What is SentinelOne AI?

SentinelOne AI is an endpoint security platform designed to protect computers and devices from malware, ransomware, and other threats. It uses artificial intelligence to detect and respond to attacks automatically, without waiting for human intervention. The platform is aimed at businesses of all sizes that need to secure their employee devices and networks. What distinguishes it is the autonomous response capability, which means the system can isolate infected devices or block threats immediately when it detects suspicious activity, rather than simply alerting security teams.
