SentinelOne has been recognized as a 2026 Google Cloud Partner of the Year for Security: Google Threat Intelligence, underscoring its deepening collaboration with Google Cloud in advancing AI-driven cybersecurity.

The recognition highlights the companies’ joint efforts in strengthening AI security, runtime protection, data sovereignty, and threat intelligence at global scale. SentinelOne, a long-standing Google Security partner, has validated integrations across Google Security Operations (SecOps), Google Threat Intelligence, and Chrome Enterprise.

The award follows a major expansion of the partnership announced earlier in 2026, focused on delivering autonomous, AI-powered security solutions that combine SentinelOne’s endpoint detection and response (EDR), AI security capabilities, and AI-native platform with Google Cloud’s infrastructure and intelligence.

“Being named Partner of the Year validates our shared mission to deliver AI-driven security at cloud scale,” said Melissa K. Smith, SVP of Global Strategic Partnerships & Initiatives at SentinelOne.

Melissa K. Smith, SVP of Global Strategic Partnerships & Initiatives at SentinelOne, said the recognition reflects a broader shift in cybersecurity. “Security leaders are no longer just defending endpoints — they are securing complex, high-velocity environments where data and cloud converge. Together with Google Cloud, we are redefining modern defense and delivering resilience at the speed of the cloud.”

Key areas of collaboration include:

  • Managed Detection & Response: SentinelOne Wayfinder services integrate human expertise with AI-driven threat detection powered by Google Threat Intelligence
  • Global scalability & data sovereignty: Expansion of the Singularity Platform across key regions including North America, Europe, and Saudi Arabia
  • Intelligence-led security: Enhanced threat context through the fusion of SentinelOne telemetry and Google Threat Intelligence
  • AI-era protection: Joint solutions designed to secure AI applications, agents, and enterprise environments

Kevin Ichhpurani, President of Global Partner Ecosystem and Channels at Google Cloud, said the awards recognize partners delivering measurable value and innovation. He noted that SentinelOne’s contributions have played a key role in driving customer success over the past year.

With this recognition, SentinelOne further strengthens its position in the rapidly evolving AI security landscape, as enterprises increasingly look for unified, intelligence-driven defense platforms to secure cloud-first and AI-powered environments.
