Introduction

SentinelOne (S1) is a next-generation anti-virus solution that detects and responds to cyber threats like malware and ransomware. S1 provides a lightweight single-agent approach with AI capabilities. (Source https://security.utoronto.ca/about/cyberstrategy/epp/sentinelone-project/ ).

The ITS Private Cloud recommends the deployment of S1 on your virtual instances for an additional layer of visibility and security to your virtual servers.

This how-to will guide you through installing S1 agent on Ubuntu, however we provide installers for Linux and Windows OS available at vskey-stor.eis.utoronto.ca:/ut-vss-lib/sentinelone.

Requirements

Site Token. To associate your virtual instance to your department SentinelOne, you need an site token. If you have one, you are good to go. Otherwise, reach out to the Endpoint Protection Support (https://security.utoronto.ca/about/cyberstrategy/epp/support/ ) Team to get started.
ITS Private Cloud account. Used to download the installers from the VSS User Storage (vskey-stor.eis.turoonto.ca) to the server.
