SentinelOne CEO On Microsoft’s Security Copilot: ‘It’s A Nice Chatbot’

In an interview with CRN, SentinelOne Co-Founder and CEO Tomer Weingarten says his company’s use of generative AI for security stands apart from what Microsoft and Google are doing in the space.
Since your focus has been on AI-powered, autonomous security for a long time, would you say that’s what allowed you to release a tool like this faster than others?
Totally. We were talking about AI, and we were integrating neural networks into our product, for years. And I think that for many people, AI might have been just a buzzword you put out there. But for us, it’s what was driving detection — and what is driving detection today — across 10,000 customers. In some of the most demanding environments, we’ve got an autonomous algorithm embedded into the endpoint agent that can detect and prevent threats in real-time in a completely heuristic, machine learning-driven way. So when you couple that capability with a large language model — when you have the ability to train models, when you have the big data infrastructure, when you have all the expertise of the data scientist teams that have been doing this for years — then yes, it’s easier for us to do it.
