SentinelOne Selected to Protect a Century of Motoring Heritage
and Replace Legacy Antivirus
SentinelOne, the autonomous cybersecurity platform company, has
been announced as the official cybersecurity provider to British
luxury car manufacturer, Aston Martin Lagonda, deploying the next
generation endpoint protection platform to secure its
manufacturing, headquarters, supply chain, and field offices
against the ever evolving threat landscape.
Founded in 1913, Aston Martin has been creating exceptional
automobiles built with their values of beauty, craft, and art for
more than a century and has become the epitome of luxury British
heritage.
Challenged by the escalating threat landscape, Aston Martin made
a significant investment revolutionizing its cybersecurity program
with cloud-delivered Artificial Intelligence to replace legacy
antivirus. Legacy antivirus was no longer fit for purpose in
protecting against modern malware and the growing prevalence of
ransomware attacks. In addition, legacy antivirus required too many
employees to manage while obstructing Aston Martin Lagonda’s end
user computing experience. With a complex IT landscape, including
Windows, Mac, Linux, and Cloud Workloads, as well as
high-specification CAD, CAE, and design production workstations,
Aston Martin Lagonda needed a technology solution that would
seamlessly perform across different operating systems and have
robust APIs for seamless integration across the tech and
cybersecurity stack.
“We couldn’t have any solution that was going to get in the way
of our users, particularly our engineers and designers” commented
Steve O'Connor, Director of Information Technology, Aston Martin
Lagonda. “We wanted a platform that was simple to use and
almost invisible to the users, but that would give us complete
confidence and security. Most of all, we wanted something
future-proof as Aston Martin Lagonda continues constantly
innovating.”
“We were impressed by how quickly SentinelOne had come to lead
the enterprise security market with capabilities we didn’t see from
any other vendor” continues O’Connor. After a shortlisting process,
three vendors went on to proof of concept. During this process
SentinelOne clearly differentiated itself, showing marked
leadership against other well-established vendors. We saw
unrivalled protection and very low numbers of false positives all
while receiving positive responses from users across all operating
systems.”
SentinelOne’s Singularity platform is a product-first approach,
powered by award-winning patented AI and machine learning. The
solution is able to not only prevent attacks, but also autonomously
reverse any threat, freeing up technical staff and giving peace of
mind that no threat slips through. Aston Martin Lagonda were able
to take this peace of mind to the next level with SentinelOne’s
Vigilance MDR (managed detection and response) service, delivering
global 24/7/365 SOC scalability and protecting against even the
most advanced threats.
“Almost immediately during the proof of concept, SentinelOne
emerged as the solution for us. The rollout was even easier than we
expected, despite our complex landscape. Watching the SentinelOne
platform tackle threats head-on - that our existing legacy
antivirus missed - was a great moment for the team.” said
O’Connor.
Aston Martin Lagonda joins a raft of recent customers who have
selected SentinelOne to replace legacy and next-generation
antivirus. The company has seen exceptional growth in the UK and
across EMEA, among others securing tens of 50,000+ endpoint
enterprise wins from leading financial services, retail,
manufacturing, and governments in the past few months.
“To be entrusted with securing Aston Martin Lagonda’s workforce,
platforms, and systems is an honor. We’re confident SentinelOne’s
patented approach not only delivers unrivaled levels of protection
and visibility, but also lives true to the experience we provide
more than 4,000 leading enterprises worldwide. With SentinelOne
behind the wheel, Aston Martin Lagonda takes its cyber defences to
new levels whilst saving time and operational costs in running a
global cybersecurity operation” said Nicholas Warner, Chief
Operating Officer, SentinelOne.
