SentinelOne, an endpoint security company, has announced a $100m venture fund that will be used by the firm to invest in other security startups.
According to Security Week, the fund – named S Ventures – will invest across all stages of the startup lifecycle with a focus on security and data companies that bring use cases and could integrate with SentinelOne’s Singularity XDR platform for unified prevention, detection and response.
SentinelOne said it will provide support to portfolio firms looking to promote innovation as well as accelerating route-to-market and engineering scaling.
The fund has already made investments in security companies such as Torq, Noetic Cyber, Laminar and Armorblox.
SentinelOne CEO Tomer Weingarten said, “Our early days were defined by the support of our investors, who saw the power and promise of our vision. Today, I’m proud to see SentinelOne invest in future disruptors, doing our part to continue a legacy of innovation.
“We’re committed to investing in innovation that solves mission-critical problems for the enterprise – and digital society at large.”
SentinelOne acquired breach detection technology firm Attivo Networks for $616m earlier this year.
Attivo has a product suite that includes capabilities for identity threat detection and response, identity cyber deception and identity infrastructure assessments.
