Endpoint security, or endpoint protection, is the process of protecting user endpoints (a device connected to a network to communicate) from threats such as malware, ransomware, and zero-days. The connection of endpoint devices to corporate networks creates attack paths for security threats of all kinds. This could mean exposing important financial information about an organization or leaking personal information about customers that thought they were secure.
Endpoint Security platforms qualify as Antivirus. For organizations looking to run “antivirus,” SentinelOne fulfills this requirement and so much more with fully-fledged prevention, detection, and response across endpoint, cloud, container, mobile IoT, data, and more.
Yet, Antivirus is an antiquated, legacy technology that relies on malware file signatures. SentinelOne’s autonomous platform does not use traditional antivirus signatures to spot malicious attacks. Instead, we use a combination of static machine learning analysis and dynamic behavioral analysis to protect systems. All files are evaluated in real-time before they execute and as they execute. Because SentinelOne technology does not use signatures, customers do not have to worry about network-intensive updates or local system I/O intensive daily disk scans.
