Scott’s appointment follows the company’s recent announcement that it has raised an additional $25M in financing to further disrupt the anti-virus (AV) software market.

We have the opportunity to become the next major vendor in the cyber security sector. This is great challenge and opportunity, I’m pleased to be part of the SentinelOne team.”
