The Evolution of Endpoint Protection with Advanced Threats
SentinelOne, Monday, August 18th, 2025
Cybercrime went from a nuisance to a threat when its practitioners realized their crimes could produce benefits such as financial gain, political pressure, and to promote causes supported by the attackers.
This spurred innovations in offensive methodologies and required defenders to evolve further. Today, we have fully funded threat operations, state-backed and organized as a standard business. This operationalization of cybercrime has unlocked an era of threats with focused agendas and more tangible impact to business. Defensive technology has kept pace with threats to a degree, but this rapid expansion has left organizations struggling to keep up in an enigmatic market of security solutions.
