In response to the growing sophistication of malware attacks and the increasing migration of businesses to the cloud, SentinelOne, the leading autonomous cybersecurity provider, has introduced its Cloud Data Security product line. This launch includes the general availability of two initial products: Threat Detection for Amazon S3 and Threat Detection for NetApp. These cutting-edge solutions aim to bolster organizations’ defenses against malware spread across their cloud environments and enterprise networks, specifically for those using Amazon S3 object storage and NetApp file storage.
The Cloud Data Security products are part of SentinelOne’s Singularity™ Cloud product family, which complements the existing Cloud Workload Security product line. The latter already enables customers to detect, investigate, and automatically resolve threats in their servers and containers across public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud environments.
The importance of safeguarding data stored in cloud object storage and network-attached storage cannot be understated, as it is vital for business continuity. However, protecting these vast volumes of files and objects, often numbering in the millions or billions, while maintaining strict latency and performance requirements for operational workloads, presents significant challenges. Moreover, with malware continually evolving, conventional security measures are no longer sufficient.
Ely Kahn, Vice President of Product Management, Cloud Security, and AI/ML at SentinelOne, emphasized the need for a modern approach to ensure malware-free cloud storage and workloads.
Leveraging their industry-leading threat detection technology deployed on millions of endpoints, SentinelOne’s Threat Detection for NetApp and Amazon S3 automatically scans every file added to NetApp and Amazon S3 storage for file-borne and zero-day malware. When a malicious file is detected, SentinelOne takes immediate action by automatically remediating and quarantining it, thus ensuring clean data buckets and enhanced user safety.
JobTarget, a recruitment advertising platform, has embraced SentinelOne’s AWS S3 scanning solution to maintain data security while adopting cloud-based storage. Deno Morgan, Senior Director of Information Security at JobTarget, highlighted how the combination of advanced technology, automation, and real-time malware scanning has allowed their IT and business teams to focus on strategic tasks while strengthening their system security.
The Threat Detection for NetApp and Amazon S3 products offer a range of essential features to enhance cloud data security:
– Local scanning within the customer’s environment, ensuring files and objects stay within their control.
– Advanced machine learning engines to detect both known and unknown malware threats.
– Configurable policy-based coverage and automated response capabilities.
– Unified management console for overseeing endpoint, cloud workload, identity, and cloud data security products.
– Designed for performance and scalability, supporting even the most demanding environments.
– Comprehensive threat metadata, including malware source information.
– File fetch of quarantined and encrypted threats for further analysis.
– File quarantine and unquarantine options.
– File exclusions and user block list for flexible security management.
– Reviewed and certified by NetApp and Amazon Web Services (AWS) for trusted security assurance.
Chris Grusz, Managing Director of Technology Partnerships for AWS, acknowledged the dynamic nature of security threats and the increasing adoption of Amazon S3 for business acceleration. He praised innovative security partners like SentinelOne, emphasizing their role in meeting customers’ security and compliance needs while supporting their innovation and business objectives. This collaborative effort seeks to deliver solutions that stay ahead of the evolving cloud security landscape.
