SentinelOne Acquires PingSafe for Enhanced Cloud Security

SentinelOne, an AI-powered security company, has confirmed its acquisition of PingSafe. The integration of PingSafe's cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) with SentinelOne's cloud workload security and cloud data security capabilities aims to deliver a comprehensive platform, enhancing coverage, hygiene, and automation across companies' entire cloud presence.

The integration of PingSafe’s CNAPP into SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform marks a revolutionary change in cloud security. This shift eliminates the need for fragmented solutions or standalone cloud security platforms, offering companies a unified, best-of-breed security platform. Powered by advanced, real-time AI operations, it provides comprehensive protection across endpoints, identities, and clouds, ushering in a new era of enterprise security.

“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 continues its strategic expansion of cloud security beyond workload protection, with the acquisition of PingSafe poised to expedite this trajectory. This move aligns seamlessly with SentinelOne's Singularity Unity Release strategy unveiled in November, dedicated to the transformation of security operations centers, showcasing a cohesive and forward-looking approach to bolstering the company's cloud security capabilities.

“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.”

Cloud Security through Enterprise-Level AI and Analytics

PingSafe stands as a resilient CNAPP solution, offering dynamic real-time monitoring of multi-cloud workloads, effortless setup, configuration, and minimal false positive rates. It is widely regarded by customers as surpassing alternative solutions available 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 prevent 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.”

Through the incorporation of PingSafe, SentinelOne will introduce distinctive features, including advanced secrets scanning for both runtime and build-time environments. Additionally, it will provide an attack surface management rules engine, enabling the execution of breach and attack simulation scenarios on Internet-exposed cloud assets to pinpoint potential adversary compromise strategies. These enhancements complement core CNAPP capabilities, encompassing cloud security posture management, Kubernetes security posture management, agentless vulnerability scanning, and Infrastructure as code scanning for a comprehensive and fortified security approach.

“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.
