Bell Canada and SentinelOne® join forces to provide advanced endpoint protection for Canadian business

Two powerful leaders in cybersecurity to expand and elevate security capabilities for Bell's enterprise customers.

MONTRÉAL and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 1, 2024 /CNW/ - Bell Canada (TSX: BCE) (NYSE: BCE), Canada's largest communications1 company and recognized security services leader2, and SentinelOne (NYSE: S), a global leader in AI-powered security, announce today that they are coming together to provide extensive data protection services for Bell's enterprise customers. The partnership marks SentinelOne's first partnership with a major telecommunications company in Canada.

As threat actors continue to escalate their operations – in scale and intensity – organizations in all sectors must enhance their security teams' capabilities and protect all endpoints. The combined capabilities of Bell and SentinelOne will provide true end-to-end protection, empowering modern enterprises to defend faster, at greater scale, and with higher accuracy across their entire attack surface.

With new solutions coming to market later in 2024, Bell will leverage SentinelOne's Singularity™ Platform to amplify its advanced enterprise Security Operations Centre (SOC) services (BSURE and MTDR - Managed Threat Detection and Response). SentinelOne revolutionized endpoint protection more than a decade ago with the platform, and Bell's security experts will leverage it to help customers gain visibility and insight into data across the entire enterprise and act on it to secure their environments.
