SentinelOne has been named the 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year for Security: Google Threat Intelligence, highlighting its growing influence in AI-driven cybersecurity. The recognition underscores its deepening collaboration with Google Cloud across threat intelligence, runtime protection, and cloud-scale security.
The award reflects a year of rapid innovation. More importantly, it signals how cybersecurity is evolving as enterprises shift to AI-first and cloud-native environments.
Partnership expands to secure AI-driven enterprises
SentinelOne and Google Cloud have significantly expanded their long-standing partnership. Earlier in March 2026, the companies unveiled new integrations at RSAC 2026.
These solutions combine SentinelOne’s endpoint detection and response (EDR), AI security capabilities, and its Singularity platform with Google Cloud’s infrastructure and global threat intelligence.
As a result, enterprises can now secure endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and AI systems within a unified ecosystem.
Melissa K. Smith, SVP of Global Strategic Partnerships at SentinelOne, said the partnership is redefining modern defense. She emphasized that organizations now operate in high-velocity environments where cloud, data, and AI converge.
Key innovations driving the collaboration
Over the past year, both companies have focused on delivering measurable outcomes. Their joint efforts span multiple high-impact areas:
AI-powered threat detection and response
The new SentinelOne Wayfinder Managed Services, powered by Google Threat Intelligence, integrates human expertise with AI-driven detection. Consequently, organizations can identify and respond to threats faster and with greater accuracy.
Global scalability and data sovereignty
The Singularity Platform is now available across major Google Cloud regions, including North America, Frankfurt, and Saudi Arabia. This ensures compliance with regional data regulations while maintaining performance.
Intelligence-led cybersecurity
SentinelOne’s platform now enriches every alert with contextual threat intelligence from Google. Therefore, security teams can proactively hunt advanced threats before they escalate.
Securing the AI stack
Both companies are also building solutions to protect generative AI systems and autonomous agents. This enables enterprises to adopt AI technologies with greater confidence.
Google Cloud highlights partner impact
Kevin Ichhpurani, President of Global Partner Ecosystem at Google Cloud, noted that the awards recognize partners delivering real customer value.
He added that SentinelOne’s innovations have played a key role in driving security outcomes for enterprises worldwide.
Why this matters for cybersecurity
This recognition comes at a time when cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and automated. At the same time, enterprises are rapidly adopting AI and cloud technologies.
Therefore, integrated platforms like SentinelOne’s are becoming essential. They offer speed, automation, and intelligence—three factors critical to modern cybersecurity.
Headquartered in Mountain View, SentinelOne protects nearly one-fifth of Fortune 500 companies. Its AI-powered platform continues to set benchmarks for autonomous security at scale.
