SentinelOne Replaces Any Need For Legacy AV Suites With New Features

Features Provide Last-Mile Capabilities for Full Visibility, Protection, and Control Over Endpoint Devices

SentinelOne,†the†autonomous endpoint protection company, has announced two new features for the SentinelOne platform that extend its scope beyond traditional endpoint protection (EPP) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities. SentinelOne unveiled Endpoint Firewall Control, a robust feature that enables security and IT teams to control the endpoint’s firewall and immunize an organization’s network from data exfiltration and malicious IP addresses. SentinelOne is the first and only next-generation vendor to offer this capability, enhancing the control of how an endpoint interacts with the network or cloud, to provide access and data control, beyond the reach of the classic network firewalls. This ability is especially important in a “post-perimeter” world, and in zero-trust models, as a means to enforce and control the device’s trust posture. Additionally, the company announced Device Control, a feature that enables enterprises to maintain full control and complete visibility over peripheral devices.

SentinelOne’s Endpoint Firewall Control and Device Control features provide what some considered the missing pieces to fully replace legacy antivirus (AV) solutions with its next-gen product, providing unparalleled protection and visibility capabilities. These two features, as well as the entire platform, are delivered via SentinelOne’s single agent, single codebase, single console architecture, available seamlessly in cloud-delivered or on-premises deployment models. With the addition of these abilities, SentinelOne becomes the only vendor to provide complete visibility into every aspect of the endpoint’s data transport, controlling all “ins and outs” of a given device.

Endpoint Firewall Control allows an organization to create and enforce endpoint firewall policies, integrating into an organization’s layered security model. The feature enables the SentinelOne agent to block unauthorized network traffic flowing into or out of devices, across both Windows and macOS. Endpoint Firewall Control has been a final holdout for retaining legacy AV suites: SentinelOne is proud to rapidly deliver critical features that enable enterprises of all sizes to remove the shackles of legacy AV.

With SentinelOne’s Device Control, IT and security teams gain complete visibility into how USBs and other peripheral devices are being used and can easily control and manage that usage. The feature provides customers with visibility into every connected device’s information and history, robust control over storage devices, and a greater frame of reference around the host activity to see what’s happening in an organization’s environment.

“At SentinelOne, we strive to deliver full, 360-degree protection of the endpoint, by providing the tools and automation capabilities needed to harden, prevent, find, and mitigate threats in an ever-evolving threat landscape,” said Tomer Weingarten, CEO and Cofounder, SentinelOne. “The nail is in the coffin for legacy AV: our Firewall Control and Device Control features allow organizations to make a full transition from legacy AV by providing device management efficiency with the unparalleled endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities customers expect, enjoying full context monitoring and control of every aspect of the endpoint device.”

With SentinelOne’s acclaimed multi-tenant console, enterprises and service providers can customize endpoint firewall control and device control settings to best fit their organizations’ security needs without compromising end-user productivity.
