We have talked a lot about security. One of the biggest challenge is not knowing where the next attack is going to come from, and the list of vulnerabilities changes every day. Today we are going to talk with a company that is looking to help you understand what your attack surface looks like.
Security threats are growing every day. Protecting the crown jewels of an organization is a challenge. Historically, we have protected the perimeter.

Today we are talking with SentinelOne. Their product faired better than most against the SolarWinds attack. To quote their site, “SentinelLabs, the research division of SentinelOne, has confirmed that devices with SentinelOne agents deployed were excluded from the SUNBURST attack from an early stage, even before any communication with a malicious C2. Technical analysis confirmed that SUNBURST was unable to disable or bypass SentinelOne in any environment.” I’ll let that sink in for a second.
