The Travelers Companies, Inc. said it has added a new feature for its CyberRisk and CyberFirst customers – cyber monitoring services from SentinalOne.

Sentinal One is a cybersecurity company focused on endpoint detection and response technology – a cyber defense tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify, immediately respond to and help prevent possible cyber threats such as ransomware.

Travelers cyber customers who sign up between June 15 and September 15 will receive the service at no additional cost for a 60-day trial period. Those interested in continuing the service will receive a 25 percent discount.

SentinelOne developed a platform that goes beyond prevention, looking for and detecting attacks by watching computers for any changes in files or systems – signs that a cyber event might take place. The platform then initiates an instant response, saving valuable time. This capability, which separates it from legacy and next-generation antivirus solutions, can help companies protect their corporate network when employees return from working remotely, the companies said.
