Duerden will lead SentinelOne’s accelerated efforts at a time where cyber resilience is now inseparable from national resilience.

“Threat actors are highly active and ANZ organisations are innovating at speed, particularly in AI adoption, that innovation must be secured just as quickly,” said Jason Duerden, AVP, ANZ, SentinelOne. “SentinelOne has thousands of customers operating their business on top of the Singularity Platform, securing their AI era transformation. Our AI-native platform gives defenders the upper hand, not just to respond to threats, but to stay well ahead of them. At a time of global uncertainty and conflict, sovereign cybersecurity capabilities matter. We are investing for the long term in ANZ, strengthening sovereign capability, deepening partnerships, and ensuring our region’s defenders have the ultimate security advantage in their hands ” Duerden added.

SentinelOnes platform capabilities map to both the Australian and New Zealand cybersecurity strategies, positioning the company as a trusted and proven partner to government and regulated industries.

Duerden brings over a decade of experience in cybersecurity and enterprise technology leadership.
