SentinelOne to Acquire Prompt Security to Advance GenAI Security and Agent Security Strategy
SentinelOne, a global leader in AI-powered security, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Prompt Security, a pioneer in securing AI in runtime, preventing AI-related data leakage and protecting intelligent agents. The deal is part of SentinelOne's strategy to extend its AI-native Singularity Platform to secure the rapidly growing use of generative (GenAI) and agentic AI in the workplace. This includes real-time visibility into how AI tools are accessed, what data is being shared, and automated enforcement to prevent prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and misuse without slowing innovation. By adding Prompt Security's capabilities, SentinelOne can give CISOs and IT leaders the control they need to enable safe adoption at scale, while unlocking a new frontier of growth and platform expansion for SentinelOne and its partners. Prompt Security enables organizations to gain immediate visibility to all GenAI usage in the enterprise, and to secure and control employee usage of AI, eliminate shadow AI risks and confidently embrace tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Cursor, and other custom LLMs, without compromising visibility, security, or control. By combining SentinelOne's industry-leading AI-powered endpoint, cloud, data and SecOps capabilities with Prompt Security's groundbreaking AI defense platform, the company will be positioned to deliver the most comprehensive approach to securing AI in the modern enterprise, from infrastructure to usage. 'AI is the most transformative force in the world today, but without security, it becomes a liability,' said Tomer Weingarten, CEO of SentinelOne. 'With Prompt Security, we're making it possible for every company to fully embrace GenAI and agentic AI without compromising safety and security. This is the foundation for secure AI adoption at scale.' Prompt Security's technology is purpose-built to solve one of the most urgent and underserved challenges in enterprise security today: protecting against the inherent risks in AI adoption. Its technology helps organizations embrace GenAI usage by integrating across browsers, desktop applications, and APIs to give organizations observability, enforcement, and automated protection. Unlike traditional security solutions, this approach provides real-time protection at the point of interaction, helping organizations stop prompt injections, data leakage and misuse before they escalate. This seamless design is highly complementary to SentinelOne's endpoint platform and creates a unique, integrated layer for GenAI, delivering combined value in a way no other solution on the market can match. With Prompt Security's capabilities, SentinelOne will give customers: · Real-time AI visibility into how AI is being used across the enterprise, including who is using which tools, what data they are sharing, and how AI agents are responding, complementing SentinelOne's existing endpoint capabilities and accelerating its GenAI DLP. · Policy-based controls to enforce safe use, block high-risk prompts, and prevent data leakage in real time. · AI Attack prevention against threats like prompt injection, malicious output manipulation, and model abuse. · Model-agnostic coverage across all major LLM providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, as well as self-hosted or on-prem models. · MCP gateway security between AI applications and more than 13,000 known MCP servers, intercepting every call, prompt template, and response. Redefining Cybersecurity for the Age of AI This acquisition cements SentinelOne's leadership in securing the modern enterprise from endpoint to cloud to identity, and now to GenAI and agentic AI. Since its founding, SentinelOne has pioneered the use of AI to help security teams redefine how they do their jobs by detecting and responding to novel and sophisticated threats at machine speed. The company was also the first pure cybersecurity player to introduce agentic and GenAI into its platform, dramatically simplifying and speeding the triage, investigation and remediation of threats across all attack surfaces, moves that upleveled all security analysts in the SOC. Now, with the acquisition of Prompt Security, SentinelOne is looking to help those same security teams empower the very employees they protect by giving them a secure way to embrace AI tool usage and AI agents in the workplace. 'As enterprise adoption of GenAI and agentic AI accelerates, the security and privacy risks are rapidly shifting from theoretical to operational,' said Itamar Golan, CEO and co-founder of Prompt Security. 'SentinelOne shares our passion for empowering teams and organizations to embrace AI as a distinct advantage, while delivering real-time, automated protection built for the AI-native world. By bringing together our pioneering technology with SentinelOne's incredible platform, team, channel and customer base, we can make AI security a reality for virtually every organization in the world.' Transaction Details SentinelOne will acquire Prompt for a combination of cash and stock. The transaction is expected to close in SentinelOne's third quarter of fiscal year 2026, subject to any applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

S Q1 Earnings Call: SentinelOne Addresses Sales Cycle Delays Amid Macro Uncertainty
Cyber security company SentinelOne (NYSE:S) missed Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, but sales rose 22.9% year on year to $229 million. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.02 per share was in line with analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy S? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $229 million (22.9% year-on-year growth) Adjusted EPS: $0.02 vs analyst estimates of $0.02 (in line) Adjusted Operating Income: -$3.93 million vs analyst estimates of -$3.76 million (-1.7% margin, relatively in line) Revenue Guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $242 million at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $244.8 million Operating Margin: -38.2%, up from -43.3% in the same quarter last year Customers: 1,459 customers paying more than $100,000 annually Annual Recurring Revenue: $948.1 million at quarter end, up 24.4% year on year Market Capitalization: $6.65 billion SentinelOne's first quarter performance was shaped by increased adoption of its AI-driven security platform across large enterprises and mid-market customers, as well as ongoing customer expansion in cloud and data security. CEO Tomer Weingarten highlighted triple-digit bookings growth for Purple AI and a milestone of over $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for the company's data solutions. Management acknowledged that elongated sales cycles, especially for larger enterprise deals, impacted net new ARR growth. Weingarten attributed these delays chiefly to customers pausing spending decisions in response to wider economic uncertainty, emphasizing, 'We have not seen project cancellations or lost deals, and our win rates remain strong.' Looking ahead, SentinelOne's guidance incorporates a cautious view of the macroeconomic environment, with management noting a measured outlook due to unpredictable customer purchasing behavior. CFO Barbara Larson explained that the company's revenue forecast accounts for recent volatility and the possibility of further disruption, but also pointed to improved sales trends in May and a robust pipeline for the rest of the year. Management expects ongoing growth in platform adoption and continued momentum in AI and cloud security to support revenue expansion, while investments in automation and operational efficiency are projected to yield further margin improvements. Larson stated, 'We remain focused on instilling operational discipline and enhancing efficiency across the business.' Management cited platform innovation and expanded AI capabilities as key drivers of customer adoption, while also noting that delayed purchasing decisions in April contributed to lower net new ARR. AI-powered product traction: SentinelOne's Purple AI solution saw triple-digit year-over-year bookings growth, with an attach rate exceeding 25% of subscriptions sold in the quarter, indicating strong customer demand for AI-based threat detection and response. Cloud and data suite expansion: The company launched its unified cloud security suite, integrating workload, posture, detection, and AI security into a single platform, which management says makes deployments simpler and broadens market appeal. Data solutions surpassed $100 million in ARR, driven by customers seeking modern alternatives to legacy SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) products. Enterprise and mid-market momentum: Large enterprise customer wins included displacements of incumbent vendors and consolidation of security tools, while the mid-market segment maintained healthy expansion rates. Management highlighted higher ARR per customer and longer contract durations as evidence of increasing platform adoption. Partner ecosystem development: SentinelOne introduced the Partner One program to strengthen relationships with managed service providers, incident responders, value-added resellers, and technology partners. The company believes this initiative will expand its reach and make its platform more accessible. Public sector opportunities and challenges: Achieving FedRAMP High authorization for multiple products positions SentinelOne to compete for sensitive U.S. government contracts. However, management noted that ongoing federal budget uncertainty is elongating sales cycles in the public sector. SentinelOne's outlook is driven by expectations for continued adoption of its AI and cloud security solutions, balanced by ongoing caution regarding customer purchasing behavior and macroeconomic headwinds. AI and platform expansion: Management expects further growth from new and existing customers adopting AI-powered modules and broader platform offerings, with ongoing product enhancements aiming to increase deal sizes and customer retention. Operational efficiency focus: Investments in automation and cost discipline are projected to drive margin improvements, with management reiterating a target for full-year operating margin to improve by over 650 basis points. The company plans to reinvest in innovation while maintaining a careful approach to headcount and resource allocation. Macro and sector risks: SentinelOne's guidance reflects uncertainty surrounding customer budgets, especially for larger deals and federal contracts. Management is monitoring for potential delays or further disruptions in purchasing cycles, while highlighting that no major deal cancellations have occurred. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will be watching (1) the pace of recovery in net new ARR and whether delayed deals convert as macro conditions stabilize, (2) adoption rates of the newly launched unified cloud security suite and further expansion of AI-driven solutions, and (3) progress in federal sector contracts following recent FedRAMP High authorizations. Execution on operational efficiency initiatives and the impact of the new Partner One program will also be key factors to monitor. SentinelOne currently trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 6.1×. In the wake of earnings, is it a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it's free).

SentinelOne's (NYSE:S) Q1 Earnings Results: Revenue In Line With Expectations But Stock Drops 13.8%
Cyber security company SentinelOne (NYSE:S) met Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, with sales up 22.9% year on year to $229 million. On the other hand, next quarter's revenue guidance of $242 million was less impressive, coming in 1.2% below analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.02 per share was in line with analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy SentinelOne? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $229 million vs analyst estimates of $228.2 million (22.9% year-on-year growth, in line) Adjusted EPS: $0.02 vs analyst estimates of $0.02 (in line) Adjusted Operating Income: -$3.93 million vs analyst estimates of -$3.76 million (-1.7% margin, relatively in line) Revenue Guidance for Q2 CY2025 is $242 million at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $244.8 million Operating Margin: -38.2%, up from -43.3% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was $45.44 million, up from -$8.92 million in the previous quarter Customers: 1,459 customers paying more than $100,000 annually Annual Recurring Revenue: $948.1 million at quarter end, up 24.4% year on year Market Capitalization: $6.65 billion 'Our top-tier growth and margin improvement reflect continued platform momentum and customer success," said Tomer Weingarten, CEO of SentinelOne. With roots in the Israeli cyber intelligence community, SentinelOne (NYSE:S) provides software to help organizations efficiently detect, prevent, and investigate cyber attacks. A company's long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Luckily, SentinelOne's sales grew at an incredible 52.1% compounded annual growth rate over the last three years. Its growth beat the average software company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a helpful starting point for our analysis. This quarter, SentinelOne's year-on-year revenue growth of 22.9% was excellent, and its $229 million of revenue was in line with Wall Street's estimates. Company management is currently guiding for a 21.6% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter. Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 23.1% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last three years. Still, this projection is noteworthy and suggests the market is baking in success for its products and services. Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming. Click here to access a free report on our 3 favorite stocks to play this generational megatrend. While reported revenue for a software company can include low-margin items like implementation fees, annual recurring revenue (ARR) is a sum of the next 12 months of contracted revenue purely from software subscriptions, or the high-margin, predictable revenue streams that make SaaS businesses so valuable. SentinelOne's ARR punched in at $948.1 million in Q1, and over the last four quarters, its growth was fantastic as it averaged 28.1% year-on-year increases. This performance aligned with its total sales growth and shows that customers are willing to take multi-year bets on the company's technology. Its growth also makes SentinelOne a more predictable business, a tailwind for its valuation as investors typically prefer businesses with recurring revenue. This quarter, SentinelOne reported 1,459 enterprise customers paying more than $100,000 annually, an increase of 48 from the previous quarter. That's a bit fewer contract wins than last quarter and quite a bit below what we've observed over the previous year, suggesting its sales momentum with new enterprise customers is slowing. It also implies that SentinelOne will likely need to upsell its existing large customers or move down market to maintain its top-line growth. We struggled to find many resounding positives in these results. ARR, revenue, operating profit, and EPS were all roughly in line with expectations, which we've seen is rarely good enough for higher-multiple software companies. Additionally, the company's revenue guidance for next quarter slightly missed. Overall, this quarter could have been better. The stock traded down 13.8% to $16.95 immediately after reporting. SentinelOne's earnings report left more to be desired. Let's look forward to see if this quarter has created an opportunity to buy the stock. We think that the latest quarter is just one piece of the longer-term business quality puzzle. Quality, when combined with valuation, can help determine if the stock is a buy. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.
