SentinelOne

Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna faced the challenge of balancing openness with the need for robust ransomware protection. As an independent public university, it offers a diverse range of experiences and emphasizes applied research across various fields. The university's open and flexible network infrastructure, combined with highly mobile users conducting research in unsecured environments, made it difficult to apply stringent corporate security models. The existing antivirus solutions were ineffective against advanced threats, and cloud-based research services were hard to secure. The university needed a solution that could protect devices and data against malware while meeting European privacy and regulatory requirements.

Based in Oslo, easy: solutions is a Managed Security Provider (MSP) serving small and medium-sized Norwegian companies that span a range of industries. As zero-day threats and ransomware attacks increased, easy: solutions’ customers began to see more frequent infections. The company’s existing security solutions were unable to stop advanced malware and ransomware, leading to disruptions in end-user productivity as infected machines had to be sent to easy: solutions for remediation. This process took critical time away from customer support, company management, and service development. The easy: solutions team needed a more effective way to secure their network and their customers’ networks, with a solution that could manage multiple customers’ networks from a single pane of glass. They evaluated several options but found that none met all their requirements until they discovered SentinelOne.

Labeyrie Fine Foods, a European agro-food group, faced challenges in optimizing its security infrastructure. The company had been using two different antivirus software vendors for over a decade, but the emergence of threats like cryptolocker highlighted the need for a more cohesive and effective solution. The existing antivirus solutions were not sufficient to guarantee optimal protection, and they introduced issues such as extra modules, time-consuming updates, and slower endpoints. Labeyrie needed a solution that would not obstruct or slow down work while providing robust protection against evolving threats.

Terres du Sud, an agricultural cooperative in southwest France, faced significant challenges in managing its security infrastructure. The organization, which supports over 6,000 members and employs 1,500 people across 115 locations, had been using Sophos products to protect its servers and endpoints. However, as new features were added, these products became cumbersome to manage, requiring the infrastructure team to handle two separate solutions for endpoints and servers. Additionally, the endpoint antivirus was resource-intensive, leading to slow system performance and user disruption. The increasing threat of ransomware and other advanced cyber threats, such as cryptolocker and file-less attacks, further exacerbated the situation, prompting Terres du Sud to seek a more efficient and effective security solution.

This rapidly growing high-profile financial technology company has thousands of workstations, database servers, and application servers to protect and finite security resources. When its antivirus began to consume more and more of the security team's time, they began searching for a replacement and had a long list of criteria. The team's criteria included data leak protection, firewalling, application control, device control, sandboxing, web reputation filtering, IDS/IPS, updates and maintenance, management console, reporting, CPU consumption, SIEM integration, technical support, and scalability. They created a scorecard and rated vendors on a weighted scale, letting the results speak for themselves. The team compared their existing vendor, Trend Micro, with BitDefender, Cylance, F-Secure, and SentinelOne. The results were completely unexpected.

In the face of increasingly sophisticated cybercrime, traditional security strategies are no longer sufficient. Companies like noris network AG, which provide ICT services, face the challenge of protecting sensitive data against advanced threats such as ransomware and data theft. The pressure is heightened by large-scale cyber-attacks like WannaCry and new security guidelines under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Traditional endpoint solutions, such as antivirus and firewalls, are inadequate against modern malware techniques, which disguise known malware and use memory-based transmission mechanisms. As a result, noris network AG needed to realign its security strategy to ensure maximum protection for its clients' data.

MAZ faced significant challenges in protecting its endpoints due to the increasing complexity of threats and the need to safeguard sensitive data. With the rise of Wi-Fi networks, cloud mobility, and applications, endpoint security became more difficult to manage. MAZ was receiving an estimated 2000 potentially dangerous attacks per day, but lacked the tools to accurately quantify and address these threats. The company needed a solution that could provide comprehensive protection across various operating systems, including older versions, while minimizing costs and resource consumption.

S. M. Wilson & Co., a large construction management firm, faced significant challenges in securing its IT infrastructure due to its highly mobile workforce. The company had been using McAfee as its endpoint security solution, but it was not sufficient to protect against advanced threats. The IT team, led by CIO Mark Patterson, needed a more robust security solution that could be deployed and maintained without hiring additional staff. The existing solution required 3-4 hours of security management weekly, and occasional infections led to downtime and performance issues. The company sought a solution that could provide comprehensive protection without the need for multiple products.
