SentinelOne<\/a> is a cybersecurity platform provider which has now acquired identity security company Attivo Networks<\/a>. SentinelOne\u2019s AI is powered to provide services like prevention, protection, and response capabilities that are now extended to identity-based attacks, raising the bar for XDR and speeding business zero trust adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n

SentinelOne will pay $616.5 million in the form of cash and shares to purchase Attivo Networks under the terms of the signed deal. The deal is scheduled for the second quarter of SentinelOne\u2019s fiscal year, which is subject to regulatory approval and other standard closing conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attivo Networks have customers from all over the world and they also protect Fortune 500 organizations to government agencies from all types of identity thefts, privilege escalation, and lateral movement threats. The company is known for the Identity Detection and Response (IDR) experts, which offer innovative protection against identity compromises, privilege escalation, and lateral movement assault. Attivo Networks provide the highest visibility into security exposures and attack pathways. Its products prevent and derail attack escalation efforts across endpoints, Active Directory, and cloud environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicholas Warner, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at SentinelOne said, the company\u2019s shift to hybrid work and increased cloud adoption has established identity as the new perimeter, that highlights the importance of visibility into user activity. Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR), is the missing link between holistic XDR and zero trust strategies. Our motive is simple, that is to just protect organizations from threats at every stage of the attack lifecycle.<\/span><\/p>\n
