CASE STUDY
SentinelOne, the autonomous
cybersecurity platform company,
has been announced as the
official cybersecurity provider to British
luxury car manufacturer, Aston Martin
Lagonda, deploying the next-generation
endpoint protection platform to secure its
manufacturing, headquarters, supply chain
and field offices against the ever-evolving
threat landscape.
Founded in 1913, Aston Martin has been
creating exceptional automobiles built with
the value of beauty, craft and art for more
than a century and has become the epitome
of luxury British heritage.
Challenged by the escalating threat
landscape, Aston Martin made a significant
investment revolutionising its cybersecurity
programme with cloud-delivered Artificial
Intelligence to replace legacy antivirus.
Legacy antivirus was no longer fit for purpose
in protecting against modern malware and
the growing prevalence of ransomware
attacks. In addition, legacy antivirus
required too many employees to manage
while obstructing Aston Martin Lagonda’s
end-user computing experience. With a
complex IT landscape, including Windows,
Mac, Linux, and Cloud Workloads, as well
as high-specification CAD, CAE and design
production workstations, Aston Martin
Lagonda needed a technology solution that
would seamlessly perform across different
operating systems and have robust APIs for
seamless integration across the tech and
cybersecurity stack.
“We couldn’t have any solution that was
going to get in the way of our users,
particularly our engineers and designers,”
said Steve O’Connor, Director of Information
Technology, Aston Martin Lagonda. “We
wanted a platform that was simple to use
and almost invisible to the users, but would
give us complete confidence and security.
Most of all, we wanted something futureproof
as Aston Martin Lagonda continues
constantly innovating.”
“We were impressed by how quickly
SentinelOne had come to lead the enterprise
security market with capabilities we didn’t
see from any other vendor,” continued
O’Connor. “After a shortlisting process,
three vendors went on to proof of concept.
During this process, SentinelOne clearly

differentiated itself, showing marked
leadership against other well-established
vendors. We saw unrivalled protection and
very low numbers of false positives all while
receiving positive responses from users
across all operating systems.”
SentinelOne’s Singularity Platform is
a product-first approach, powered by
award-winning patented AI and Machine
Learning. The solution is able to not only
prevent attacks, but also autonomously
reverse any threat, freeing up technical
staff and giving peace of mind that no
threat slips through. Aston Martin Lagonda
was able to take this peace of mind to the
next level with SentinelOne’s Vigilance MDR
(managed detection and response) service,
delivering global 24/7/365 SOC scalability
and protecting against even the most
advanced threats.
