== Founders and the IDF ==<br />
SentinelOne's founders served in the [[Israel Defense Forces]], but have stressed that they were outsiders to the [[Unit 8200]] network. In a 2021 interview ''Calcalist'' wrote that [[Tomer Weingarten|Weingarten]] and [[Almog Cohen|Cohen]] "were not the typical Israeli tech founders, not former soldiers in an elite technology military unit". Asked about his military service, Weingarten said he had wanted to join the IDF's computing corps, MAMRAM, "but somehow we rolled into all sorts of roles in the military". He added: "We are not anyone's friends, we did not serve anywhere notable in the military and we don’t know people", and "We do not have the 8200’s frame of mind". He said many investors had asked "if I was 8200 or 81, and the answer was no".<ref name="CtechS1">Hagar Ravet and Meir Orbach, [https://www.calcalistech.com/ctech/articles/0,7340,L-3917654,00.html “We are not part of the Israeli cyber clique, which is our strength”], ''Ctech'', 12 September 2021, accessed 21 October 2026.</ref> Cohen left the company about three years after it was founded.<ref name="CtechS1" /><br />

== Acquisitions ==<br />
In August 2025 ''Ctech'' reported that SentinelOne was buying [[Prompt Security]], a generative-AI security start-up whose founders were "both graduates of Israel's elite [[Unit 8200|8200 Unit]]", for about $250 million.<ref name="CtechPrompt">Sophie Shulman, [https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/im5ma59bu SentinelOne buys two-year-old GenAI cyber startup Prompt for $250M], ''Ctech'', 4 August 2025, accessed 21 October 2026.</ref><br />
