AI coding assistants are no longer just autocompleting lines of code, they are quietly making decisions for you. Tools like Claude Code are able to read projects, plan multi-step changes, install dependencies, and modify files with minimal human oversight. To make this possible, these assistants rely on plugin marketplaces, where third-party developers can enable ‘skills’ that teach the agent how to manage infrastructure, testing, and dependencies. Though powerful, the model requires a high degree of trust, thus bringing with it a new set of risks.
At a first glance, third-party marketplace plugins are harmless productivity boosters. Connect a marketplace and enable a plugin so your coding assistant becomes smarter about your stack. However, beneath the convenience is a security blind spot: These same skills often run with extremely high privilege and very little transparency on how they make decisions or where the code and dependencies are coming from. The code issue isn’t prompt manipulation or social engineering – it’s compromised automation.
A full technical blog post by SentinelOne’s own Prompt Security team breaks down how a single benign-looking plugin from an unofficial marketplace exposes a dependency management skill. When the developer asks the agent to install a common Python library, that skill quietly redirects the install to an attacker-controlled source, ensuring a trojanized version of the library is pulled into the project. While nothing looks wrong – the library imports cleanly, the example code runs without error – malicious code is now embedded into the environment, capable of exfiltrating secrets, monitoring traffic, or lying dormant until it is triggered at a later time.
What makes this especially concerning is persistence. Marketplace plugins are not one-off interactions. Once enabled, their skills remain available across sessions and will continue to shape how the agent behaves in the future. Rather than a ‘bad prompt’, this effect is more like compromising your package manager itself.
As AI-driven development workflows accelerate, plugin marketplaces and third-party skills are now part of the software supply chain whether teams realize it or not. If your coding assistant can fetch and execute code on your behalf, every plugin installed joins your trust boundary.
Read the full blog post here for a detailed walkthrough of the attack mechanics and learn why dependency skills are such a powerful, but under-modeled, risk.

This is an era defined by relentless pressure on cybersecurity professionals. As environments and attack surfaces have expanded, endpoint, cloud, identity, and now AI signals continue to pile up faster than teams can interpret them. Meanwhile, rapidly evolving TTPs, fueled by ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) and other off-the-shelf tooling have enabled motivated threat actors to move with the sophistication and speed of the most advanced nation state adversaries.
With defenders stretched thin, actors are using these advanced techniques to hide behind operational noise. And, while handling alert fatigue isn’t enough, even mature teams can struggle to confront advanced persistent threats, especially those that specialize in evasion and long-term access.
Addressing these new realities requires reimagining defenses – new strategies to unify signals, eliminate the noise, augment human capacity, and truly prepare for incidents long before they happen. This requires more than just better tools. It requires a full shift in how detection and response is delivered.
Our Ethos | Defense Through AI, Intelligence & Human Experts
Wayfinder TDR is built on a foundational belief: True cyber resilience emerges from the fusion of AI, intelligence, and world-class human expertise – not from any single component in isolation.
Modern adversaries evolve too quickly, hide too effectively, and move too fluidly for traditional service models to keep up. Automated systems can miss subtle behaviors and human teams alone cannot keep pace with the scale of telemetry, meaning generic threat feeds are no longer the right solution. True defense requires three pillars working in concert.
Intelligence provides the early warning – timely, curated, contextual insight into an attacker’s behavior and tactics. SentinelOne integrates Google Threat Intelligence (GTI), one of the most powerful and comprehensive intelligence sources in the world, directly into every part of Wayfinder. It delivers a level of global threat visibility previously available only to a small set of elite organizations. This data is combined with our SentinelOne intelligence for an unparalleled set of threat content previously unseen in cybersecurity.
AI then transforms that intelligence and raw telemetry into actionable outcomes. SentinelOne’s industry-leading Purple AI engine automates triage, accelerates investigation, enriches findings with context, and closes the gap between detection and action. AI allows Wayfinder experts to cut through overwhelming volumes of data and surface what actually matters to the operation.
Finally, human expertise applies the experience and ingenuity to understand and act on what’s uncovered. Across 16 countries, SentinelOne’s team of threat hunters, analysts, incident responders, and strategic advisors bring decades of hands-on experience with the world’s most sophisticated adversaries. This combined knowledge closes gaps that machines alone cannot see, validating ambiguous signals and guiding customers through moments of uncertainty with clarity and confidence.
Wayfinder deepens this philosophy by combining elite human expertise with agentic, AI-powered threat hunting and investigations. This multi-layered human and AI model brings a level of defense that neither humans nor machines can achieve alone. We believe that the future of AI security is one that elevates – rather than replaces – human defenders, arming them with the speed of automation and the insights of global intelligence.
Wayfinder Threat Detection & Response is a unified portfolio designed to meet organizations where they are. From automated hunting and 24/7/365 MDR to high-touch advisory services during crises, each Wayfinder offering can either stand alone, or bring a comprehensive and adaptive defense program together.
These services deliver end-to-end coverage across preparation, detection, investigation, response, and recovery, ensuring customers are supported through every phase of the threat lifecycle.
Wayfinder Threat Hunting
Threat hunting is the foundation of the portfolio, delivering always-on, fully automated hunts powered by GT, SentinelOne’s threat intelligence, and enriched by SentinelOne experts.

Elite also provides bundled access to SentinelOne’s DFIR specialists, enabling advanced investigations, malware analysis, and targeted forensics. As well, Elite customers receive a built-in Incident Readiness & Response (IRR) retainer, ensuring they have pre-approved hours available for compromise assessments, breach simulations, preparedness workshops, and expert counsel during major incidents.
For teams that want not just coverage but clarity, Elite becomes a trusted extension of their leadership and decision-making process.
Wayfinder Incident Readiness & Response
Wayfinder IRR creates a foundation of preparedness that many organizations simply do not have today. With a renewable pool of hours, customers can proactively strengthen their posture or engage experts during high-pressure moments.
The key to this offering is flexibility. Use those hours to get immediate, 24/7/365 access to elite DFIR specialists that respond effectively and compliantly to critical incidents. Or use hours for breach readiness exercises and compromise assessments to uncover hidden risks and improve your security posture and readiness.
Wayfinder IRR experts act as a trusted partner who can guide organizations through high-pressure moments before, during, and after a breach to build confidence, clarity, and resilience. Expert-led exercises, simulations, and advisory services will transform theoretical security plans into reliable, tested incident response capabilities. And when incidents do occur, our team will not only contain, investigate, and stop the breach in its tracks, but will reconstruct attacker activity to understand the “how” and “what” of an incident, identifying compromised accounts, exfiltrated data, and affected systems.
Wayfinder Emergency Response
For organizations experiencing an active breach without a retainer in place, Wayfinder Emergency Response provides urgent access to a 40-hour block of DFIR expertise. It enables rapid containment, adversary eviction, hands-on investigation, and guidance during critical situations.

This ensures that all organizations have an expert-led lifeline supported by AI-driven analysis and Google-enhanced intelligence during the most critical moments.
Our Vision | Redefining Managed Services for the AI Era
For years, organizations have been forced to choose between generic intelligence feeds, siloed MDR services, and incomplete incident response retainers. These make for complex in-house responsibilities since point solutions only offer bolt-ons rather than cohesive strategies. AI was under utilized. Human expertise was expensive, inconsistent, or inaccessible. We set out to eliminate the fragmentation that leaves so many organizations exposed.
SentinelOne’s Wayfinder TDR services break that cycle by unifying agentic AI, elite human operators, and unmatched threat intelligence insights into a single, adaptive defense fabric. The result? A portfolio that not only responds to threats but proactively seeks them out, contextualizes them, and then empowers organizations to act with precision and speed.
It stands alone in merging together the deep integration of GTI, operational automation driven by AI, and the global scale of human expertise. Instead of stitching together disparate solutions, Wayfinder is purpose-built to streamline telemetry, intelligence, and human insight into a coherent defense program.
This shift matters as modern adversaries are no longer linear nor predictable – they’re fluid. They adapt rapidly. And, they exploit operational complexity. To reduce that complexity, Wayfinder closes detection gaps and reduces the noise while ensuring that experts are available before, during, and after any incident.
This is a fundamental redefinition of what managed security can achieve when human ingenuity and agentic AI move in sync. Aligning intelligence, technology, and human judgment in a single adaptive defense, Wayfinder raises the bar for what true managed security must deliver.
Conclusion | Proactive & Scalable Defense Starts Now
The future of cybersecurity belongs to organizations that can see farther ahead, move faster, and act with confidence. Attackers are only becoming more automated and opportunistic, meaning SOCs need more than tools – they need a combination of the right intelligence translated by trusted experts and partnership when incidents arise.
As announced at OneCon 2025, Wayfinder joins human expertise, agentic AI, and Google Threat Intelligence to deliver a multi-layered human + AI defense model that helps customers fill in their skill gaps, elevate teams, and strengthen their posture immediately.
Wayfinder TDR is the next evolution of SentinelOne’s services portfolio, combining threat hunting, managed detection, and incident response into a force multiplier to empower organizations in regaining control and reducing daily risk.

Every major technology revolution begins the same way: Promise, panic, and potential.
The internet gave us connection. Cloud gave us scale. AI is giving us cognition – systems that can reason, decide, and act.
Firewalls helped the internet era. Workload protection helped the cloud era. And, in the AI era, you have AI Security.
This is a new field and frontier that requires mastering two disciplines at once.
Security for AI – Governing and protecting the usage of AI itself. Models, data, agents, and the users and developers who rely on them. In many cases, this is also done by AI.
AI for Security – Applying agentic AI and machine learning to solve today’s biggest cybersecurity challenge: Staying ahead of AI-powered attacks by detecting, investigating, and responding at machine speed.
Most importantly, in this era, the architecture and infrastructure needed to truly benefit from AI will be the determining factor to successfully secure it. Quality of data, inclusivity of data, cardinality, and latency will be critical, as will be the tools and technologies facilitating those.
At OneCon 2025, we are laying out a practical path to secure this new world. The opportunities AI creates, the risks it introduces. The strategy and product innovation you can put to work today to accelerate and de-risk your AI journey.
AI: Business Accelerant & New Attack Surface
The need for these dual disciplines is driven by the rapid increase in AI usage itself – both by good and bad forces.
AI is accelerating everything. It is transforming how businesses operate, how employees work, and how attackers adapt. Across every single industry, AI is becoming embedded into processes, tools and workflows in every team. Marketing teams use it to generate content. Developers use it to write code. Legal, HR and finance all use it to summarize and automate tasks. AI is now woven into the very fabric of how organizations think and operate.
While holding incredible potential benefits, this transformation is also introducing massive new security risks. Traditional security controls are blind to the data that employees are entering into 3rd-party AI models. Security teams lack visibility into the growing ecosystem of AI tools and assistants spreading across every single enterprise. AI-based browsers that integrate chat or summarization features create new pathways for data exposure. And the rise of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that connect agents to agents introduces an entirely new layer of risk that most organizations are not equipped to monitor or govern today.
Meanwhile, adversaries are evolving just as quickly. They are using AI to increase efficiency, precision, and their reach. Non-native English speakers can now craft a convincing, localized spearphishing campaign in minutes. LLMs are being used to write polymorphic malware that mutates faster than traditional defenses can react. Attackers are automating their reconnaissance, identifying vulnerabilities through natural language interfaces, and even embedding AI models directly inside malware to adapt in real time.
The result is a security gap that spans both sides of the equation – on one side, AI as a catalyst for real business innovation and, on the other, AI as an enabler of attack and massive risk exposure.
Building Security in the Age of AI: Three Critical Principles
Protecting this new world requires visibility, intelligent automation, and governance that can move at the same speed as AI itself. In solving for that, we believe in a simple yet critical guiding philosophy to delivering effective AI Security – three critical principles that inform everything that we build and anchor any platform-level defense.
Intelligence Over Rules – Security must think, not react. Static signatures and brittle logic can’t match the velocity of modern threats. True protection emerges when AI continuously learns, reasons, and adapts — detecting intent, not just pattern.
Autonomy with Accountability – Machines should act at machine speed, but always within human-defined guardrails and system supervision. The future of defense is autonomous, but never ungoverned where AI decisions remain explainable, traceable, and aligned with human values.
Unity of Data, Context, and Action – Effective AI security fuses signals from endpoints, identities, and clouds into one coherent understanding. Insight without context is noise; action without context is chaos. The synthesis of both creates real-time, end-to-end resilience.
These principles map directly to the questions customers ask us every day.
How do I better defend my organization?
How do I outpace threats?
How do I get the most from my people and partners?
SentinelOne’s AI Advantage
When it comes to making AI Security real today, SentinelOne is in a unique position. We have been AI-native since day one. Automation has been foundational from the start, not a bolt-on. And, we’ve been using agentic approaches and workflows in live security environments before it became the buzzword du jour.
At launch, we were among the first to apply machine learning to malware detection and prevention. That broke the decades-old pattern of pushing static signatures to endpoints many times a day. Instead of distributing new rules after every outbreak, we trained lightweight predictive models that identified malicious behavior on their own. That meant detecting never-before-seen threats in real time at massive scale.
That innovation reshaped endpoint security and set the foundation for what followed. The same principles of data-driven models, autonomous decision making, and behavioral analytics evolved into the Singularity Platform and now power Purple AI, our agentic system that changes how analysts detect, investigate, and respond. Together, they extend protection and intelligence across endpoint, identity, cloud, and AI. It is an entire platform built on and enhanced by AI. This is how we keep our customers safe: By delivering real time security that is predictive and adaptive, at planet scale.
This year we took the next step with two focused acquisitions:
Prompt Security – A portfolio built to secure AI use cases and protect how employees, developers, and applications leverage generative and agentic AI. This is a critical component of protecting AI as an attack surface itself.
Observo AI – An AI-ready streaming data pipeline that intelligently filters, normalizes, and ingests petabytes of telemetry across the enterprise with sub-second latency and strong cost efficiency. Combined with Singularity AI SIEM, this provides both pre-ingestion analytics and flexible pull/stream data collection, ensuring complete visibility, real-time detections and autonomous response across the entire security environment.
These advancements extend Singularity into a unified AI Security architecture that gives defenders a complete, autonomous view across traditional and emerging surfaces – from premise to cloud.

Live Security Updates upgrades that dramatically reduce response times, and improve accuracy and efficacy. And more customer controls for safe rollout.
Thousands of new detections continually delivered, from the AI-SIEM to the endpoint agent. We’re wherever the adversary moves, delivering real-time protection across dozens of surfaces and data sources. With AI infused into every layer of our operations, we’re moving faster, scaling further, and stopping even unknown threats with greater precision than ever before.
New Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment processes, better observability across the platform, and proactive communications on incidents via a public status page have all been added to bolster resilience, reliability and transparency.
Active monitoring mode and proactive alerting extends resilience outside the SaaS operation into the Endpoint agent, providing near real-time health metrics of the agents themselves – now transparently available for the customer visibility in the agent management control plane.
The Path Forward in AI Security: Advancing Humanity, Protecting the Human
AI security is more than just defending systems, it’s about defending the fabric of trust that lets humans thrive in a digital world. As intelligence becomes ambient and autonomous, security must evolve from a reactive layer into an enabling force for human progress.
Empowering Human Potential – By offloading complexity and noise to intelligent machines, AI security frees humans to focus on creativity, empathy, and purpose. Protection becomes invisible, a silent force amplifying human capability rather than constraining it.
Preserving Digital Integrity – As data becomes identity, securing truth is a moral imperative. AI security safeguards the authenticity of information, ensuring societies can rely on what they see, share, and believe. As our lives move fully into digital spaces, the boundary between human and machine expression blurs. Every action carries traces of who we are. In this new reality, AI Security’s role is to safeguard that trust: To ensure that what we see, share, and decide upon is authentic. It means protecting the fidelity of data, the truth of identities, and the integrity of digital interactions against manipulation. It is the contract to our reality.
Building Ethical Autonomy – The next era demands systems that defend not only themselves, but the people they serve. Ethical AI security means designing intelligence that understands context, respects privacy, and acts in humanity’s best interest even when no one is watching.
Ultimately, the path forward fuses human and artificial intelligence into a shared defense, machines protecting people, and people guiding machines, so that technology remains our most trusted ally, not our greatest risk.
Defenders deserve a technology that protects every surface, that can see everything, turns data into advantage, and puts human governance at the center. So, let’s get started.
AI for Security. Security for AI. Autonomous protection, always evolving, in production, today, all in pursuit of a safer, brighter future.

By Gary Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine Black Hat, the cybersecurity industry’s most established and in-depth security event series, has once again proven why it remains the go-to gathering...
Organizations around the globe are rapidly adopting AI and embracing accelerated creativity and output, but with this vast opportunity come enormous challenges: visibility, compliance, security, control. From the growth of AI tool usage outside IT and infosec to the emergence of autonomous AI agents and agentic workflows, the undeniable benefits of AI often open the door to novel cyber threats and data privacy concerns, but even more often, to misuse and leakage of sensitive information.
SentinelOne pioneered AI Cybersecurity beginning at the endpoint and this strategy has rapidly evolved to the cloud, AI SIEM, and generative and agentic AI to protect every aspect of enterprise security. Now, we’re taking that strategy a step further, signing a definitive agreement to acquire Prompt Security – a rapidly growing company empowering and enabling organizations to use AI and AI agents securely – today. The immediate visibility and control Prompt Security delivers to all employee use of GenAI applications in the work environment is unparalleled.
Embrace AI without compromising visibility, security, or control
Prompt Security CEO Itamar Golan and his team were early champions of AI as a force for productivity, innovation, and transformation. As a cybersecurity veteran of Orca and Checkpoint, Golan was quick to realize that security risks would be the single biggest blocker to widespread AI adoption. This need is what has driven Prompt Security’s approach from the start – providing companies with the ability to encourage and deploy employee AI usage without compromise.
Prompt Security’s technology helps organizations by integrating across browsers, desktop applications, and API’s. This includes real-time visibility into how AI tools are accessed, what data is being stored, and automated enforcement to prevent prompt injections, sensitive data leakage, and misuse.
This design and approach is highly complementary to SentinelOne’s AI strategy and the Singularity Platform; creating a unique, integrated layer for securing AI in the enterprise – protecting tools where and how they are used, and creating customer value in a way no other solution in the market can match.
The Prompt Security Difference
Prompt Security enables organizations and users to confidently leverage tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Cursor, and other custom LLMs by providing IT and security teams visibility, security, and real-time control – even over unmanaged AI use.
Real-Time AI Visibility
Prompt Security’s lightweight agent and browser extensions automatically discover both sanctioned GenAI apps and unsanctioned Shadow AI wherever employees work. This includes browsers, desktop IDEs, terminal-based assistants, APIs, and custom workflows. The platform maintains a live inventory of usage across thousands of AI tools and assistants. Every prompt and response is captured with full context, giving security teams searchable logs for audit and compliance. This is a great complement to our existing presence on the endpoint, and will enable us to accelerate our GenAI DLP capabilities.
Policy-Based Controls
Granular, policy-driven rules let teams redact or tokenize sensitive data on the fly, block high-risk prompts, and deliver inline coaching that helps users learn safe AI practices without losing productivity.
AI Attack Prevention
The platform inspects every interaction in real time to stop prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, malicious output manipulation, and prompt leaks. It is designed to maintain low latency so users experience no disruption.
Model Agnostic Coverage
Safeguards apply uniformly across all major LLM providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, as well as self-hosted or on-prem models. The fully provider-independent architecture fits into any stack, whether SaaS or self-hosted.
MCP Gateway Security
Prompt Security’s MCP Gateway sits between AI applications and more than 13,000 known MCP servers, intercepting every call, prompt template, and response. Each server receives a dynamic risk score, and the system enforces allow, block, filter, or redact actions.
The Future of AI Security
AI is the most transformative force in the world today, but without security, it becomes a liability. SentinelOne has long set the standard on how AI can transform cybersecurity. This acquisition unlocks a new frontier of platform expansion for SentinelOne and represents a step forward in our AI strategy – from AI for security to security for AI. It cements SentinelOne’s leadership in securing the modern AI-powered enterprise, and it also puts in the center the main thing that acquisitions are about- solving real customer problems, improving security, and creating tangible value for security teams- allowing them to lead their business safely and responsibly to the AI age.
Protecting the usage of AI tools without compromising safety or inhibiting productivity is critical to their continued adoption and together, SentinelOne and Prompt Security provide the tools and confidence to make that a reality.
The ink may still be drying but the next chapter of SentinelOne’s growth story has officially begun. On behalf of all Sentinels, our partners, and our customers, I couldn’t be happier to welcome the Prompt Security team to SentinelOne!

SentinelOne has once again achieved recognition as a category leader for Growth and Innovation in the Frost Radar: Global Managed Detection and Response (MDR), 2025. Year-over-year, we demonstrated advancements in delivering innovative offerings that combine advanced AI with expert human analysts to provide 24x7x365 MDR coverage.
The Frost Radar highlighted SentinelOne’s use of agentic AI as a major strength and our position as one of the early adopters of AI cybersecurity analysts.
According to Frost:
“The continuous feedback and learning loop between Purple AI and the global MDR team ensures that both human analysts and ML models evolve together and improve the overall detection fidelity, contextual awareness, and effectiveness of the Singularity platform.”
SentinelOne’s leadership underscores our commitment to delivering our MDR service as an extension of — not a bolt-on to — the Singularity Platform, providing end-to-end coverage across endpoints, identities, cloud workloads, and third-party integrations. By doing this, we enable wider detection, investigation, and response coverage across the modern attack surface. Additionally, Purple AI uplevels our MDR analysts by enabling greater efficiency and scale to ultimately deliver more signal and less noise.
