SentinelOne driven to stop attacks in their tracks

CNME Editor Mark Forker spoke to Tamer Odeh, Regional Director at SentinelOne, Middle East, onsite at GISEC 2021, to find out how their patented AI technology is equipping businesses with the solutions required to deter, mitigate and stop ransomware attacks – and why the end-point has become the first line of defense for enterprises.

Comprehensive asset management is the prerequisite of effective security

Now that multi-cloud and hybrid workplaces are adding multiple layers of complexity to technology stacks, security teams can be overwhelmed with alerts. By thoroughly profiling every element of the network and applying some basic automation, threat hunters can compile a more manageable to-do list – one that ensures clarity and purpose. Some items may be quick wins, such as simple software patching or reconfiguration. Others may be more complex but require immediate action because of the potential harm they could cause. And others may be trivial and can be ignored.

A recent industry report found that ransomware attacks increased by 150% in the last year, while blockchain research firm Chainalysis saw a 311% increase, year on year, to the end of 2020 in the number of actual ransomware attacks. Ransomware is also a growing concern in the Middle East region, as attack frequency and sophistication rose significantly since last year.

An Edge Computing Breakup: Out with the Old, and In with the New

When COVID-19 arrived in early 2020, enterprises’ first priority was to patch together a communications and information-sharing infrastructure that could sustain operations until work could return to normal. More than a year later, returns are on hold, and enterprises are rethinking their visions of “normal.” They’re reimagining their workplaces and their business practices, embracing more flexible models that take advantage of the benefits of edge technologies.
