SentinelOne to Expand Cloud Security Capabilities with Acquisition of PingSafe
SentinelOne , a global leader in
AI-powered security, announced that it has agreed to acquire PingSafe.
The acquisition of PingSafe’s cloud native application protection platform
(CNAPP), when combined with SentinelOne’s cloud workload security and cloud data security capabilities, is
expected to provide companies with a fully integrated platform that drives
better coverage, hygiene and automation across their entire cloud footprint.
The planned integration of
PingSafe’s CNAPP into SentinelOne’s Singularity™ Platform signifies a paradigm
shift in cloud security. Rather than relying on point solutions or a standalone
cloud security platform, companies can now access a unified, best-of-breed
security platform complete with advanced, real-time, AI-powered security
operations to protect the entire enterprise across endpoints, identities, and
clouds.
“With the addition of PingSafe,
we intend to redefine cloud security by fusing best-of-breed cloud workload
protection, AI and analytics capabilities with a modern and comprehensive CNAPP,”
said Ric Smith, Chief Product and Technology Officer, SentinelOne. “This new
approach to cloud security will eliminate the need for companies to navigate
the complexity of multiple-point solutions, triage and investigate with
incomplete context, or pipe data between disparate data silos. Instead, they
can comprehensively manage their entire attack surface from a single platform
that, unlike legacy CNAPP and standalone providers, delivers the full context,
real-time interaction and analytics needed to correlate, detect and stop
multi-stage attacks in a simple, automated way.”
Transforming Cybersecurity
SentinelOne has been steadily
extending its cloud security capabilities beyond cloud workload security, and
the acquisition of PingSafe will accelerate this strategy. The move also aligns
with the Singularity Unity Release strategy SentinelOne announced in November
to transform security operations centers.
“SentinelOne is a pioneer and
leader in AI-powered security, and we share a common mission to secure the
cloud and make the Internet a safer place,” said Anand Prakash, founder and CEO
of PingSafe and one of the world’s top five white hat hackers. “The combination
of our cutting-edge CNAPP capabilities with SentinelOne’s market-leading AI
security platform will supercharge cloud security by providing world-class
protection for multi-cloud infrastructure, from development to deployment.”
Leading Cloud Security with Enterprise-Wide AI and Analytics
PingSafe is a robust CNAPP
solution that delivers dynamic, real-time monitoring of multi-cloud workloads,
simple setup and configuration and low false positive rates. And customers view
it as superior to alternative solutions in the market.
“With more than $100 billion in
transactions flowing through our network, nothing is more important than
ensuring the security of our environment,” said Ashwath Kumar, Principal
Security Engineer at Razorpay, one of the largest payment processors in India.
“With PingSafe, we can cut through the noise delivered by many CNAPP solutions
to identify and prioritize the most critical threats and take an offensive
approach to preventing them before they impact our business.”
“We operate in a regulated but
growing industry. It is an industry where one needs to adapt to change at lightning
speed, and ensuring compliance in doing so is a key requirement,” said Prajal Kulkarni, CISO Groww. “We must be able
to quickly identify, prioritize and respond to cloud misconfiguration
seamlessly and correlate issues across our large cloud environment, and
PingSafe provides us with a centralized dashboard that makes this easy and
cost-effective to do.”
With the acquisition of PingSafe,
SentinelOne will offer differentiated capabilities such as advanced secrets
scanning of runtime and build-time environments and an attack surface
management rules engine that runs breach and attack simulation scenarios
against Internet-exposed cloud assets to identify how an adversary could
compromise those assets. These capabilities will be in addition to core CNAPP
capabilities like cloud security posture management, Kubernetes security
posture management, agentless vulnerability scanning, and shift-left Infrastructure
as code scanning.
“Combined with our Singularity
Data Lake, Purple AI, endpoint security, and identity security capabilities,
PingSafe will enable us to provide a compelling and cost-effective alternative
to standalone CNAPP offerings unlike anything else in the market and a
superior, more integrated user experience,” Smith said.
