Eon and SentinelOne announce partnership to advance cloud data security and AI resilience. Combined capabilities will extend AI security with integrated data resilience, ransomware recovery, and protection for AI-driven infrastructure. Eon, an intelligent cloud infrastructure for data backups and AI provider, and SentinelOne, an AI security player, announced a partnership to help enterprise security teams protect, detect, and recover from threats across the full cloud data and AI attack surface.Organizations accelerating AI adoption face a compounding challenge: AI workloads depend on massive volumes of sensitive data, operate across complex cloud infrastructure, and run continuously at machine speed. Each stage of the AI lifecycle - from data, to infrastructure, and runtime - introduces new attack paths and failure modes that fragmented, legacy tools cannot address. The partnership between SentinelOne and Eon will focus on integrating the Singularity Platform's end-to-end AI security with Eon's cloud-native data resilience solution to protect the entire lifecycle of AI workloads. By combining SentinelOne's DSPM discovery and classification with Eon's Data Protection product and Cloud Backup Posture Management (CBPM) solution, including an industry-first ransomware protection for databases, organizations can ensure sensitive data is not only identified but also backed up and compliant. Eon's autonomous CBPM continuously classifies cloud resources and auto-applies backup policies. Built for high performance on top of object storage, Eon's open-format storage layer enables continuous anomaly detection and allows for granular restores to ensure clean data recovery. This unified approach will surface prioritized alerts for non-recoverable datastores, allowing security teams to bridge the gap between data sensitivity and operational resilience before high-risk data ever enters an AI pipeline. To defend vs. sophisticated threats, Eon's indexed storage metadata enables ransomware heuristics, such as entropy analysis, file extension change detection, behavioral anomaly monitoring, and snapshot locking in logically air-gapped vaults. Combined with SentinelOne's detection and response capabilities, as well as Purple AI's automated investigations, this synergy enables early detection of reconnaissance within model weights and training sets, providing a "shift-left" defense for the data layer and a deterministic recovery path through searchable backups and granular file-level restoration in the event of an attack. Furthermore, the collaboration extends to securing AI agents and autonomous infrastructure, monitoring these high-impact operational identities in real time to contain prompt manipulation or privilege escalation while ensuring the data layer remains immutable and recoverable. "AI has fundamentally changed the security equation. It's not just about protecting systems, but ensuring the data behind them is continuously protected, accessible, and recoverable," said Ofir Ehrlich, CEO and co-founder, Eon. "SentinelOne has built one of the most advanced AI-driven security platforms, and together we're extending that intelligence into the data layer. We're enabling a new model of security - one where organizations can not only detect and respond to threats, but fully recover and continue operating without disruption." "AI security requires protecting data, infrastructure, and runtime as one connected system," said Rob Salvagno, Chief Corporate Development Officer, SentinelOne. "Eon adds the data resilience layer that makes this vision complete. The investment reflects conviction that data recoverability is foundational to AI security. Together, the companies deliver protection and recovery across the full AI lifecycle." As part of the deal, SentinelOne has also invested in Eon through its investment branch, S Ventures. The investment underscores SentinelOne's belief that the next era of AI security will be defined by the ability to make data not just protected, but usable - and that Eon is the only platform purpose-built to deliver that capability at scale.

Eon launches industry-first ransomware solution for cloud databases, expanding enterprise data protection capabilities. Platform extends immutable, air-gapped protection to databases alongside VMs and object storage, delivering unified defense against $74B in annual ransomware threats. As enterprises abandon on-premise servers and modernize in the cloud, a massive security gap has opened in protecting databases, which are the "brains" of the modern economy. Eon, an intelligent data and AI infrastructure platform, closes that gap with the introduction of the first ransomware protection designed specifically for cloud databases. This addition to Eon's existing ransomware protection suite enables organizations to fully detect and recover potential ransomware corruption or anomalous behavior and restore trusted data across all modern cloud workloads.With ransomware damage costs projected to reach $74B in 2026, a 30% increase from 2025, enterprises face a pressing need for comprehensive cloud data protection, but more than half lack the components required for full recovery from ransomware attacks. Eon's new protection capabilities address this need directly, becoming the first platform to provide unified ransomware protection across managed and self-hosted cloud databases, VMs, and object storage, eliminating the choice between paying attackers or enduring prolonged operational shutdowns. "Legacy protection tools scan files and disks for ransomware, but as customers modernized, these solutions lagged behind, leaving databases exposed. Attackers today are exploiting this blind spot, and organizations often don't discover corrupted data until they're attempting recovery," said Ofir Ehrlich, CEO and co-founder, Eon. "True resilience requires full visibility into your backups and a reliable path to full restoration. We've built our ransomware protection package to ensure your cloud data stays secure, uncorrupted, and ready to drive intelligence no matter what." Eon's cloud-native platform detects threats and validates recovery points without expanding the attack surface. By analyzing the contents of database backups, Eon automatically identifies trusted recovery points and enables fast restoration of clean data in minutes instead of days. Because backups remain indexed and queryable, security teams can investigate corrupted data and restore only trusted records without rebuilding entire environments. Key benefits of Eon's ransomware protection for databases include: * Greater Visibility: Detect ransomware signals, including database-level anomalies such as row-count drops, schema changes, and cardinality shifts across Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, RDS, and other cloud databases * Unified Protection Across Cloud Workloads: Detect and recover from ransomware attacks across VMs, object storage, and databases from a single console * Cloud-Native, Agentless Design: Direct integration with cloud provider APIs eliminates the need for appliances or infrastructure changes * Air-Gapped Security: Immutable, logically air-gapped vaults protect backups from deletion or modification, even when production systems are compromised Read also: New Eon integration with Microsoft Fabric and Microsoft OneLake eliminates costly data duplication, turning database backups into live, queryable assets for AI and analytics The round includes prior lead investors Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Greenoaks, and BOND, with participation from Affinity, Omri Casspi, Vine Ventures and others, tripling Eon's valuation to $4B amidst explosive customer traction
