SentinelOne vs
Arctic Wolf Aurora
Arctic Wolf Aurora: Stalled Innovation
Innovation has stalled, and the on-premises solution has been sunset at Arctic Wolf Aurora (formerly known as Cylance). The legacy provider will now focus on managed service rather than innovating its underlying technology. See why SentinelOne is the ideal Arctic Wolf alternative.
Arctic Wolf Aurora (formerly Cylance)
Intuitive, Unified Platform
Eliminate the overhead and administrative burden of managing multiple products. SentinelOne delivers a single, lightweight agent and an intuitive, cloud-native console for deep visibility across your entire enterprise—from endpoints to cloud to identity.
A Point Product
Arctic Wolf Aurora is focused solely on the endpoint. It has no native cloud security, identity security, or SIEM capabilities. To build a comprehensive security program, customers must purchase and integrate other third-party tools, creating complexity and data silos.
Purple AI is the Most Advanced AI Security Analyst
Accelerate SecOps with natural language querying on first- and third-party data, hunting quick starts, natural language summaries of results and events, and suggested follow-up questions. Customers have unlimited queries, and it’s all included in Singularity Complete.
AI Still in Beta and Not Integrated
New AI assistant, Cipher, is still in beta. It appears to only generate text responses and isn’t fully integrated into the platform just yet. This means analyst workflows remain manual, requiring significant expertise to hunt for threats and interpret complex data (to the extent data is even available).
Single Agent and Flexible Deployment
SentinelOne delivers a single, lightweight agent with superior behavioral detection models and on-device AI to deliver highly accurate, real-time threat detections and fewer alerts. Customers can deploy in the cloud, on-premises, hybrid, or air-gapped environments.
On-Premises Solution Is Going Away
Cylance's on-premises solution is being phased out. For customers who depend on on-premises or hybrid deployments, this represents a significant gap.
Deep Visibility and Blocked Threats With Behavioral AI
SentinelOne’s Behavioral AI engines autonomously detect and block malicious activity in real-time—even zero-day and fileless attacks. Its single agent provides deep visibility and context across your entire enterprise—from endpoints to cloud to identity.
Limited Visibility and Static Protection
Arctic Wolf Aurora has critically limited post-execution visibility. If a threat bypasses its pre-execution engine, the platform provides very little visibility, lacking the deep forensic data and root cause analysis capabilities of a true EDR.
Lightning-Fast Remediation
When a threat is detected, SentinelOne’s extensive automation and one-click remediation and rollback feature instantly reverses malicious changes, drastically outperforming manual remediation processes.
Limited Data Leaves Teams In The Dark
Arctic Wolf Aurora lacks deep forensic data and visibility after an attack. It has historically provided very little capability for a security operations center (SOC) to respond to a threat.

Tried and trusted by the industry's leading authorities, analysts, and associations.
