentinelOne platform and use that for quick management, remediation, threat, credit alerts and resolution, so and all again, just a great extension to the platform.

Alex Henderson

What are the most interesting hacks that are vulnerabilities that’s happened in a long time? There’s another news item that’s out there, which is the log4J stuff. How have you guys been able to respond to that vulnerability and potential risk to keep to your customers? Have you been able to control it?

Tomer Weingarten

Yes, to the extent that vendor like us can I mean, log4J exists in different stacks than the one that we are typically in charge of. We are more around machine…

Ransomware protection guarantee is offered by SentinelOne

/in

SentinelOne is offering a to pay customers $ 1,000 per endpoint for customers’ machines that get infected by ransomware if its products don’t either block or remediate the problem.

The deal is for customers who use the company’s Endpoint Protection Platform in a mandatory configuration running on computers with fully patched operating systems and applications, and that have volume shadow copy service enabled, the Microsoft service that backs up files in use.

Customers must also be quick to respond to alerts about infections by adding threats to a blacklist and to remediate and rollback within an hour.

The $ 1,000 per machine offer only applies to payment of ransom, not for costs related to the disruptions ransomware causes. SentinelOne also won’t pay if the ransom doesn’t lead to successful recovery of the encrypted data.
