Security Challenges Enterprises Face
There is a need to be able to know exactly what is
going on with every device on the network at any
given time. Gathering information on all devices
typically takes enterprises days or even weeks, if
they can at all.
There are several endpoint protection products
available in the market. These are typically the
antivirus/antimalware, both signature and
signature-less varieties. These products,
unfortunately,leave too manyholes since no such
solution is able to prevent all threats. This has led
to the need for detection and response security
solutions. While some AV vendors are starting to
offer detection and response capabilities, most
enterprises are hesitant to put alltheir eggs in one
vendor’s basket since a single breach of the tool
could render the enterprise exposed.
Even tools that provide detection and response
capabilities still leave a huge gap on the network.
These tools typically protect the physical
workstations and servers, thereby leaving a large
surface comprising clouds and other IT assets
open to attacks. Private and public clouds in
particular are vulnerable, and yet it is hard to
monitor them since the virtual machines come
and go, businesses run different images, and it is
frequently difficult to inject agents into the VMs.
The end result is a piecemeal security solution
with gaps.
Finally, the very best solutions provide real-time
visibility, but the IT and security departments are
forced to make decisions based on the data at
that point in time, frequently missing the larger
picture in terms of trends, and a more holistic
view through amalgamation of data from
multiple sources.
How Sentient Helps Enterprises
Sentient is a real-time systems management and
security solution that allows enterprises to query
just about anything across endpoints, clouds, and
allIT assets,andbe alertedto changes,offering the
most complete visibility, detection and response
for informed decision making.
Sentient allows the IT and security personnel to
query hundreds of thousands of devices within
seconds to find the proverbial needle in the
haystack aswellaslateralmovement ofdiscovered
threats.
Sentient also offers an automated alerting
framework that can continuously monitor items of
interest, and notify the enterprise teams about file
integrity violations, processes, and a host of other
targets both on the console and through APIs for
integration into existing IT systems.

What truly separates Sentient from every other
solution in the market is its ability to work in both
an agent-based and agentless manner. What this
translates into is Sentient’s ability to manage and
secure not only the endpoints, but also private,
public and hybrid clouds. This also allows the IT
organization to work with many assets where
installing an agent is just not feasible. The
enterprises thus have a 360 degree view across
the entire asset base rather than a scattered
subset.
Sentient has baked into it a fully functional
analytics engine. This addresses a major pain
point for the enterprises. IT and security
organizations are inundated with data, and it is
frequentlyhardto make sense ofthat data in real-
time.
The data gets pushed to other systems for offline
processing. That necessarily means that actions
that could have or should have been taken right
away are delayed, sometimes with profound
impact. Sentient can slice, dice, and visualize data
as it arrives. Sentient’s robust analytics engine can
also bring in data from multiple devices, as well as
external data sources such as databases, ticketing
systems,HRsystems,etc.Sentient allowsdrag and
drop capabilities to correlate the data from the
various streams to provide further enrichment,
analysis and actionable insights.
Sentient can leverage and integrate with other
existing enterprise tools through use of API.
Sentient Differentiation
Sentient brings value to both the enterprise IT and
the security teams as a separate and shared
solution. Sentient brings unprecedented ease of
deployment.
It is also the only solution that provides real-timedata
visibility and alert capabilities across all IT assets,
including endpoints and public, private and hybrid
cloud installations.
