The hacks are coming in daily – almost too fast to keep up. In the last few days we learned 11.9 million Quest Diagnostics records were hacked. Then we learned almost immediately afterward that competitor LabCorp’s said its third-party billing collections vendor, American Medical Collection Agency had , notified the bloodwork company that hackers gained access to AMCA’s online payment system. The unauthorized access took place between August 1, 2018, and March 30, 2019, LabCorp said. The company said it has referred millions of customers to AMCA for billing collections, and 7.7 million customers had their data stored in the hacked system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s news like this that fuels cybersecurity investments… In this case a massive $120M series D<\/a> into SentinelOne<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The autonomous endpoint protection company the funding will be used to accelerate the company’s rapid displacement of legacy and next-gen competitors in connecting endpoint, cloud, and IoT protection through its autonomous AI platform deployed throughout the enterprise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’ve built a team and technology to disrupt and broaden the endpoint space: as the network perimeter is drastically changing, so does the notion of the endpoint,” said Tomer Weingarten, CEO and Co-founder, SentinelOne. “Endpoints are everywhere today, from classic laptops and desktops, to workloads in the cloud and the datacenter, and all IoT devices – the network edge is the real perimeter. We were the first to unify EPP and EDR – prevention, detection, response, and hunting – in a single autonomous agent. We were the first to stand behind our product with a cyber warranty. Now we are the first to take AI-based device protection to the edge, covering IoT endpoints and workloads in the cloud. We have delivered unrivaled product innovation through a sustainable growth model that’s unique to others in the space, positioning us as a leader into the future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
