CyberArk & SentinelOne join forces for enhanced security

CyberArk has announced a new integration with SentinelOne's cybersecurity platform, SentinelOne Singularity, aimed at bolstering endpoint and identity security to guard against the misuse of privileged access.

This collaboration merges the strengths of SentinelOne's endpoint detection and response capabilities and CyberArk's Endpoint Privilege Manager, providing a security framework designed to enhance threat detection and response with AI-driven analytics.

The integration introduces new CyberArk identity data into SentinelOne Singularity for AI Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) applications.

This enhancement offers mutual customers richer context and correlation for threat detection, response, threat hunting, investigations, and automation.

Melissa K. Smith, Vice President, Strategic Technology Partnerships and Initiatives at SentinelOne, stated, "SentinelOne recognises that cybersecurity is a team sport. Our integration with CyberArk brings together two market leaders in endpoint security and identity protection and empowers customers to reduce the risk of privileged identity attacks in an open, flexible way."

Nigel Miller, Vice President and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer at Maximus, a global health and human services provider, remarked on the utility of this integration, "We use SentinelOne and CyberArk as part of our approach to building resilient cyber defences. How we interact with our ecosystem and serve our customers has become more digital and interlinked. As a result, all organisations – including Maximus – face near-constant attacks on the increasing number of endpoints, identities and cloud workloads. Defense-in-depth is the only security strategy that makes sense. The integration between SentinelOne and CyberArk platforms will help us quickly understand, identify and respond to credential theft attempts and prevent privilege access misuse – all in a highly visible, actionable way."

The integration of CyberArk and SentinelOne offers capabilities such as detecting and preventing ransomware, credential theft, and other endpoint attacks through privilege and resource access control, continuous monitoring, and in-depth analysis. It accelerates response and mitigation processes through enhanced threat intelligence and visibility while maintaining user productivity with robust security measures.

These include automatic policy-based program elevation and application controls, alongside credential rotation on the endpoint.

Clarence Hinton, Chief Strategy Officer at CyberArk, emphasised the strategic importance of the integration by saying, "In a multi-cloud world, organisations are looking for new ways to secure identities and must prioritise implementing identity-centric endpoint security controls and system hardening to prevent cyberattackers from gaining a foothold. Through our integration with SentinelOne, we help customers detect and prevent downstream attacks, like privileged credential theft and ransomware. This collaboration uses the power of AI to bring together the complementary strengths of EDR and endpoint identity security, enhancing visibility and boosting defenses against attacks that compromise and exploit privileged access."
