SentinelOne, the autonomous cybersecurity firm, lately unveiled its cloud information safety product line, that includes two merchandise: menace detection for Amazon S3 and menace detection for NetApp.
The corporate stated these “high-speed malware detection” options are particularly tailor-made to guard organizations that use Amazon S3 object storage and NetApp file storage from evolving malware threats of their cloud environments and enterprise networks.
SentinelOne asserts that the newest choices additional strengthen the corporate’s Singularity Cloud product household, complementing SentinelOne’s present cloud workload safety product line.
This enlargement goals to provide prospects the flexibility to detect, examine and proactively mitigate threats throughout a various vary of cloud environments, together with public, non-public and hybrid clouds.

Malware on the Transfer
As companies more and more undertake cloud-based options, they change into extra prone to classy malware assaults. To deal with this urgent problem, SentinelOne stated it’s intensifying its concentrate on cloud capabilities and embracing a contemporary strategy to defending cloud storage and workloads from malware.
The brand new menace detection for NetApp and Amazon S3 merchandise can routinely scan each file added to those two storage platforms for file-borne and zero-day malware, detecting and quarantining malicious information in actual time.
“Adversaries are producing more and more refined malware assaults utilizing generative AI, and as reported by the cloud suppliers themselves, cloud storage is an more and more used supply channel for delivering them,” Ely Kahn, vp of product administration, cloud safety, and AI/ML merchandise at SentinelOne, advised VentureBeat. “Our cloud information safety merchandise carry AI-powered menace detection to cloud storage, enabling companies to routinely detect malware hiding inside it in a contemporary method.”
In accordance with Kahn, many cloud information safety options rely solely on signature-based approaches. In distinction, he stated, SentinelOne adopts a hybrid strategy, utilizing each signature and non-signature-based strategies pushed by the businesses proprietary AI detection engines.
Moreover, the platform features a distinctive “shield mode,” empowering prospects to configure computerized quarantine for malicious information and objects, a function missing in opponents’ merchandise that solely supply a detect mode.
“Our new merchandise can scan new information/objects in milliseconds, and our prospects inform us we’re thrice quicker than anything they’ve examined,” Kahn advised VentureBeat. “Whereas many opponents require buyer information to be pulled into their cloud setting to be scanned, we guarantee no buyer information/objects by no means go away their cloud setting, supporting privateness and information sovereignty wants.”
Leveraging AI to detect cloud threats in actual time
SentinelOne emphasizes that the cornerstone of its new safety merchandise lies of their proprietary Static AI engine. Not like conventional strategies, this AI engine doesn’t depend on signatures for malware detection.
The corporate defined that the AI engine has undergone intensive coaching on tons of of hundreds of thousands of malware samples, enabling it to adeptly detect unknown malware, together with malware linked to zero-day exploits.
The engine additionally possesses a local understanding of typical attributes present in malware information.
Cloud safety operations have traditionally been segregated from an organization’s general safety operations. Kahn asserts that as corporations achieve a greater understanding of cloud safety, they intention to consolidate all menace administration, together with for each cloud and data-related threats, right into a unified course of.
Kahn stated the corporate collaborated intently with NetApp and Amazon Net Providers to make sure seamless integration of SentinelOne’s choices with the storage options, leading to an optimum mixture of safety and efficiency for his or her shared prospects.
“The reconfigurability capabilities permit prospects to determine whether or not they need menace detection protection throughout all their S3 buckets or simply sure ones in sure accounts. Prospects may determine if they need some accounts or buckets configured in shield mode and others in detect mode,” he defined. “If there are particular buckets with extremely delicate operational workloads, the client can configure these with detect mode and all others with our shield mode.”
Kahn asserted that the options characterize a major step ahead in SentinelOne’s mission to assist prospects stop tomorrow’s assaults as we speak, however that they’re only a first step.
“AI goes to supercharge the menace panorama, and we’ll proceed to leverage it to ship further cloud workload safety and cloud information safety merchandise that organizations can use to detect and forestall the unfold of malware throughout their cloud environments and enterprise networks, as they emerge with machine velocity,” Kahn advised VentureBeat.
