SentinelOne Singularity XDR Platform Review For 2021 (Cost, Features, & Packages)

Endpoints such as laptops, desktop computers, and mobile phones are common entry points for cyber attackers and malware. The more devices your organization has, the more choices a cyber attacker can choose to access your IT infrastructure.

Luckily, an endpoint detection and response (EDR) platform can help create a safe and secure IT environment for your company.

LDI’s Managed IT team considers endpoint protection to be a valuable solution for organizations of any size.  Our team has supported several clients in deploying the SentinelOne Singularity XDR platform on their IT environment.

This article will review the SentinelOne Singularity XDR Platform. We will cover how it can help businesses, its notable features, and even tie in the cost for each package. After reading this article, you will know what to expect from the SentinelOne Singularity XDR Platform. You will also have a better idea if it’s suitable for your organization.

 

What Is The SentinelOne XDR Platform?

The SentinelOne Singularity XDR platform is an advanced Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solution that combines antivirus and anti-malware to deal with modern threats like cyberattacks and ransomware attacks. 

SentinelOne’s software can protect computing devices from malware and cybersecurity risks that pose a threat to your entire network. 

Through the combination of EDR and an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP), SentinelOne can protect all endpoints on your IT network. 

In addition, it can automate the identification and remediation process of cyber risks and exploits found in documents, phishing emails, drive-by downloads, and more on your IT network.

At this point, you may be asking yourself, “why can’t my business just implement RMM software and use it instead of hiring an MSP?”

 

3 Notable Features Of The SentinelOne Singularity XDR Platform

SentinelOne includes several modern features that make it an endpoint protection solution.

Let’s review three notable features that set SentinelOne apart from other EDR solutions on the market.

1. Uses AI & Machine Learning For Immediate Detection And Remediation

To better detect cyber risks and protect from modern-day malware threats, SentinelOne has incorporated artificial intelligence and machine learning to track the behavior of a computing device.

AI and machine learning work together to closely monitor how a device attempts to run applications and software. Suppose SentinelOne identifies a threat on a user’s device. In that case, its patented behavioral and static AI models can flag suspicious behavior and block those threats immediately.

Additionally, as the user, you can enable customized responses so that SentinelOne can alert you as soon as a risk is detected and remediated.

SentinelOne can isolate the threat and remediate the issue without human intervention when a cyber threat is detected.

The behavioral AI and machine learning features of SentinelOne continuously hunt for threats throughout an IT network to ensure that it is secure. With the help of SentinelOne’s behavioral AI and machine learning features, SentinelOne can run in real-time and kill any malicious process before it executes.

2. Incorporates Security Operations Centre (SOC)

Sentinel’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) can closely monitor your IT infrastructure 24/7 to help protect, identify, and get rid of any internal and external threats as they arise.

SentinelOne’s SOC is made up of certified security analysts and researchers that ensure that the software is running smoothly on your network. A SOC will make judgment calls on whether the cyber threat the software caught was a mistake or a verified response.

Through Sentinel’s SOC, security analysts can verify the identification, remediation, and response process to security alarms.

Having a SOC work with your SentinelOne solution is entirely optional. However, by double-checking SentinelOne’s effectiveness, a SOC can act as your second line of defense in ensuring that your network is well-protected at all times.

3. Provides An Analytics-Focused Approach On Security Reporting

A key component of SentinelOne’s EDR product is its focus on analytics and generating detailed reports. The purpose of a report is to provide authorized users with insights related to how far along threats got before reaching an endpoint. 

These reports can help you understand the security risks mitigated on your network.

It incorporates data collection, robust incident reporting, and analytics to log all identified, investigated, and remediated cybersecurity threats.

Besides security reporting, SentinelOne offers compliance for PCI, DSS, HITECH Act, and Hippa.
