The IDC MarketScape covers Wayfinder, SentinelOne’s managed detection and response (MDR) offering, which uses AI to handle detection, correlation, and triage at machine speed, and SentinelOne’s analysts to apply human judgment to the decisions that require it. SentinelOne has long believed this partnership between agentic automation and human expertise is key to defending against modern, AI powered threats.
“We believe this recognition reflects what we built Wayfinder to be,” said Steve Stone, Chief Customer Officer, SentinelOne. “Security teams need a partner closing out threats, not another tool alerting them to problems. AI does the work at scale: the correlation, the triage, the hunting across endpoint, cloud, and identity. Our people take it from there, applying the expert human judgment that a customer’s specific environment and risk tolerance demand. Technology gets faster, and the human accountability stays constant. It’s a combination that delights customers and frustrates threat actors.”
Inside Wayfinder MDR:
- Alerts that reach a human move fast: a 3.3-minute average mean-time-to-detect in MITRE ATT&CK evaluation
- An 18-minute average mean-time-to-respond, against a 60-minute SLA, with 90% of critical alerts answered within 45 minutes
- Every customer receives a $1 million Breach Response Warranty as a standard inclusion, backed by eight global delivery locations providing round-the-clock coverage
Wayfinder also holds FedRAMP High authorization, extending the service to federal agencies under the same performance standards. This spring, SentinelOne extended Wayfinder into proactive exposure management with Wayfinder Frontier AI Services, pairing SentinelOne security experts with frontier AI models, starting with Anthropic’s Claude Security, to help close real-world attack paths before adversaries can use them.

This latest recognition arrives as SentinelOne continues to extend Wayfinder, a portfolio that spans Threat Hunting, MDR, and Incident Readiness & Response, into adjacent capabilities: federal authorization, an insurance-linked posture reporting capability planned for the second half of 2026, and now a proactive, AI-augmented exposure management offering, with Frontier AI. Each of these extends Wayfinder’s value beyond core detection and response and into adjacent areas, including federal, regulated, and insurance-adjacent customers.
