Eon and SentinelOne Announce Partnership to Advance Cloud Data Security and AI Resilience

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (RSAC 2026) – March 24, 2026 — Eon, the first intelligent cloud infrastructure for data backups and AI, and SentinelOne® (NYSE: S), the AI Security leader, today announced a partnership to help enterprise security teams protect, detect, and recover from threats across the full cloud data and AI attack surface.

Organizations accelerating AI adoption face a compounding challenge: AI workloads depend on massive volumes of sensitive data, operate across complex cloud infrastructure, and run continuously at machine speed. Each stage of the AI lifecycle – from data, to infrastructure, and runtime – introduces new attack paths and failure modes that fragmented, legacy tools cannot address.

The partnership between SentinelOne and Eon will focus on integrating the Singularity™ Platform’s end-to-end AI security with Eon’s cloud-native data resilience solution to protect the entire lifecycle of AI workloads. By combining SentinelOne’s DSPM discovery and classification with Eon’s Data Protection product and Cloud Backup Posture Management (CBPM) solution, including an industry-first ransomware protection for databases, organizations can ensure sensitive data is not only identified but also backed up and compliant. 

Eon’s autonomous CBPM continuously classifies cloud resources and auto-applies backup policies. Built for high performance on top of object storage, Eon’s open-format storage layer enables continuous anomaly detection and allows for granular restores to ensure clean data recovery. This unified approach will surface prioritized alerts for non-recoverable datastores, allowing security teams to bridge the gap between data sensitivity and operational resilience before high-risk data ever enters an AI pipeline.

To defend against sophisticated threats, Eon's indexed storage metadata enables ransomware heuristics, such as entropy analysis, file extension change detection, behavioral anomaly monitoring, and snapshot locking in logically air-gapped vaults. Combined with SentinelOne's detection and response capabilities, as well as Purple AI's automated investigations, this synergy enables early detection of reconnaissance within model weights and training sets, providing a "shift-left" defense for the data layer and a deterministic recovery path through searchable backups and granular file-level restoration in the event of an attack. 

Furthermore, the collaboration extends to securing AI agents and autonomous infrastructure, monitoring these high-impact operational identities in real time to contain prompt manipulation or privilege escalation while ensuring the data layer remains immutable and recoverable.

“AI has fundamentally changed the security equation. It’s not just about protecting systems, but ensuring the data behind them is continuously protected, accessible, and recoverable,” said Ofir Ehrlich, CEO and co-founder of Eon. “SentinelOne has built one of the most advanced AI-driven security platforms, and together we’re extending that intelligence into the data layer. We’re enabling a new model of security – one where organizations can not only detect and respond to threats, but fully recover and continue operating without disruption.”

“AI security requires protecting data, infrastructure, and runtime as one connected system,” said Rob Salvagno, Chief Corporate Development Officer, SentinelOne. “Eon adds the data resilience layer that makes this vision complete. The investment reflects conviction that data recoverability is foundational to AI security. Together, the companies deliver protection and recovery across the full AI lifecycle."

As part of the deal, SentinelOne has also invested in Eon through its investment branch, S Ventures. The investment underscores SentinelOne’s belief that the next era of AI security will be defined by the ability to make data not just protected, but usable — and that Eon is the only platform purpose-built to deliver that capability at scale.
