As part of our continued efforts to protect our people, data and systems against security threats regardless of location, the University, through an external partner (vendor), will make the SentinelOne (S1) next-generation anti-virus solution available to the University. S1 will provide next-generation autonomous defense capabilities. The solution’s deployment will be delivered in a phased project over about 18 months.

S1 is a next-generation anti-virus solution that detects and responds to cyber threats like malware and ransomware. S1 provides a lightweight single-agent approach with AI capabilities. The anti-virus software uses data from the device’s operating system to perform automated analysis using S1’s global cloud-based threat intelligence. This will enable quick detection of and response to attacks and device compromises.

• One agent – does not require multiple modules to keep updated
• Signature-less – no virus signatures, exploit signatures or engines to update
• Cloud-based (more features and constantly improving)
• Relatively simple to:
  • Setup core configuration in the console
  • Deploy
  • Update agent versions
  • Use the console
  • Handle incidence – good workflow
• Has consistently passed MITRE attack (MITRE adversarial tactics, techniques and common knowledge) framework test without the need for special configurations
