SentinelOne Tto Highlight AI-powered Cybersecurity At GISEC 2025
SentinelOne has announced its participation at GISEC Global 2025 (6-8 May) at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The company will highlight how AI-driven cybersecurity is transforming threat detection, response, and prevention across enterprise, and showcase its Singularity Platform, an AI-powered solution that brings together endpoint, cloud, and identity security in a single, cohesive platform.
SentinelOne will also present Singularity Hyperautomation, which enables security teams to connect, automate, and accelerate workflows without writing a single line of code. Moreover, purpose-built for the autonomous SOC, SentinelOne's AI-SIEM will also be on display, delivering real-time, exabyte-scale analytics using adaptive models that go beyond static rules to detect and respond to threats instantly.
A recent report by the UAE Cyber Security Council and CPX highlights that over 223,800 assets hosted within the UAE are potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks, with half of the critical vulnerabilities remaining unaddressed for over five years. Misconfigurations account for 32% of these incidents, followed by improper usage and unlawful activities at 19%. Sectors such as government, finance, and energy are identified as primary targets for malicious actors. The financial implications are equally concerning, with the Middle East recording the second-highest data breach costs globally. Additionally, the region has witnessed a 58% increase in ransomware activity, underscoring the escalating risk landscape.
'Digital transformation across the Middle East has expanded attack surfaces, exposing organizations to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats,' said Meriam ElOuazzani, Senior Regional Director, META, SentinelOne. 'With ransomware on the rise and critical vulnerabilities left unpatched for years, traditional security is no longer enough. Our unified, AI-powered platform helps organizations modernize their defenses, cut response times, and stay ahead of today's evolving threat landscape. GISEC is not just a trade show us; it is a launchpad for innovation, partnerships, and leadership.'
Returning to GISEC, Purple AI brings enhanced capabilities – natural language prompts, automated investigations, and smart summaries – that streamline threat detection and amplify analyst productivity, while ensuring data privacy. SentinelOne will also demonstrate Singularity Cloud Security for real-time protection across hybrid environments, and Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) which defends against identity-based attacks with autonomous detection and rapid remediation across Active Directory and Azure AD.
Senior executives from SentinelOne will host live demos, expert-led sessions, and interactive experiences at Stand C110 in Hall 6. Attendees can participate in 'Mortal vs. Machine,' a unique experience that pits human analysts against SentinelOne's AI platform, showcasing AI-driven security's unmatched speed and accuracy. Visitors to the booth can experience firsthand how these solutions empower security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to threats faster – all with greater precision. 0 0

Apple executives held internal talks about buying Perplexity: Reports
Apple executives have held internal talks about potentially bidding for artificial intelligence startup Perplexity, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The discussions are at an early stage and may not lead to an offer, the report said, adding that the tech behemoth's executives have not discussed a bid with Perplexity's management. "We have no knowledge of any current or future MA discussions involving Perplexity," Perplexity said in response to a Reuters' request for comment. Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment. Big tech companies are doubling down on investments to enhance AI capabilities and support growing demand for AI-powered services to maintain competitive leadership in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Bloomberg News also reported on Friday that Meta Platforms tried to buy Perplexity earlier this year. Meta announced a $14.8 billion investment in Scale AI last week and hired Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to lead its new superintelligence unit. Adrian Perica, Apple's head of mergers and acquisitions, has weighed the idea with services chief Eddy Cue and top AI decision-makers, as per the report. The iPhone maker reportedly plans to integrate AI-driven search capabilities, such as Perplexity AI, into its Safari browser, potentially moving away from its longstanding partnership with Alphabet's Google. Banning Google from paying companies to make it their default search engine is one of the remedies proposed by the US Department of Justice to break up its dominance in online search. While traditional search engines such as Google still dominate global market share, AI-powered search options including Perplexity and ChatGPT are gaining prominence and seeing rising user adoption, especially among younger generations. Perplexity recently completed a funding round that valued it at $14 billion, Bloomberg News reported. A deal close to that would be Apple's largest acquisition so far. The Nvidia-backed startup provides AI search tools that deliver information summaries to users, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
