Category: How does SentinelOne Endpoint Security work? / Does SentinelOne provide malware prevention?
SentinelOne is designed to prevent all kinds of attacks, including those from malware. SentinelOne’s Endpoint Prevention (EPP) component uses StaticAI Prevention to analyze (online or offline) executable files pre-execution; this replaces the need for traditional signatures, which are easily bypassed, require constant updating and require resource-intensive scans on the device.
The SentinelOne engine also performs analysis of PDF, Microsoft OLE documents (legacy MS Office) and MS Office XML formats (modern MS Office) as well as other kinds of files that may contain executable code. The goal of StaticAI in the product is to detect commodity and some novel malware with a compact, on-agent machine learning model that serves as a substitute for the large signature databases used in legacy AV products.
