SentinelOne

Partners and analysts agreed that it could make a lot of sense for McAfee to build on its strong heritage in the endpoint security market with the purchase of next-generation endpoint security company. M&S Technologies' Miller said a company like SentinelOne, which offers solution that uses machine learning and behavioral analytics for threat protection across endpoints and servers, could be a good fit as it offers an innovative technology and is still smaller than some of its next-generation endpoint security company peers. McAfee has already been looking to leverage a lot of next-generation endpoint security capabilities on its own, most notably in its Endpoint 10.5 release, but Miller said an acquisition in this area could help McAfee speed up its innovation cycle even further.
