SentinelOne’s AI-Driven Solutions Transform Cybersecurity Operations at GISEC 2025
At GISEC Global 2025, SentinelOne introduced AI innovations that are streamlining cybersecurity operations for organisations, especially in the Middle East. Meriam ElOuazzani, Senior Regional Director for META at SentinelOne, highlighted how Singularity Hyperautomation, AI SIEM, and Purple AI are helping security teams improve threat detection, accelerate response times, and better handle compliance requirements.
Targeted AI Innovations for Modern Security Challenges
SentinelOne has observed a clear shift in CIOs' and CISOs' approach. Instead of general inquiries about XDR (Extended Detection and Response), security leaders now seek specific solutions focusing on hyperautomation, cloud security, identity management, and AI-driven automation.
“Purple AI is moving from concept to reality,” ElOuazzani noted, with growing interest in how these technologies integrate into existing cybersecurity strategies. This focus helps organisations refine operations and boost overall security effectiveness.
AI's Impact on SecOps Efficiency
AI is changing how security operations teams detect and respond to threats. Traditional signature-based detection no longer suffices due to the rise of zero-day attacks. SentinelOne embeds AI into detection, protection, and response to address this gap.
One standout feature is the use of natural language querying. Analysts can interact with data using simple language commands, similar to ChatGPT, which the system then converts into advanced queries behind the scenes. This capability streamlines investigations and enables quick data correlation.
- Queries can be saved and shared in notebooks to encourage team collaboration.
- This shared knowledge base supports consistent analysis and speeds up technology adoption.
- Overall, AI reduces detection and response times while simplifying automation workflows.
Addressing Middle East Cybersecurity and Compliance Needs
Organisations in the Middle East face unique cybersecurity threats and compliance hurdles, especially regarding data accuracy and unified data integration. Automation plays a vital role, but only if the input data is accurate and well-structured.
ElOuazzani emphasized the need for proper data ingestion and training of AI models. Poor data quality leads to incorrect threat interpretations and less effective security outcomes. By integrating data from multiple sources into a single platform, organisations can enhance their detection and response capabilities.
Accurate data combined with automation is essential for meeting both security and compliance demands in the region.
SentinelOne’s Autonomous Security and the “Mortal vs. Machine” Experience
SentinelOne offers autonomous threat detection that identifies anomalies or malicious activity without requiring constant human oversight. This reduces the manual workload and accelerates incident response.
At GISEC Global 2025, the “Mortal vs. Machine” experience demonstrated how AI tools enable even non-experts to perform advanced security analysis. By querying data in plain English, users receive detailed threat-hunting insights powered by AI.
This hands-on demonstration showcased how AI can expand the pool of capable analysts, helping organisations respond to threats more effectively across their teams.
