The Gold Standard of Enterprise Defense: Inside Yahoo’s Hybrid Security Transformation with SentinelOne

This brief distills five core findings from the 2026 451 Research Report on how agentic security platforms are transforming the SOC. Each finding is anchored in data and organized around a single architectural conclusion: the platform that enables AI returns and the platform that secures them are increasingly the same platform.

For the second year, SentinelOne commissioned 451 Research to survey 611 North American security decision-makers on the state of AI in the SOC. The full report covers platform consolidation trends, AI maturity and sequencing, the data barriers stalling operationalization, the analyst experience shift, and the attack surface AI deployment creates.

In this webinar, Latio founder and analyst James Berthoty shares findings from the 2026 Latio Security Operations Report, where SentinelOne was named a SOC Platform Leader — recognizing its ability to unify EDR, SIEM, XDR, and MDR in a single, searchable data architecture. Then, SentinelOne's Anthony La Scala takes you inside the platform to show what that looks like in practice: from proactive hardening and offensive testing to cross-domain investigation with Purple AI reasoning across a unified data plane , and AI security coverage — all from one place.

In this session, SentinelOne Principal Evangelist Chris Hosking and Senior Manager of Solutions Engineering Carlos Payés cut through the regulatory complexity to give CISOs a clear, actionable picture of what the EU AI Act demands, where enterprises are most exposed, and how visibility and governance over AI usage is now a security imperative, not just a compliance checkbox. You will leave with: A working understanding of how the EU AI Act classifies risk and what deployer obligations actually mean for your organisation A clear view of the shadow AI problem and why you cannot comply with what you cannot see A practical baseline for AI security governance that maps to both regulatory requirements and real-world enterprise risk This is a security leader's guide to acting now, before enforcement begins.
