SentinelOne, an endpoint protection cybersecurity software company, has secured $200 million in Series E funding led by private equity firm Insight Partners, raising its total valuation to $1.1 billion.
Series E funding rounds are late-stage events that typically set the stage for a potential IPO or strategic company sale. Still, Insight Partners often maintains its investment stakes for multiple years, so the runway to a SentinelOne IPO or strategic sale could be a long one, MSSP Alert believes.
Either way, SentinelOne appears to have endpoint protection and cybersecurity business momentum with MSPs, managed security services providers (MSSPs) and MDR (managed detection and response) companies.
