Why We Chose SentinelOne: The Strategic Security Partner Behind the Addigy Security Suite

Security is no longer a checkbox. It’s a necessity.
And for IT professionals managing Apple devices at scale — whether you’re an MSP, internal IT team, or supporting a K–12/EDU environment — securing your fleet without adding friction is the ultimate goal.

At Addigy, we’ve always believed that Apple device management should be secure by design, not by workaround. But let’s be honest — until recently, Apple security solutions were either cobbled together or borrowed from Windows-centric tools. That’s not good enough for the Apple-first world we live in today.

When we decided to launch the Addigy Security Suite, we knew it had to reflect the same core values that guide everything we do: ease of use, scalability, real-time visibility, and deep Apple-native compatibility. So, when it came time to choose a partner for endpoint protection — someone who would help us build out next-gen capabilities — the bar was high.

After months of research, testing, and field feedback from MSPs and IT pros in our community, we made our choice:

SentinelOne is our endpoint security partner for the Addigy Security Suite.

And here’s why that decision was easy — and why it matters for you.

1. Built for Real-Time, Autonomous Apple Threat Protection

Let’s face it: the threat landscape for macOS has changed.
No longer is macOS “less targeted.” Today’s attacks are increasingly cross-platform, socially engineered, and stealthy — especially in industries where Apple adoption is high.

SentinelOne is one of the very few EDR solutions on the market that’s made a serious investment in macOS — not just as an afterthought, but as a core focus.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Behavioral AI Detection: SentinelOne uses static AI and behavioral analysis to detect threats before execution, not just after a known signature is flagged.
  
• macOS-Specific Visibility: They go beyond file-based malware and into script-based attacks, privilege escalation, and persistence mechanisms commonly used on Mac devices.
  
• Real-Time Response: SentinelOne can autonomously isolate a device, kill a process, or roll back malicious activity — without requiring IT intervention.

• MDR Included: The package includes MDR (Managed Detection and Response) through Vigilance MDR, acting as a “security operations center” that notifies, quarantines, or auto-remediates threats based on user-configurable contacts and alert policies.
  

Bonus for MSPs: Their multi-tenant console and reporting makes it easy to manage protection across multiple organizations — at scale, without alert fatigue.

2. Seamless Addigy Integration: One Workflow, Not Ten Tabs

We didn’t want to add “yet another tool” to your stack.
We wanted to bring security into your existing Apple management workflows — because that’s where it belongs.

By deeply integrating SentinelOne into the Addigy Security Suite, we’ve made it incredibly easy to:

• Deploy endpoint protection directly from your Addigy dashboard
  
• View real-time threat alerts and remediation status alongside device health
  
• Trigger automated actions (like isolating a compromised device) without ever leaving the Addigy platform
• Vulnerability Management automatically scans third-party apps for CVEs, shows risk levels, and enables auto-patching with pre-built apps.
  

This reduces context switching and eliminates the overhead of managing multiple portals, policies, and logins — especially critical for time-strapped teams and busy MSPs.

3. Aligned Philosophies: Automation, Simplicity, and Visibility

At Addigy, we’ve always believed that IT should have total visibility and total control — without being buried in complexity.

We chose SentinelOne because they see the world the same way:

• Autonomous Security: Their platform is designed to act in real time — not just alert and wait.
  
• Scalability for Modern Teams: Whether you’re managing 50 devices or 50,000, SentinelOne adapts without breaking your workflows.
  
• Transparent Reporting: With rich threat telemetry, dashboards, and exportable data, you get the insight needed to improve security posture and meet compliance requirements (like HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST, etc.).
  

This shared approach — Apple-native, automation-forward, visibility-first — is what makes this partnership so powerful.

4. Validated by the Industry and Trusted by the World’s Leading Teams

Choosing a partner isn’t just about features — it’s about trust.

SentinelOne consistently ranks as a leader across third-party evaluations, including:

• Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader (multiple years)
  
• MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations: Top performance in detection and response — including macOS-specific attack techniques
  
• Trusted by Dozens of Fortune 500 Enterprises, Governments, and Global MSPs
  

When we recommend a solution to our customers, we want to ensure it’s not just good enough — it’s battle-tested and proven in the real world.

5. What This Means for You — Whether You’re an MSP, IT Pro, or EDU Leader

The Addigy + SentinelOne partnership is more than just a logo match — it’s about helping you:

• Stop threats before they spread
  
• Remediate incidents automatically
  
• Report on security posture with confidence
  
• Proactively protect Apple endpoints with less effort
  

Whether you’re…

• An MSP scaling across dozens of clients,

• An EDU organization managing hundreds of student and staff devices…
  

…the Addigy Security Suite powered by SentinelOne gives you what you need to protect, monitor, and respond — without burning out your team.
