SentinelOne is collecting another trophy for its cloud-security push: the company says Google has named it a 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year in the Security category, specifically for Google Threat Intelligence.
It’s the kind of recognition vendors love to tout, but there’s a practical angle here. SentinelOne and Google Cloud have been tightening their technical and go-to-market ties around threat intelligence, managed detection and response, and what both companies describe as “security for AI” — a theme that keeps getting louder as enterprises move workloads (and now AI agents) deeper into the cloud.
At the center of the announcement is SentinelOne’s positioning as a Google Security partner with integrations across Google Security Operations (SecOps), Google Threat Intelligence and Chrome Enterprise. SentinelOne points to an expanded partnership it unveiled at RSAC 2026, aimed at combining its endpoint detection and response (EDR) and broader “Singularity” security platform with Google Cloud’s infrastructure and intelligence feeds.
So what does that mean in product terms? SentinelOne says the two companies have focused on several collaboration areas over the past year:
- Managed services built on Google Threat Intelligence: SentinelOne is pushing a new “Wayfinder” managed services offering that blends analyst-led response with automation and Google’s threat intel.
- More regional availability and data-residency options: The company says its Singularity platform is available in additional Google Cloud regions — including Frankfurt and Saudi Arabia — to address sovereignty and regulatory requirements.
- Context-rich detections: The pitch is that fusing Google Threat Intelligence with SentinelOne telemetry can add higher-fidelity context to alerts, making it easier for security teams to triage incidents and proactively hunt threats.
- Security for the “AI era”: Both firms are emphasizing protections for GenAI deployments and AI agents, which are quickly becoming new attack surfaces for enterprises.
Why this matters: security teams are being asked to defend sprawling, high-velocity environments where endpoints, identities and cloud workloads blur together. Partnerships that can turn threat intelligence into action — and do it across regions with strict data requirements — tend to resonate with global enterprises.
SentinelOne, which trades on the NYSE under the ticker S, is based in Mountain View, California and sells security products spanning endpoint, identity and cloud coverage.
