This is the real deal, folks. Meet SentinelOne.
It’s the only software out there today that protects against unknown forms of ransomware, which is crucial with so many new variants surfacing every day. Not only does this product protect your computer/device, but it also secures your servers.
How does SentinelOne work?
Unlike other software, SentinelOne does not rely on file-based or mathematical algorithmic analysis. What elevates this product from the rest is that its Predictive Execution Inspection Engine observes and understands the execution behavior of all applications, programs, processes, and threads in real time.
What protection features are included?
- Real-Time Behavioral Detection: SentinelOne’s execution engine is able to monitor all endpoint processes, add full context for every process, and then predict advanced and hidden ransomware attacks based on the execution behavior of the suspicious software. This means SentinelOne catches ransomware that would otherwise be hidden to security products relying on static, non-behavior techniques (e.g. comparing the elements of an opened file to a registry of known threats).
- Predictive Execution Inspection: Unlike static filters that analyze files and persistent elements of ransomware, SentinelOne’s Execution Inspection Engine allows and monitors limited execution of all suspicious software, including memory-based and script-based ransomware, in order to understand its behavior. This allows SentinelOne to find extremely advanced ransomware variants that do not have any disk or file activity, that do not leave any indicators of compromise, and that use sophisticated embedding techniques to mask activities. As soon as SentinelOne detects a threat, is responds to what is happening as it happens.
- Cloud Intelligence: The SentinelOne agent constantly monitors every file and process on the endpoint or server and sends file information to the cloud intelligence reputation service, where it is scanned in real time by dozens of scan engines and leading reputation services. When a known threat is detected, it is immediately blocked before the user is exposed to any risk.
- Kernel Space Operation: Because the SentinelOne agent runs in Kernel space (thereby having privileged access to all memory vs. the limited access available in User space), it is highly tamper resistant to ransomware attempts that try to evade or disable the agent.
- Roll-Back: Many of the ransomware variants out there today encrypt system and data files. Now, sophisticated variants are going one step further by destroying the “shadow copies” (a.k.a. backup copies or snapshots of files) created by your system’s operating system. This, in turn, eliminates the possibility of recovering encrypted data. But, the good news is SentinelOne saves and protects the shadow copies of data files so that you are able to recover from a ransomware infection.
- Automatic Response and Mitigation: SentinelOne is the only solution that covers detection, prevention, and response for endpoints and servers in a single unified platform.
- Broad Platform Support: In addition to Windows, SentinelOne supports Mac OS X, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices, which are now becoming common ransomware targets. Plus, SentinelOne supports Windows and Linux servers.
The Bottom Line
As technology continues to advance, so do the techniques hackers use to access and invade your system. Both individuals and corporations will need to maintain the best defenses possible to protect themselves from ransomware and other malware.
As of this writing, the best solution on the market to ensure ransomware does not hold your computer/device or data hostage is SentinelOne. Their Endpoint Protection Platform and Critical Server Protection Platform are certified by AV-Test and backed up by a Ransomware Cyber Guarantee, which mitigates the financial risks (up to $1,000 per endpoint, up to $1M total) of paying ransom to recuperate data in the unlikely event that a ransomware attack can’t be prevented or detected by SentinelOne, or if the system cannot be successfully rolled back to its pre-attack state.
