Insight Partners：领投SentinelOne 并购Recorded Future

【190605 SiliconAngle】SentinelOne Inc., a fast-growing player in the endpoint security market, today revealed that it has raised a $120 million round of funding led by Insight Partners.

SentinelOne是一家快速增长的端点安全市场参与者，今天透露它已经筹集了由Insight Partners领投的1.2亿美元融资。

All of the startup’s existing investors participated along with new backers Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and NextEquity. The round brings its total raised to nearly $230 million.

所有初创公司的现有投资者以及新的支持者三星电子有限公司和NextEquity都上市。该轮融资总额增加至近2.3亿美元。

Mountain View, California-based SentinelOne provides a platform for securing the various endpoints connected to a company’s network, from employee laptops and phones to cloud infrastructure. The software uses artificial intelligence to hunt for potential threats. Its algorithms analyze the behavior of the workloads on each device, as well as the way those workloads interact with one another, to identify abnormal activity that may indicate a breach.

总部位于加利福尼亚州山景城的SentinelOne提供了一个平台，用于保护连接到公司网络的各种终端，从员工笔记本电脑和手机到云基础设施。该软件使用人工智能来寻找潜在的威胁。其算法分析每个设备上的工作负载的行为，以及这些工作负载彼此交互的方式，以识别可能表明存在违规的异常活动。

SentinelOne has significantly expanded the platform’s capabilities over recent months. In March, the startup launched Ranger, a module for tracking down devices that were connected to the corporate network without the security team’s knowledge or approval. Earlier, SentinelOne launched an automation tool that can detect and stop certain types of cyberattacks without any human input.

最近几个月，SentinelOne显着扩展了平台的功能。 3月份，该创业公司推出了Ranger，这是一个模块，用于在没有安全团队知情或批准的情况下跟踪连接到公司网络的设备。早些时候，SentinelOne推出了一种自动化工具，可以检测并阻止某些类型的网络攻击而无需任何人为输入。

The startup claims that its platform provides protection against a broad spectrum of threats ranging from malware-laced documents to hackers armed with zero-day exploits, those that haven’t been encountered before. The offering is also touted as being relatively simple to use. Setting up SentinelOne only requires administrators to install a single piece of software on the devices they wish to protect, whereas legacy security products often necessitate multiple software agents or specalized hardware.

该创业公司声称其平台可以抵御各种各样的威胁，从恶意软件文件到拥有零日攻击的黑客，以及之前没有过的黑客。该产品也被吹捧为使用起来相对简单。设置SentinelOne只需要管理员在他们希望保护的设备上安装单个软件，而传统安全产品通常需要多个软件代理或特定硬件。

SentinelOne has racked up more than 2,500 customers so far. The startup claims that it saw annual recurring revenues more than double in the past year, while bookings from Fortune 500 companies jumped by 140%.

到目前为止，SentinelOne已经吸引了超过2,500名客户。该创业公司声称其去年的经常性收入增长了一倍以上，而财富500强公司的预订量增长了140％。

SentinelOne’s $120 million round represents the latest major cybersecurity bet from lead investor Insight Partners, which last Thursday acquired threat intelligence provider Recorded Future Inc. for $780 million. The past week has also seen a number of other high-profile deals in this market. Palo Alto Networks Inc. bought cloud security startups Twistlock Inc. and PureSec Inc. to bolster its product portfolio, while FireEye Inc. picked up network monitoring specialist Verodin Inc. for $250 million.

SentinelOne的1.2亿美元轮次代表了领先投资者Insight Partners的最新主要网络安全赌注，该公司上周四以7.8亿美元收购了威胁情报提供商Recorded Future Inc.。过去一周，该市场也出现了许多其他高调交易。 Alto Networks公司收购了云安全创业公司Twistlock Inc.和PureSec Inc.以支持其产品组合，而FireEye Inc.以2.5亿美元收购了网络监控专家Verodin Inc.。
