SentinelOne analysis links service disruption to software flaw
This story was originally published on Cybersecurity Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Cybersecurity Dive newsletter. SentinelOne said on Saturday that a global service disruption a few days earlier was the result of a software flaw in the company's infrastructure control system that led to a widespread loss of network connectivity. In a root-cause analysis report, the company said Thursday's major connectivity loss — which crippled its services worldwide — was not the result of a cyberattack. Instead, critical network routes and DNS resolver rules were deleted due to a software flaw in an automated process. SentinelOne is in the process of transitioning its production system to a new cloud-based architecture built on the principles of infrastructure as code. The company said a control system that will soon be deprecated was triggered by the creation of a new account. A software flaw in that control system's configuration comparison function misidentified discrepancies and applied what it believed to be the correct configuration state, overwriting prior network settings. The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said customer endpoints continued to operate but security teams were unable to access management consoles and other related services. This loss of access 'significantly impacted their ability to manage their security operations and access important data,' the company said. SentinelOne assured enterprise customers that their endpoints were protected and that no SentinelOne security data was lost during the outage. 'A core design principle of the SentinelOne architecture is to ensure protection and prevention capabilities continue uninterrupted without constant cloud connectivity or human dependency for detection and response — even in the case of service interruptions, of any kind, including events like this one,' the company said. The incident did not impact SentinelOne's federal customers, including those using GovCloud, according to the company, which said that it nonetheless alerted federal customers for situational-awareness and transparency purposes. The company provided a detailed timeline of the outage, showing that it began at 9:37 a.m. ET and was declared resolved by 4:05 p.m. ET. Analysts said the outage raised immediate concerns about transparency on the status of their respective security environments. 'Vendors must communicate quickly and transparently with customers during outages so they can appropriately prepare, plan, and communicate with executives about it,' Allie Mellen, principal analyst for security and risk at Forrester, told Cybersecurity Dive via email. 'Further, it's crucial that vendors have some out-of-band communication methods (for example, an independent, public status page) for updates on outages like these.' The outage comes at a time when software integrity and business continuity have become ongoing concerns in the cybersecurity and broader software industry. A flawed software update from CrowdStrike, a major SentinelOne competitor, crippled more than 8.5 million Microsoft Windows computers. In a July 2024 conference call, SentinelOne boasted about how it was fielding new customer inquiries in the aftermath of the CrowdStrike outage. CEO Tomer Weingarten said the concerns raised by that outage would 'play out for years' as companies addressed the liabilities and risk issues linked to the incident.

Outage disrupts some SentinelOne services
This story was originally published on Cybersecurity Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Cybersecurity Dive newsletter. SentinelOne said Thursday that an outage had affected consoles for enterprise customers across the world. The Mountain View, Calif.-based cybersecurity vendor said in a blog post that there was no reason to believe the incident was the result of a cyberattack. Customer endpoints were not affected, SentinelOne said, but the company's managed-response services did not have visibility during the outage. The incident also delayed the company's threat data reporting. SentinelOne apologized for the outage and provided updates to customers through a support portal. In a post at 3:41 p.m. EDT, the company said it had restored access to consoles and was working to make sure all services were operational. A spokesperson said the company will post an updated review of the outage in the near future Recommended Reading BeyondTrust, Cloudflare averted Okta attacks thanks to security chops Sign in to access your portfolio

Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

SentinelOne says services restored after hours-long outage
SentinelOne says its services have been restored following an hours-long outage today that took down its commercial customer consoles — the interface security teams use to monitor and manage protections across their networks. Why it matters: Without console access, teams were effectively flying blind — unable to view threat telemetry, assess incidents in progress, or take manual response actions. Yes, but: While security teams didn't have visibility, the products continued working in the background to block malicious activity. Security teams just couldn't see what was being blocked or flagged during the outage. The intrigue: One of SentinelOne's biggest competitors — CrowdStrike — suffered a major global outage last summer that knocked about 8.5 million Windows devices offline. SentinelOne has not yet disclosed the root cause of Thursday's outage, but said its early internal data suggests it was not caused by a malicious cyberattack. "We apologize for the inconvenience," the company wrote in a blog post Thursday during the outages. Driving the news: The outage came just one day after SentinelOne lowered its 2026 earnings forecast and missed expectations for quarterly annual recurring revenue in its latest earnings report. The company has also been in the spotlight in Washington this year after President Trump signed a memo calling for an investigation into former CISA Director Chris Krebs, who at the time was a top executive at SentinelOne. The big picture: SentinelOne is a publicly traded cybersecurity company that uses artificial intelligence to detect, prevent and respond to malicious activity across a company's devices, like a laptop or server.
