Cybereason: An Uncertain Future and Execution Challenges
Cybereason
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.
No AI Assistant
Cybereason does not offer an AI assistant to support faster investigations. It also lacks embedded AI for insights across telemetry data.
Single Agent and Flexible Deployment
SentinelOne delivers a single, lightweight agent that can be deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or in air-gapped environments. The Singularity Platform delivers multiple role-based access control (RBAC) mechanisms, and offers centralized, granular policy administration.
Challenging and Tedious
Cybereason’s customers have reported integration challenges upon deployment, and the console has been reviewed as difficult to use, with less-granular policy offerings (defaults on/off). RBAC capabilities are also limited, restricting the ability to define highly specific administrative roles.
Industry-Leading, Real-Time and Autonomous
SentinelOne delivers AI-powered protection, and real-time detection, as well as the industry's best signal-to-noise ratio (as seen in the most recent MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations). Its lightweight agent is specifically designed for minimal user impact.
Platform Gaps and Performance Impact
Cybereason relies heavily on manual, human-driven investigations and responses, with OEM partnerships for prevention capabilities. There have also been documented performance challenges on endpoint workstations, including slower computer launch times and general system impact, potentially affecting user experience.
Fast and Easy Investigations, Powered by Purple AI
Purple AI’s threat hunting quick starts, AI-enriched alert summaries, and guided investigations allow analysts to easily conduct deeper investigations and scale response.
Storyline® automatically links related events and delivers real-time, actionable correlation and context.
Limited Forensic Capabilities
Cybereason lacks a dedicated, comprehensive forensic module for in-depth data collection and investigation. It is also dependent on third parties for extended DFIR cases.
Lightning-Fast, Automated 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.
Manual Remediation Steps
Response often requires manual steps from security teams, and it lacks autonomous, instant rollback capabilities to undo specific changes from attacks.
The Standard in Security Excellence
Tried and trusted by the industry's leading authorities, analysts, and associations.
