Event Announcements

SentinelOne Integrates with Proofpoint for Enhanced Ransomware Protection

We are pleased to announce a new integration with SentinelOne Singularity XDR and Proofpoint’s Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) security solution. With this integration, enterprises receive multi-layered detection and response from email to endpoint, cloud, and identity management, protecting both your greatest assets and risks: your people. Proofpoint TAP offers unique visibility into email-based threats and streams data to the SentinelOne Singularity XDR platform for defense-in-depth protection.

According to recent Proofpoint research, 83% of organizations experienced at least one successful email-based phishing attack in 2021 alone. With threats coming from various sources, threat actors continue to target the weakest link they can find – humans. The integration aligns Proofpoint and SentinelOne together to solve this problem by securing email inboxes and preventing threats associated with their users.

“Charged by an Elephant – An APT Fabricating Evidence to Throw You in Jail”

SentinelOne Speakers: Juan Andres Guerrero-Saade, Tom Hegel
Where: South Pacific F (Level 1)
When: Thursday, August 11, 3:20pm-4:00pm

Session Summary: It’s easy to forget the human cost of state-sponsored threats operating with impunity. While we often think of espionage, intellectual property theft, or financial gain as the objectives of these cyber operations, there’s a far more insidious motivation that flies under the radar – APTs fabricating evidence to frame and incarcerate vulnerable opponents. This talk focuses on the activities of ModifiedElephant, a threat actor operating for at least a decade with ties to the commercial surveillance industry. This cluster of activity represents a critically underreported dimension of how technology can be abused to silence critics.

Congrats to both Juan Andres and Tom for a great turn out at yesterday’s sessions!
