SentinelOne , an autonomous cybersecurity platform company , has announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Attivo Networks , an identity security and lateral movement protection company .
With the acquisition , SentinelOne extends its AI-powered prevention , detection , and response capabilities to identity-based
threats , setting the standard for XDR and accelerating enterprise zero trust adoption .
Under the terms of the agreement , SentinelOne will acquire Attivo Networks in a cash and stock transaction valued at US $ 616.5 million . The acquisition is expected to close in SentinelOne ’ s upcoming fiscal second quarter , subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions .
“ The shift to hybrid work and increased cloud adoption has established identity as the new perimeter , highlighting the importance of visibility into user activity . Identity Threat Detection and Response ( ITDR ) is the missing link in holistic XDR and zero trust strategies ,” said Nicholas Warner , COO , SentinelOne . “ Our Attivo acquisition is a natural platform progression for protecting organisations from threats at every stage of the attack lifecycle .”
Attackers are targeting identity and access management gaps to gain a foothold within trusted environments and advance laterally in pursuit of high-value targets . “ In our breach response engagements , Active Directory and identity-based attacks are too common ,” said Ed Goings , National Leader , Cyber Response Services , KPMG .
