SentinelOne Makes Major Machine Learning Enhancement to Its Next-Generation Endpoint Protection Platform

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2017) - SentinelOne, the company transforming endpoint security by delivering real-time protection powered by machine learning and dynamic behavior analysis, today announced the Deep File Inspection (DFI) engine, a significant new feature to its next-generation endpoint protection platform. The DFI engine identifies and prevents the execution of advanced threats and performs powerful, on-access static analysis to uncover and block file-based malware prior to execution and without any dependence on signatures. With DFI, SentinelOne Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) becomes the only next-generation endpoint protection offering to seamlessly pair advanced static prevention with dynamic behavior-based detection within a single platform. Built with the same advanced machine learning technology that drives the company's award-winning behavior-based detection capabilities, the DFI engine earned SentinelOne EPP top scores across several validation test reports from AV Comparatives and AV-TEST, making it the first certified AV replacement for MacOS. "Legacy antivirus is simply no match for today's sophisticated file-based malware, which proliferates much faster than new signatures can be created," said Tomer Weingarten, CEO of SentinelOne.
