It's more scalable and flexible than our previous solution because we don't need to install any agents
Pros and Cons
  • "SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides email alerts and ranks issues based on severity, such as high, critical, etc., that help us prioritize issues."
  • "The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."

What is our primary use case?

We use SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for cloud security posture management. It's used for AWS use cases to prevent leaked credentials and unauthorized access to our S3 buckets. 

How has it helped my organization?

Before SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, we couldn't identify all of the hidden vulnerabilities on the endpoints. A manual approach was insufficient because we weren't getting everything. We were catching about 40 percent of the issues, and now it's up to almost 99 percent. 

What is most valuable?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides email alerts and ranks issues based on severity, such as high, critical, etc., that help us prioritize issues. SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's vulnerability scanning works well. 

What needs improvement?

The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity. For example, it might highlight an exposed AWS encryption key, a critical compliance issue, but it isn't tagged as a high-risk problem. That only happens about 10 percent of the time. It shows a true positive 80-90 percent of the time.

Offers a great dashboard and good UI
Pros and Cons
  • "The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
  • "The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement."

What is our primary use case?

My company is trying to get an ISO certification by the second quarter of 2024, so we have been resolving certain security issues for the past year.

I use the solution in my company, where we have alerts coming from SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, especially if any security threats are there. Our company's primary concern in using the tool is to get the ISO certification. My company wants to get our infrastructure to meet ISO standards so that there won't be any issues while getting ISO certification.

How has it helped my organization?

With the product in my organization, I feel that we are more secure now, and our services have become better. My company gets to know if we are doing something right or wrong based on the scans that SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security deploys. My company doesn't have to care much about security because SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security takes care of it for us. My company also knows what all the best practices are there for each resource, which gives us a boundary of what we can do.

What is most valuable?

Most of the time, I have looked at the tool's dashboard to keep an eye on how much of my company is compliant regarding certain areas since we are eyeing ISO 22000 and ISO 22001. I just love the tool's dashboard, though I have not used it in depth. I like the dashboard mainly, and I know that all sections of ISO certification have been completed. I have not used the tool that much, but under that dashboard itself if I just click on the certification part, which states that 93 percent has been completed, it will show me the subcategories of what all things are still pending or how much percentage of it is still pending, and how many areas are yet to be resolved in relation to some of the resources. The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features.

What needs improvement?

When I joined my organization, I saw that SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security was already implemented. I started to use the tool's alerting features and dashboard functionalities. Considering how much I used the product, I don't see any areas in it where improvements are required since everything seems fine.

Sometimes, there are alerts that don't have proper messaging attached. The tool can improve the alerting notifications. In SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, the alerts also show the affected resource that has a particular issue, but sometimes, the account shows as not applicable, and it isn't very helpful since you need to know the account the tool aims to point out.

The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for more than a year. My company is a customer of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

My company has not experienced bugs, downtime, or any other issues in the product.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a 7 out of 10.

My company's tech team consists of twelve people and around ten to twelve people use the product.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the technical support an 8-9 out of 10.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The solution is deployed using the cloud services offered by AWS.

What other advice do I have?

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security regularly sends us messages on Slack for cloud security monitoring if it finds a certain security threat. If the area revolving around the security threat is something my company wants to look into, we just quickly check the product to see if there is a quick fix, and if there are no solutions, then we find a way to deal with it. A person from our company's team regularly tries to fix all the issues raised by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security so that it is ISO compatible, and right now, my company is close to achieving it.

Speaking about the issues my company was trying to resolve by implementing SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security in our environment, I would say that whatever issues the tool has raised till now are related to certain policies that we might not have implemented in our IAM. There should only be certain roles that can access certain resources. The aforementioned area consists of the types of issues my company is currently trying to resolve so that we stay up to the mark. In my company, we don't have any regular threats that come up, but they are mainly used in regard to policies.

Considering how much I have used it to date, I can say that it is an easy-to-use product. However, I have not used the product in-depth, so I can't comment much about it.

If I assess the evidence-based reporting for helping prioritize and solve important cloud security issues, I would say that the concerns raised by the product are valid ones, and it is important to deal with them. Though I am not sure what the question entails, I feel that the issues raised by the product are proper, and they should be resolved before actually implementing its features.

I think it is very important for the solution to include proof of exploitability in evidence-based reporting. You have to know what things might go wrong if an issue is not resolved, and it makes it easier for us to assess key issues and to decide which areas should be taken into priority, considering what potential issues might crop up in the long run or short term. In general, SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is a quite helpful tool.

The most valuable feature of the tool in terms of real-time threat detection stems from the alerts my company receives via Slack. I think the alert feature is something I have majorly looked into, but I haven't explored many of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security'd features.

Whether the compliance monitoring capabilities of the tool have benefited our organization or not is something that we will get to know soon via its results in the next two or three months. My company is very close to getting ISO certification with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security's help. I think if it gave our company a demo compliance feature, it could be helpful.

The product's UI is good if I speak about the impact of its ease of use on security operations. The UI is very easy to navigate. Basically, I was able to navigate through the tool's dashboard. Overall, the tool's UI structure looks good.

My company has rarely had to deal with an incident involving a false positive with SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security in place, and I believe that it happened at the end of the previous year. After that, my company didn't need to deal with any false positives. With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, the chances of seeing a false positive are rare.

In terms of risk posture, after going through the recommendations provided by SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security during the implementation phase, I feel that my solution has helped my company get better and more secure because now we are less vulnerable to attacks. Overall, I think that the product is good for improving an organization's risk posture. In my company, we don't have any doubts about using the product since everything feels right with it.

The tool has reduced the mean time to detect risks since, with the use of the tool, it has become faster as it is now done automatically. In my company, I operate in a very small team where we don't have a specific person or department giving us insights about a particular tool. The tool has reduced the mean time to detect risks by more than 50 percent. My company never scanned our own infrastructure until SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security did. Until my company had it in mind that we wanted to get an ISO certification, we never scanned our infrastructure.

The mean time required to remediate is an area that has improved a lot. My company has never tried to resolve any issues since we have never detected any problems. The mean time to remediate has improved by more than 50 percent.

The product can make the collaboration between cloud security application developers and AppSec teams better. In my company, we only have one team, and we don't have a few departments.

The product has helped my company save a lot of engineering time because we don't have to put up physical resources to do many things, as they are managed automatically. In my company, we just have to employ one engineer to resolve everything. My company doesn't actually have to spend time detecting issues and then solving them as the tool solves them for us.

I have not integrated the tool with the existing solutions in my company's infrastructure or workflows. I use it as a standalone product in my company.

The product is used in just one location.

I don't think that the product requires any maintenance. I don't think that my company does any maintenance for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. I think the tool has a very good alerting system. The tool also gives a proper description of resources and alerts. I think that the tool is very good for meeting the certification compliance requirements.

I rate the overall tool a 9 out of 10.

Custom correlation searches enhance threat detection efficiency
Pros and Cons
  • "Singularity Cloud's ability to create custom correlation searches and reduce noise is highly valuable."
  • "While the future roadmap presented by SentinelOne appears promising, I hope the envisioned advancements are realistically achievable and that the gap between current offerings and long-term goals is not too significant."

What is our primary use case?

As a senior IT security director, I oversee the governance and guidance of security deployments, including the development and implementation of use cases. My primary guiding principle, which is shared by my team, is to prioritize visibility. This translates into our use of SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to gain comprehensive visibility across our hybrid infrastructure including cloud, on-premises, and end-user workstations. Ultimately, visibility is the main driver of our security strategy.

How has it helped my organization?

Singularity Cloud Security significantly reduced our organization's threat detection time by providing immediate data visibility. This allows our team to analyze telemetry in real-time, query it, and identify anomalies or potential threats using the Singularity platform. We can create rules that automatically trigger alerts based on this real-time data, enabling immediate response. This instant threat detection and response capability is a major improvement over our previous reliance on multiple tools with delayed data flows. Singularity Cloud Security eliminates those delays, saving valuable time in incident response scenarios.

MTTR and MTTD are critical metrics for incident response processes. They measure the time it takes to fully address an incident, from initial detection to complete remediation. Minimizing these times is crucial to limit damage, as attackers can quickly exploit vulnerabilities and compromise additional systems. Rapid detection and response are essential to disrupt attackers and prevent further progression within the attack chain.

Singularity Cloud helps reduce false positives by allowing engineers direct access to data. This access enables querying, validation, and the creation of correlation searches for improved data analysis. Instead of a black box approach, Singularity provides full visibility into the code and syntax used, increasing confidence in the results. Ultimately, Singularity offers greater control over correlation searches, detection rules, and response scenarios due to the enhanced engagement and control it provides.

Singularity's ability to create custom correlation searches significantly reduces noise by avoiding reliance on generic, pre-built searches that often lead to false positives in diverse organizational environments. This targeted approach results in a high positive rate and efficacy, allowing for focused detection and response. By designing and running custom searches, Singularity minimizes the need to sift through irrelevant alerts, unlike systems using default rules that inundate analysts with noise. This translates to a very low noise-to-efficacy ratio, enabling efficient and accurate incident response.

Singularity Cloud offers valuable data and capabilities extending beyond security, benefiting various business units. For example, it helped troubleshoot a newly introduced service with limited telemetry. My team created custom correlation searches to track specific event types, confirming the software's functionality. This success garnered positive feedback throughout the company, reaching even the CIO and CSR, as it enabled the business to showcase the software's effectiveness in a way that was previously impossible.

SentinelOne improves our regulatory compliance by fulfilling the endpoint detection and response requirements of various frameworks. Many federal regulations require businesses to meet specific security standards, including those related to endpoint, identity, and cloud security. SentinelOne enables us to meet these requirements and assure potential partners that we have a robust security posture. This strengthens our partnerships and streamlines procurement processes, demonstrating how SentinelOne contributes to our compliance efforts.

SentinelOne's evidence-based reporting, particularly the CNS reports, fosters trust due to the transparency of the data source and the ability to understand the underlying mechanisms. Knowing the search criteria, data types, and information gathering process, especially when customized for detection engineering, creates confidence in the product and the relationship with SentinelOne. This transparency and customization allow users to delve into the mechanics of the reporting, understand its functionality, and ultimately trust the evidence provided.

AI is a crucial consideration for security strategies. While some view AI as a potential replacement for human analysts, others see it as a powerful tool to enhance their capabilities. The latter approach emphasizes AI's ability to accelerate incident response, improve threat detection, and provide valuable insights to analysts. This perspective suggests that AI should be used to augment human expertise, enabling analysts to make faster and more informed decisions, particularly in prioritizing threats and developing a sixth sense for identifying malicious activity. By integrating AI as an enabler, organizations can empower their security teams to become more efficient and effective, ultimately strengthening their overall security posture.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Prior to SentinelOne, we did not use an EDR vendor. Four years ago, ransomware became increasingly prevalent, transitioning from a niche topic in IT news to a major concern covered by prominent media outlets like CNN and the Wall Street Journal. This heightened awareness led to increased pressure from company leadership, demanding strategies to mitigate the risk of ransomware attacks. Consequently, we sought an EDR solution to bolster our security posture. SentinelOne was selected over two competitors due to its superior detection capabilities, customization options, and competitive pricing, all critical factors considering our budgetary constraints. In retrospect, I believe we made the correct decision.

We evaluated two other competitors before choosing SentinelOne based on detection capabilities, customization opportunities, and competitive pricing.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security nine out of ten.

Currently, our cloud workload protection system is deployed for visibility only, without blocking capabilities or enforced policies. While we are not yet utilizing its full protection potential, this proactive approach allows our development, IT, and quality teams to gradually transition to containerized workloads over the next few years. SentinelOne's cloud workload protection tools provide the necessary functionality to secure our environment as teams adopt modern serverless methodologies. Although full implementation is an ongoing effort, having these tools in place ensures we can confidently secure our evolving infrastructure.

We've thoroughly enjoyed our four-year partnership with SentinelOne. Their account management and readily available engineering support have been exemplary, setting a high standard for customer service. While escalations can sometimes experience delays, their responsiveness has been the best we've encountered. The entire organization, from account managers and engineers to the managed detection response service, operates cohesively.

Cloud security is challenging, especially in multi-cloud environments, but as we use a single cloud provider, we leverage native security tools for detection and visibility. While we initially considered cloud-native protection unnecessary, we realized the limitations of relying solely on our provider's knowledge and visibility. Their data is inherently limited by their own experience. SentinelOne, with its global customer base across various cloud providers, offers broader threat intelligence. Learning from attacks across all cloud platforms, like Amazon, Azure, and Google, is crucial for a comprehensive security posture. By partnering with SentinelOne, we gain access to this wider threat landscape and benefit from a learned security environment.

Our organization relies on Azure services. A key advantage of SentinelOne is its ability to serve customers across various data centers, including those hosted by Azure and Amazon.

I recommend colleagues and professionals in information security give SentinelOne a try, as they will quickly see the benefits, especially if not working with modern cloud-based solutions. SentinelOne's capabilities in visibility and detection make it a valuable addition to any security strategy.

SentinelOne's openness to customer feedback is impressive. I've served on other customer advisory boards, even for competitors, but SentinelOne stands out. They actively involve customers in shaping their products, including the user interface, detection rules, and Singularity AI Cloud components. This customer-centric approach fosters a mutually beneficial relationship where customer feedback directly enhances the security solutions. I encourage all SentinelOne customers to explore opportunities like beta testing, advisory boards, or UX feedback programs. The company's success translates to improved security for organizations like mine, and the close collaboration builds a strong, valuable partnership. Seeing our feedback implemented in their products is truly remarkable.

Gives us better visibility into our resources and enables faster resolution
Pros and Cons
  • "Our organization is growing steadily, so our infrastructure is expanding, and we're managing more technical resources. Singularity Cloud Security helps us track our resources so that we don't get lost in the overwhelming volume of things and ensures we follow best practices. The solution gives us better visibility into our resources and enables faster resolution."
  • "I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."

What is our primary use case?

We use Singularity Cloud Security to monitor our infrastructure and ensure it meets all security and compliance standards. The solution helps us maintain and strengthen our security posture. Singularity covers our AWS environment, Kubernetes clusters, and some of our GitHub repositories.

How has it helped my organization?

Our organization is growing steadily, so our infrastructure is expanding, and we're managing more technical resources. Singularity Cloud Security helps us track our resources so that we don't get lost in the overwhelming volume of things and ensures we follow best practices. The solution gives us better visibility into our resources and enables faster resolution. 

Another advantage of Singularity is compliance. I work in the payments industry, where regulations are strict.  Maintaining everything and ensuring all the resources meet compliance standards is challenging, but Singularity Cloud Security enables us to do that while saving a lot of time. 

Singularity has helped us reduce false positives, but it has also introduced some. Still, it's significantly less than many of the other tools we use. If we deal with fewer false positives, the technicians have more bandwidth to work on real issues. We don't need to spend time on the analysis and can focus on fixing the vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance. 

The solution has improved our security posture considerably. In the finance industry, we can't function if we aren't compliant. The better our security posture is, the more compliant we are. By reducing vulnerabilities, we have eliminated risk factors in our systems.

Our remediation time is shorter. It's easier to identify vulnerabilities. We don't need to do much analysis before fixing vulnerabilities. About 90 percent of the time, we can identify the correct problem instantly and begin remedying the finding. It has saved a lot of time. It takes us only one or two days to remedy critical issues, whereas it previously took two weeks. Our mean detection time has dropped from about a week to one or two days.

The solution has given us a lot of insight into cloud security. It shows us some best practices that many people in the company do not know. Singularity finds those weak spots and educates us on the latest best practices to follow. The next time we deploy changes to our infrastructure, we change our policies and designs based on the recommendations. 

What is most valuable?

Singularity Cloud Security's UI is clean, simple, and easy to use. When I started using it, I found it easy to learn what things are. Everything is explained in detail. It's always up to date with the latest technologies, such as AWS Kubernetes. They keep on top of trends with new features and updates.

The solution has a mapping feature that allows me to write my own queries and better understand my resources. It also offers some help with security controls on their end, suggesting best practices that you can use to write custom queries or standards. We have the flexibility to customize our infrastructure based on our needs. 

Singularity's evidence-based reporting rates my alerts so I can see which ones to prioritize and identify the critical vulnerabilities. It provides a highly detailed description of each vulnerability and the resolution steps. I can triage all the findings from one place and apply different filters based on my preferences.

The offensive security engine is another major feature. We use it for our infrastructure and machines to see if we have an exposure or liability. It takes some time, but the vulnerability reports are highly accurate. It saves us some time because we don't need to verify all the vulnerabilities. We just have to go fix them.

What needs improvement?

The detection time could be better. It takes a long time to scan. I'm not sure how long other tools take for the same amount of scanning, so I cannot compare it with other tools, but it takes us half a day to a full day to complete the scan. I want to get the reports faster so we can start fixing the problems. 

The proof of exploitability is another area for improvement. While I have all the information to troubleshoot the problem, it isn't detailed enough for an administrator. It has sufficient information for a general user, but an administrator would like to know all the ins and outs of the vulnerabilities that have been reported. 

I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used Singularity Cloud Security for about eight months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't seen any major stability problems. There are some minor issues but they are rare. Overall, it has been a smooth experience.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Singularity is scalable. It has one UI that can be integrated easily with multiple backends, so we have all the data in one place and we can do whatever we want with it. 

How are customer service and support?

I rate SentinelOne support eight out of 10. Their support team is proactive. It has been a while since I connected with them. They helped me with all my questions quickly. It was an excellent experience. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have worked on other infrastructure-as-code tools and other tools for various functions that Singularity performs, such an AWS Inspector, but now we use Singularity for most of it. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not a very complex process. Because of the large number of resources, we have so many places where we need to integrate the solution repeatedly. It's easy to set up new places or add integrations. The initial setup took two to four weeks. That was how long it took to go back and forth and cover everything. 

We did a PoC first, which wasn't very hard. Our deployment team consisted of three or four people. The vendor team was very helpful when they deployed everything on our infrastructure. They helped us set up all the necessary permissions. 

What was our ROI?

The return on investment has been good. Singularity offers a lot of flexibility to focus on different aspects because it gives us a lot of information and helps us maintain the observability of all our resources. That is something that we value because of the sheer volume of resources we have. We couldn't do that manually or using some other tools. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate SentinelOne Singularity seven out of 10. It's a solid product and I recommend checking it out. It has some excellent features, observability, metrics, etc. It's very cool.

It is helpful that Singularity Cloud Security includes proof of exploitability in the evidence-based reporting. Although it isn't perfect, it gives us the right solution to mitigate vulnerability.

Our infrastructure configuration is defined using an Infrastructure as Code template. This template allows us to scan our entire infrastructure for potential issues, including pre-production problems within templates or container configuration files. Previously, we stored infrastructure details in a format that required manual data retrieval via CSV files. Now, with IaC, we have a centralized control system that manages multiple accounts and provides vulnerability listings based on severity for each account.

Our previous default AWS security tool wasn't sufficient, so we adopted Singularity Cloud Security based on a client recommendation. It's been a huge improvement. Whereas our old tool took three months to gather data, Singularity Cloud Security provides a daily updated dashboard with vulnerability information. This allows us to prioritize and address security risks based on criticality, saving us significant time and effort compared to the past.

Singularity Cloud Security has helped reduce the number of false positives by 70 percent.

Singularity Cloud Security streamlines manual work by providing insightful information on security vulnerabilities. It not only identifies issues we might miss but also offers in-depth analysis, including potential future costs and the severity of the threat. Additionally, it presents basic details tailored for users with less security expertise, empowering them to understand and address vulnerabilities effectively.
