What is SentinelOne?

What it is

SentinelOne is a next-generation antivirus (referred to as "EDR") that protects your computers and servers. Where a classic antivirus merely recognises known viruses, SentinelOne monitors the behaviour of programs and blocks threats in real time, including ransomware never seen before.

How it works

A small piece of software (the agent) is installed on each device to protect. It works in the background, without slowing down the machine, and reports the security status to a centralised console.

The plans

  • Control: advanced protection + device and firewall control.
  • Complete: adds in-depth detection/response and threat hunting.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to uninstall my old antivirus? Yes, it's recommended to have only one active protection solution to avoid conflicts.
