SentinelOne
A cybersecurity company whose AI-driven platform protects endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and other enterprise environments.
Last updated August 31, 2026
Overview
SentinelOne, Inc. is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Mountain View, California, with roots in Israel and operations serving customers internationally. Founded in 2013 by Tomer Weingarten, Almog Cohen, and Ehud “Udi” Shamir, the company developed around the idea that endpoint security should be able to identify and contain malicious behavior with a high degree of automation rather than depend exclusively on analysts responding manually to alerts. Its technology applies machine learning, behavioral analysis, and a patented behavioral-artificial-intelligence approach to monitoring and responding to activity across personal computers, enterprise endpoints, Internet of Things devices, cloud workloads, and related infrastructure. The company’s principal commercial offering is the Singularity Platform. It combines endpoint protection and endpoint detection and response with broader extended detection and response capabilities. In practical terms, the platform is intended to prevent threats, detect suspicious activity, investigate incidents, and support automated or analyst-directed remediation. SentinelOne has positioned this integrated approach as a way for organizations to consolidate security telemetry and response functions across endpoint, cloud, identity, and other environments. The company emphasizes autonomous protection and AI-assisted security operations as differentiators in a market that includes larger endpoint-security and platform vendors. SentinelOne expanded its capabilities through acquisitions. In 2021 it acquired Scalyr, a cloud-scale data analytics company, adding technology relevant to security data collection and analysis. In 2022 it acquired Attivo Networks, whose identity detection and response technology broadened SentinelOne’s coverage of identity-related threats. The company later acquired Krebs Stamos Group, a cybersecurity advisory firm founded by Chris Krebs and Alex Stamos, and relaunched the business as PinnacleOne Strategic Advisory Group. It also agreed to acquire PingSafe, a cloud security company, and announced proposed or completed transactions involving Prompt Security and Observo AI in 2025, subject to the status and conditions described in the relevant announcements. SentinelOne’s growth was funded through successive private financing rounds before it became a public company. A Series D round in 2019 and a Series E round in 2020 were followed by additional financing that increased the company’s reported valuation. On June 30, 2021, SentinelOne completed an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol S. The listing gave the company access to public capital while making its financial performance and operating results subject to public-company reporting requirements. The company maintains offices in Mountain View, Boston, Prague, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv, according to the referenced encyclopedia material. It serves enterprise and other organizational customers across international markets. Its stated technology scope extends beyond conventional laptops and servers to include cloud workloads, IoT devices, identity environments, and security operations data. SentinelOne has also received AV-TEST certification for relevant security products. Its long-term strategic direction has increasingly connected endpoint protection with data analytics, cloud security, identity protection, advisory services, and AI-security controls.
History
SentinelOne was established in 2013 by Tomer Weingarten, Almog Cohen, and Ehud “Udi” Shamir. The company entered the cybersecurity market during a period when conventional signature-based endpoint defenses were increasingly challenged by rapidly changing malware, fileless attacks, and attacks that exploited legitimate administrative tools. SentinelOne’s product concept centered on behavioral analysis and machine learning, with the goal of allowing software to identify malicious patterns and take protective action automatically. The company’s platform was designed to monitor a broad set of computing environments, including personal computers, enterprise endpoints, IoT devices, and cloud workloads. Its behavioral-AI approach became a central part of the company’s differentiation. Rather than treating endpoint protection as only a database of known malicious files, SentinelOne presented its technology as capable of assessing behavior and coordinating prevention, detection, investigation, and remediation. The platform subsequently developed into the Singularity Platform, an umbrella offering associated with endpoint protection, EDR, XDR, cloud security, identity security, and security operations. SentinelOne financed its expansion through major private rounds. In June 2019, Insight Partners led a reported $120 million Series D round. In February 2020, the company raised a further $200 million in Series E financing, with the round placing its reported valuation at approximately $1.1 billion. Later in 2020, another financing event brought total funding and reported valuation figures higher. These rounds supported the company’s efforts to compete in the enterprise security market and expand its product and engineering footprint. Acquisitions became an important element of the company’s product strategy. In February 2021, SentinelOne announced the purchase of Scalyr for $155 million in cash and equity. Scalyr’s cloud-scale data analytics capabilities were relevant to the collection, processing, and analysis of security information. On June 30, 2021, SentinelOne completed its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, raising approximately $1.2 billion and adopting the ticker symbol S. The public listing marked a major transition from venture-backed growth to public-company operation. In 2022, SentinelOne announced the acquisition of Attivo Networks for $616.5 million in cash and equity. Attivo’s identity detection and response technology broadened SentinelOne’s security coverage beyond endpoints and toward identity-centric attack paths. The company also maintained a visible brand presence through its cybersecurity sponsorship of the Aston Martin Formula One team, which began in 2021. SentinelOne continued to broaden its scope in the following years. In 2023 it acquired Krebs Stamos Group, a boutique cybersecurity consultancy founded by former CISA Director Chris Krebs and former Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos. The business was relaunched as PinnacleOne Strategic Advisory Group, adding strategic advisory capabilities to SentinelOne’s technology portfolio. In 2024, SentinelOne agreed to acquire PingSafe, extending its cloud-security capabilities. In 2025, the company announced transactions involving Prompt Security and Observo AI. Prompt Security was focused on runtime protection for generative and agentic AI and controls intended to reduce prompt-injection and sensitive-data-leakage risks. Observo AI focused on real-time data-pipeline management, including ingestion, enrichment, summarization, routing, and reduction of telemetry volumes before data reaches SIEM or data-lake systems. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and the referenced material identifies additional offices in Boston, Prague, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv. SentinelOne remains a public cybersecurity company with an international customer base and a strategy built around autonomous protection, AI-assisted security operations, and the convergence of endpoint, cloud, identity, data, and AI security.
