A team of experts, led by industry leaders Chris Krebs and Alex Stamos, will provide unprecedented insights and analysis to support customers in their security improvement processes
As technology has become central to all aspects of business, cybercriminals and nation-state masterminds are increasingly exploiting the complex and vulnerable systems of companies around the world. To help clients overcome this pressure between business and geopolitical risk, SentinelOne (NYSE: S) a global leader in AI-powered cybersecurity, introduced PinnacleOne, a strategic risk analytics and consulting group. Led by industry experts Chris Krebs and Alex Stamos, founders of KSG, PinnacleOne will help leaders better understand the complexities of today's business landscape through unprecedented intelligence, insight and risk management strategies. The birth of PinnacleOne was announced at OneCon, SentinelOne's first customer conference which recently took place in Boca Raton, Florida.
"Rapid changes in cyber risks, the evolution of AI and the big leap towards enterprise-grade, data-focused, cloud-based security have created a lot of uncertainty for business leaders. This, combined with an exponential growth in the number of cybercriminals, means companies are moving into unknown territory," he said Tomer Weingarten, CEO at SentinelOne "With PinnacleOne, we empower businesses with best-in-class experts to help them think globally and comprehensively versus today's fragmented approaches. Our holistic approach to risk management will enable businesses to adapt and move forward confidently across all products and across all environments."
Led by Krebs and Stamos, PinnacleOne will operate as a strategic advisory team, as well as a contracted think tank, helping clients understand who is attacking them and what they are looking for, what their digital footprint is, how strong their security posture is, and what they need to meet their every security need. Additionally, PinnacleOne will be able to help executives navigate an evolving regulatory landscape and ensure security strategies that enable them to succeed in the context of advanced threats.
“PinnacleOne is a response to the growing demand we have received from our customers for help solving major security challenges and expands our ability to support private and public sector businesses in securing the future,” he said Eran Ashkenazi, Chief Customer Officer at SentinelOne. “Our partners will also be able to benefit from this expertise to integrate the services offered to high-profile clients.”
Chris Krebs, who will join SentinelOne as Chief Intelligence and Public Policy Officer e Presidente di PinnacleOne, was the first director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In this role, Krebs led the U.S. civilian cyber defense agency, working alongside businesses and government agencies to protect them from ever-expanding cyber threats. Before joining DHS, Krebs was responsible for Microsoft's cybersecurity policies in the United States. Krebs is also co-chair of the Aspen Institute's U.S. Cybersecurity Working Group and a CBS News contributor.
"Whether we like it or not, technology has changed the world as we know it and things will probably get worse. But there is hope," Krebs said. “PinnacleOne will provide guidance and advice that managers can rely on to better understand the threats they are facing, along with actionable strategies that will improve their resilience and prepare them for the future.”
Alex Stamos, who will fill the role of Chief Trust Officer of SentinelOne, is the founder and director of the Stanford Internet Observatory and was Chief Security Officer of Facebook and Chief Information Security Officer of Yahoo. He was a member of the Aspen Institute's Cyber Security Task Force, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Advisory Committee, the Bay Area CSO Council, and the Council on Foreign Relations. He also serves on the advisory board of the NATO Collective Cyber Security Center of Excellence in Estonia.
“I have long valued SentinelOne's leading strategies and technologies,” said Stamos. "Through PinnacleOne, we will be able to provide trusted advisory services, based on SentinelOne's incredible research and intelligence capabilities, helping clients address the new challenges posed by the current environment. I am happy to work with the entire team to establish one of the most trusted groups in the cybersecurity field."
