SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security - AI Powered CNAPP

My customer saw benefits from using  SentinelOne Singularity  Cloud Security as we are able to actually fix the vulnerabilities. There are many infrastructure components that need to be properly patched. We have a hybrid platform with hyper-scaler components. My customer is into hyper-scaler environments, and there are many aspects that need to be properly patched. We have plenty of cloud native applications that have been hosted in both AWS  and Azure . Governing all of this requires many employees to govern it. When we implemented SentinelOne, the team was shortened from 25 people to only 15 or 16 people. This reduction occurred because of the consolidated platform and all the vulnerabilities showing up in the console have been automatically patched. The vulnerabilities automatically go to the SIEM  and are patched by the application team, and the vulnerabilities in the cloud are patched by the cloud department. This was much easier because the integration with the SIEM , which was LogRhythm  on premise, was much easier than Trend Micro. Trend Micro would have required syslog servers, but SentinelOne only had three or four steps and just connected to the log server. LogRhythm  was able to easily fetch the logs from it.

The role of SentinelOne's secret scanning feature is very important in tightening my company's cloud hygiene. In an infrastructure where there are hybrid cloud and different vendors of cloud such as AWS  and Azure , maintaining both clouds and having a resource pool with the skill set of AWS and Azure is very difficult. After implementing CSPM, I could have a vulnerability management system under one roof where I could take the misconfiguration of Azure and AWS at the same place and get it done by a limited amount of users. SentinelOne CSPM knows how AWS configuration and Azure configuration work, so I can know about it and fix it all in one place. SentinelOne has eased the process of finding vulnerabilities in each cloud platform. I have vulnerability visibility for every tenant that I have hosted in different cloud hosting platforms, and it has eased my work of fixing the vulnerabilities.

The impact and effectiveness SentinelOne had in managing cloud identities and enforcing least privilege is evident in an incident where SentinelOne helped us. There were some identities which did not have two-factor authentication. In fact, they were not even linked to our Active Directory. It turned out that the cloud infrastructure had some identities from the company which implemented that cloud. We were able to find accounts which were not supposed to exist in the cloud infrastructure because it mapped itself with the Active Directory and fetched all the users who actually need access to the AWS server. We found out that these two users were not in there, identified the anomaly, and deleted the identities from the cloud platforms.

My experience includes implementing  SentinelOne Singularity  Cloud Security, specifically the Cloud Singularity  as a marketplace for AWS and Azure. I only have to connect the connectors from the marketplace, and as soon as I get the license, I can deploy it from the marketplace and start using it. The deployment phase was actually easy when I connected with the connectors from AWS and Azure marketplace.

I compared Trend Micro and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security with two POCs for both of them. SentinelOne was at the higher price end, but my customer and the management opted for it because of the integrity and the better coverage. The ease of deployment mechanism in SentinelOne is not present in Trend Micro. In Trend Micro, for each cloud platform, such as AWS, I need to have another localhost web URL to access that particular dashboard. In SentinelOne, I can manage everything under one particular URL and there are different functions to it. I can easily navigate to any dashboard that I require, so the ease of using SentinelOne was easier than Trend Micro. The better coverage and easy deployment is the second part. Trend Micro had some manual intervention required and an extra server needed to be a jump server for all the traffic to be passed. SentinelOne had both on-premise and cloud options, which was another plus point for the customer.

In Cloud Singularity , there is a cloud native application, and in that, there is CSPM. We also used to have CWSPM. In CSPM, we only used to get the vulnerabilities in the cloud configuration, just the misconfiguration. In SentinelOne CWSPM, the attack map and the graph that it created inside the dashboard gave me a better idea for myself and the management to fix the most vulnerable issues. There might be some vulnerabilities with a higher risk rate, but some CVE IDs with lesser risk rate could have caused major damage to the company's infrastructure than the CVE with the higher risk end. The attack graph which CWSPM showed in SentinelOne was the best thing I have come across because it gave me a better visibility of the whole infrastructure and what vulnerabilities can be impactful and more critical to any customer.

SentinelOne's runtime protection is lightweight. I would say it is very lightweight and it does not even feel that I am running a SentinelOne agent in the systems. Compared to Checkpoint EDR, SentinelOne is a lot better because the Checkpoint agent takes a major chunk of the RAM of the desktop. SentinelOne barely takes around 25 MB of the RAM, so it is very easy and lightweight.

Regarding SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security advanced SIEM capabilities, we had log servers. There were only EDR part and the CSPM, and it actually created the attack graph matrix and created it as a SIEM. We have actually used it. The logs are very much in real time and the false positive was less compared to the LogRhythm ones.

I elaborate on my rating of SentinelOne support by mentioning that there was some time where the troubleshooting took a longer time. In fact, there were many meetings going on. The availability of the document on the internet is on a lesser side because as an engineer, I would want to know about the troubleshooting aspects of this particular tool. When I am facing a customer, I do not prefer to bring the vendor to every call and try to resolve it, as it takes months and months. It would be better to have a training session with the engineer on site to explain and train properly. This is not the case with SentinelOne, so this is the only thing I have a complaint about.

I do not have any other room for improvement to suggest within SentinelOne itself. However, I would really want the AI assistant for the threat hunting part to be more accessible. They have it, but they are making it licensed, so it is a bit on the higher end.

Regarding stability and availability of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, it has been on and stable every time I have opened it. There are no issues for me with respect to the availability of it, so it is going good.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security scalability does grow well with the growing needs of my company and my client's company. We are trying to make every other component SentinelOne so that we can have a better attack map walkthrough and have clearer visibility for where the attack can be associated with. We are trying to replace whichever security solutions are necessary to create a consolidated attack map vector which we call the Singularity, the Cloud Singularity, so that everything comes under one and we can get a better overview of all the vulnerabilities and fix it accordingly.

Regarding the level of support I am getting from SentinelOne, I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Since switching to SentinelOne, I have been able to eliminate three tools or solutions. The first was Trend Micro EDR, which SentinelOne replaced. The second one was Tenable Synapse , which we replaced with CSPM from SentinelOne. The third one was the SIEM LogRhythm.

I compared Trend Micro and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security.

SentinelOne CSPM also eliminates misconfiguration on its own after one approval, which is a very good thing that I actually liked about SentinelOne CSPM.

The rating of nine is because of some false positives that I found recently. There was some misconfiguration from cloud servers which I thought was not necessary. That is the one point that I reduced for. They can improve, but they are better than other solutions, which is the reason it received a nine and not a ten.

If someone is considering and evaluating SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, I want to advise them to opt for SentinelOne because if you want integrity and faster driven insights on your whole infrastructure, you should really opt for SentinelOne because it has ease of access, easy deployment, and you would require only fewer engineers to deploy it because it is not a big Checkpoint level complex integrity that you have to do in SentinelOne. I gave this review an overall rating of nine out of ten.
