Enables us to prioritize and effectively address critical security issues

Evidence-based reporting helps us to prioritize and solve critical security issues. The new visualization feature demonstrates how an attacker can enter the system, highlighting the potential path that can be exploited and outlining all the steps the attacker could take. With that visibility, we can ensure the perimeter is strong and attackers cannot enter, thus reducing the risk. It has helped us prioritize issues. The visibility into how an attack could happen is valuable. For example, it highlights the system vulnerability and outlines where an attack could propagate. The visualization helps me to prioritize remediation, and if I don't know where to start, I can check to see the score that enables me to prioritize issues. I am using infrastructure-as-code scanning, and it's one of the useful features. In pre-production, it identifies embedded secrets and misconfigurations, including issues with Kubernetes or some privileged containers. This feature allows us to pass the audit and secure IaC code so that it isn't easily exploitable by attackers. We can more proactively work to identify and resolve vulnerabilities by using the dashboard and the alerting system that SentinelOne provides. It helps us with audits and compliance. We can show the compliance in percentage. We can confidently say that our company or infrastructure is very secure. It has improved our security posture by 30% to 35%. It has reduced our false positives by 30%. It has helped teams collaborate better. The security team manages SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, and when it flags vulnerabilities, they are forwarded to DevOps for remediation. Previously, we needed to identify and report the issues, but there would be lapses in communication. Now, there is a centralized dashboard that anyone can look at and see the open issues and work on them.

Boosts security and compliance in multi-cloud environments while real-time threat detection enhances risk management

Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP flagged a misconfiguration in our AWS S3 bucket that had overly permissive access settings. That configuration could have exposed our sensitive data to the public internet. The platform not only identified the issue but also provided remediation that our team was able to apply immediately. This prevented a potential data exposure. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP offers a unified, modular platform that combines CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, code security, and cloud detection and response. The agentless workload posture, real-time threat detection and response, multi-cloud coverage and visibility, compliance automation, and one-click remediations stand out as its best features. I find myself relying on the risk management engine and prioritization the most day-to-day. In any cloud environment, you are flooded with findings, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps. Without prioritization, it is overwhelming for our team to take care of the posture. CloudGuard's risk scoring helps us cut through incidents. This makes remediation faster and focused instead of wasting time checking every alert. We get to fix the issues that pose real business risks. Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP has positively impacted our organization at a significant level. We get greater visibility and control across all our cloud environments. Some biggest benefits we have seen are faster detection and remediation of misconfigurations, improved compliance posture, reduced risk exposure, operational efficiency, and cost savings. Overall, it has made our cloud environment more secure, compliant, and easier to manage while freeing up our teams to focus on projects instead of chasing alerts.

Continuous runtime security has improved visibility while the interface still needs refinement

One thing I think Sweet Security can definitely improve is that they have a lot of features, but the UI right now is not so well designed in my opinion. It's a bit difficult to navigate and get to the signal. There is a lot of signal there, but it's a bit difficult to get to the correct place and understand what I am seeing. It has a small learning curve that I don't think such a product should have. It should be very straightforward. Sweet Security has a mechanism where they initially show all the vulnerabilities that are in my infrastructure, which they show as a huge number, maybe around ten thousand, and they narrow it down to which of these could actually be exploited and are actually severe. It's nice that they are able to narrow it down to a few incidents. However, they don't really need to show this in the UI. Maybe they can just show the actual signal and not show that there is a lot of vulnerabilities, but indicate which are important. That's good that they can do it, but it's not so important to see it every time in the platform.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to gain deep visibility into the workloads inside containers."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers valuable features like runtime notifications. These alerts come to my account, ensuring that if any port or component within my infrastructure is opened or compromised, I am informed immediately. It highlights issues within minutes or even seconds."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has saved up to 50 percent in engineering time."

"Cloud Native Security has helped us with our risk posture and securing our agenda. It has been tremendous in terms of supporting growth."

"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."

"The biggest benefit of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is that it has a good AI-based analytics engine that helps with the detection part by providing full visibility."

"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"Dome9 continues to be a major piece of our cloud security architecture and has given our senior leadership team a high degree of confidence in our ability to protect our cloud environment."

"Alerts of cloud activity happening across all accounts is helpful."

"Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP delivers strong visibility, clear risk prioritization, and real value in daily cloud security work."

"The comprehensive security for IaaS and PaaS cloud assets provides efficient security awareness to all the teams."

"The cloud security posture management identify the risks that are the most critical to our business. We can define certain key assets that are your crown jewels. And whenever something hits on these crown jewels, you get a very high score. So you can really fine tune towards protecting your risk based assets in the cloud."

"The system has deployed security tools to enhance effective investigations in the entire company networking system."

"I value the comfort and the ability to receive proper insights almost hands-off."

"The various CNAPP modules have granted more visibility of our cloud applications to our system engineers and developers."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP pros

"The value we see from having real-time visibility into our cloud environment is significant, as Sweet Security serves as our eyes and ears inside AWS, telling us what we are doing wrong so we can fix it."

"For the time I have been using Sweet Security, I feel a bit more safe in the sense that there is something that continuously scans my infrastructure for issues."

"The value of having real-time visibility in our cloud environment with Sweet Security changes everything because it differentiates between identifying and reacting to something that is not really a risk and something that is truly a risk that needs to be treated."

"Before we had Sweet Security, upon any type of detection of activity, we needed to conduct lots of investigations in different platforms and logs until we could build the larger picture, but once we inserted Sweet Security, we are able to actually see each and every request being made from the application level towards the infrastructure, making it much easier and reducing the time for an analyst to understand what's really happening."

Cons

"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."

"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."

"Response time can be improved because not all things are perfect in every product, whether CrowdStrike or Trend Micro."

"We've found a lot of false positives."

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has limited legacy system support and may not fully support older operating systems or legacy environments."

"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."

"The application module focuses on the different codes and libraries that can be run on the machines. It is very important for Singularity EDR to detect what type of codes and what type of libraries can run in the machine. If they can implement a white list or a black list of codes or libraries that can be used in the machine, it would be very helpful. They can focus more on the application module."

"The integration with Oracle has room for improvement."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The product must provide different features like antivirus."

"One feature of the product that I would like to enhance is the possibility to connect to vulnerability management platforms so that the issues that emerge from the scans can then be ingested directly into the vulnerability management process."

"Automation and advanced threat prevention have room for improvement."

"Down the road, we would like to see automation. That is probably a feature that most people want. If they can automate patching a vulnerability, it will be much easier."

"I don't have any notes for improvements."

"Their service needs improvement."

"I would appreciate a way to receive periodic updates, like through email. I am the kind of person who likes to receive data passively."

"I'd like to see more advanced encryption for local features, which is not present right now."

More Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP cons

"There was something a year ago that caused a production issue in my company, but they fixed it within an hour."

"The option to run specific playbooks through Sweet Security platform would help us a lot, but these must be fully customizable."

"One area for improvement could be the alerts, as we have an issue with the alert time, the time it takes for the system to send the alert, but besides that, there is nothing special."

"One thing I think Sweet Security can definitely improve is that they have a lot of features, but the UI right now is not so well designed in my opinion."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is somewhat high compared to other market tools."

"PingSafe is fairly priced."

"It's not cheap, but it is worth the price."

"SentinelOne provided competitive pricing compared to other vendors, and we are satisfied with the deal."

"PingSafe's primary advantage is its ability to consolidate multiple tools into a single user interface, but, beyond this convenience, it may not offer significant additional benefits to justify its price."

"The pricing for PingSafe in India was more reasonable than other competitors."

"The tool is cost-effective."

"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"The license fee is high."

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is expensive."

"The pricing is tremendous and super cheap. It is shockingly cheap for what you get out of it. I am happy with that. I hope that doesn't get reported back and they increase the prices. I love the pricing and the licensing makes sense. It is just assets: The more stuff that you have, the more you pay."

"Right now, we have licenses on 500 machines, and they are not cheap."

"The solution’s pricing is a little bit high."

"I suggest that you pay attention to the product pricing because while there are no tricks, and the licensing model is transparent, the final numbers may surprise you."

"Check Point CloudGuard Posture Management is always known as a good solution but an expensive one. When you're using Cisco, Check Point, or Palo Alto, you know that you will pay more, but you know that it will work."
