SentinelOne launches security tool for AWS Fargate

AI-powered security provider SentinelOne has launched a new offering designed to provide real-time protection for secure containerised workloads running on Amazon Web Services’ Fargate platform.

The new solution, Singularity Cloud Workload Security for Serverless Containers, uses SentinelOne’s Purple AI generative AI security analyst platform to provide autonomous tools designed to accelerate security teams’ threat hunting and investigations.

It promises to reduce mean time to response following detections, and can help security teams triage threats to prioritise the most pressing concerns.

SentinelOne VP for Cloud Security Product Management Ely Kahn said businesses often erroneously think ephemeral containerised workloads are inherently secure due to their short-lived nature. But he said this is not the case as attackers can compromise such containers within seconds and use the foothold to look for higher-value, longer-living resources.

“Enterprises of all sizes are increasingly moving toward serverless infrastructure services to accelerate innovation at scale, and it is critical that these resources are protected,” he said. “With AWS Fargate, developers can focus on building applications without managing servers and get ideas into production more quickly, and with SentinelOne, they can be sure they do so securely.”

Cloud Workload Security is part of SentinelOne’s cloud security portfolio, which includes Singularity Cloud Native Security and Singularity Cloud Data Security. The solution is designed to sit on top of SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform and Singularity Data Lake.
