● Strategic Partnership for a holistic, AI-Powered Security
Platform: A product leveraging the capabilities of SentinelOne, XM
Cyber, and Omniac creates a 360-degree security solution for companies
and the public sector.
● Forging A Stronger Security Alliance: The integration of
SentinelOnes’ SecOps solutions with XM Cyber's leading CTEM creates a
powerful security platform.
● AI's Rapid Adoption Security Strategy: This partnership
will mitigate the significant cybersecurity risks associated with AI
adoption, to protect organizational assets.
● Sovereign Protection, already running for the first customer:
The new solution is also available on Schwarz Digits' sovereign European
cloud STACKIT. It is already in use at Schwarz Group companies.
At a time when organized cybercrime is causing record damage and hybrid
threats are threatening supply chains, isolated defense measures with up
to 80 different solutions per organization are no longer sufficient. To
protect critical data and processes, companies need both a holistic
security strategy and seamless security platforms that cover the entire
attack lifecycle across their various attack surfaces. SentinelOne,
Schwarz Digits, and XM Cyber deepen their strategic partnership and
offer companies and organizations of all sizes an AI-supported
360-degree security suite.
Powerful Combination: Holistic and AI-Powered Suite for High-End
Protection
This joint solution consists of SentinelOne’s AI-powered security
platform, which protects endpoints, servers, and cloud environments,
defends against cyber attacks in real time, automatically remediates
vulnerabilities, and provides support in managing security incidents.
And Schwarz Digits’ suite of security solutions: XM Cyber’s Continuous
Exposure Management Platform which discovers and interconnects exposures
across external, enterprise, cloud, and hybrid attack surfaces. The
platform also helps organizations identify and map AI components, their
usage, and the exposures they create. This information is integrated
into the platform's attack graph analysis to show which exposures pose
the most risk. Additionally, the Omniac app and API service checks
whether personal data such as email addresses or passwords have appeared
on deep-, dark- or surface web, thereby contributing to identity
protection for organizations and consumers.
Noam Erez, CEO and Co-Founder of XM Cyber, says: "The future of
cybersecurity lies in creating intelligent, integrated platforms that
provide clarity and drive decisive action. Threat actors thrive in the
gaps between an organization's proactive and reactive security controls,
and our mission is to eliminate those gaps.”
Tomer Weingarten, CEO and Co-Founder of SentinelOne, says: “We
are in a new era of cyber war, where AI fights AI. For this, we need
autonomous, AI-driven defense, capable of neutralizing threats in real
time. To achieve this, we can’t just look at individual endpoints. We
must bring all security data together in a single context. The Schwarz
Digits solutions strengthen our platform enormously.”
Sovereignly protected: The new security platform on the German cloud
STACKIT
XM Cyber provides the proactive attacker’s perspective, showing exactly
how an adversary could compromise critical assets. SentinelOne delivers
the best-in-class, real-time ability to detect and stop those attacks as
they happen. By fusing these capabilities, teams can connect the dots
between potential risks and active threats, enabling customers to
operate with unprecedented efficiency.
Additionally, the holistic solution runs on Schwarz Digits’ sovereign
cloud platform, STACKIT as well. This offers complete data sovereignty
for all customers, granting digital independence, as well as the highest
security standards. For European companies, a complete sovereign
security platform is paramount. German-based companies can already
leverage XM Cyber's leading Exposure Management platform via STACKIT. By
migrating SentinelOne's leading SecOps platform to run on STACKIT,
European customers will gain access to the most comprehensive sovereign
security platform.
First customer: The companies of the Schwarz Group themselves
Rolf Schumann, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits: “Cybersecurity is an
integral part of our strategic direction—both for the companies of the
Schwarz Group and for the digital solutions we offer as Schwarz Digits.
That's why we are continuously working to protect our customers and
ourselves even better. Thanks to the strategic partnership with
SentinelOne, we are succeeding in further developing the European and
global market for cybersecurity and offering sovereign alternatives.”
Christian Müller, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits: “With this
partnership, we are reaching the next evolutionary stage in
cybersecurity, which is urgently needed for society and the economy.
Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing the rules of the game
– for those who are protecting themselves, but also for the attackers.
Our partnership is a strong signal to all organizations that want to
protect themselves appropriately in the age of AI – and to do so
sovereignly and seamlessly.”
As one of the world's largest retail groups, the companies in the
Schwarz Group have an extensive IT and OT environment - with more than
14,200 stores, global production sites and 595,000 employees. Thus, they
provide an ideal environment for applying and scaling new solutions.
Schwarz Digits solutions are initially tested, rolled out and optimized
in their own extensive environment. Only when they function optimally
for themselves and create real added value, they offer them on the
market.
