what is sentinelone agent

SentinelOne agent is a software program that is deployed to each endpoint, including desktop, laptop, server, or virtual environment, and runs autonomously on each device. It is a dedicated software program that monitors all the progress in real-time and performs analyses to protect endpoints from both known and unknown threats. SentinelOne is an antivirus and an EDR platform that offers advanced security features to protect workloads running on Windows Server. It is a managed anti-malware agent that is configured with setting policies through a SentinelOne console used by ITS to administer the software. SentinelOne offers protection for macOS Big Sur (11.0) and later, and it protects computers and data with anti-malware and anti-exploit protection. The SentinelOne agent continually receives intelligence updates from SentinelOne servers, and it is very lightweight on resources and offers minimal to no impact on work. SentinelOne does not use traditional signatures from antivirus software to identify malicious attacks, but instead uses a medley of static machine learning analyses and behavioral tracking engines. SentinelOne is used for detection, protection, and threat blocking, and it is used to provide cybersecurity protection to SMBs predominantly in the financial, manufacturing, and retail industry as well as private individuals.
