Purple Security Superintelligence and the new Singularity ASOC suite bring speed, scale and context to detection, investigation and response across the enterprise, with human defenders in command
SentinelOne® , the AI Security leader, unveiled Singularity™ ASOC (Autonomous Security Operations Center), an integrated suite powered by Purple Security Superintelligence that combines real-time data ingestion, agentic investigation, and automated response to give security teams a decisive advantage against attacks that now move at machine speed. Introduced at OneCon 2026, SentinelOne’s global customer conference, Singularity ASOC connects detection, investigation and response in one governed loop, with security practitioners setting the limits on what the system can do.

Singularity ASOC represents the latest advance in agentic innovation for security operations (SecOps) teams and a critical milestone in helping customers and partners realize the promise of the Autonomous SOC.
Bringing the AI Advantage to the Modern SOC
Security operations teams have already reached the limit of what human-paced work alone can cover. Detection engineering has improved but remains a highly manual task. Alert volumes outrun staffing plans. Investigation waits in a queue and coverage thins on nights, weekends and surges, the moments adversaries choose to move. An ever-expanding attack surface and more sophisticated TTPs mean more data is needed, yet this contributes to alert fatigue and an even more acute investigation gap. Agentic AI has helped attackers find new gaps and compress breach timelines. Meanwhile many defenders still work across siloed tools, rigid legacy SIEM and SOAR architectures, and manual handoffs that starve AI of the connected data it needs. Solving this requires connected data, agentic investigation, and automated response working as one continuous loop, with expert human analysts governing the outcome.
Purple Security Superintelligence
Purple is a specialized system of models built to outperform human teams at the specific work of detecting, investigating and stopping attacks, measured against human performance on the tasks that matter: finding the threat, reconstructing the evidence and enabling the right action.
Purple routes each task to the right model at the right point in the decision. SentinelOne’s behavioral and static AI on every endpoint and workload judges activity at its source and acts locally under policy, without a round trip to the cloud. Security-tuned and frontier models add context and deeper reasoning across the enterprise. SentinelOne adds new model classes, including fast decision models and compact models that reason directly on the device, as each proves itself in production. That gives Purple:
- Speed: decisions in milliseconds where local enforcement allows, and investigations that start while an incident is still unfolding.
- Scale: every alert investigated, including on nights, weekends and surges.
- Context: evidence connected across endpoint, identity, cloud and third-party sources.
- Memory: every investigation and analyst correction feeds tested improvements to the system.
- Consistency and accuracy: evidence-backed verdicts an analyst can inspect and challenge.
Human analysts set the mission, the acceptable risk and the authority for Purple to act. Learning makes Purple smarter over time. It never lets the system expand its own authority.
Purple is already doing this work for customers. Since the launch of the Purple Agentic Investigation capability, SentinelOne customers have completed more than 400,000 investigations of critical alerts and saved customers an estimated 332,000 analyst hours.
ASOC Unpacked
The Autonomous SOC detects, investigates, and responds at AI speed. Purple handles triage, correlation and first response, and analysts keep the decisions that matter. It runs on the Singularity Platform, a proven detection and response foundation. Out-of-the-box connectors cover SentinelOne’s endpoint, identity, cloud, and AI surface protection, plus dozens of the most popular security, cloud, and SaaS tools. It includes:
- Agentic Investigation. Investigates alerts end to end using native and third-party security data, gathering evidence and working toward a verdict, so analysts review findings instead of assembling them by hand.
- Hyperautomation. Automates response actions and workflows, closing the loop from verdict to remediation, so routine steps run at machine speed.
- AI Data Pipelines. Brings security data from across the environment into the SOC, so detection and investigation work from the data that matters.
- AI SIEM. Applies AI to security data to surface threats, with built-in incident and case management, so analysts start from what matters rather than from raw logs.
- Threat intelligence and IOC management. Brings threat intelligence into detection and investigation and manages indicators in one place, so analysts know who they’re facing and act on it without leaving the workflow.
For teams that want experienced people alongside Purple, Wayfinder’s expert-led MDR, threat hunting and incident response services extend Singularity ASOC with human judgment around the clock.
Bringing Security Data to the Modern SOC
Native AI, endpoint, cloud and identity telemetry is streamed directly into the Singularity Data Lake. AI Data Pipelines complement this telemetry, connecting and intelligently streaming third-party sources into Singularity Data Lake and other destinations, so teams can work from the data their operations already depend on.
AI Data Pipelines give every Singularity ASOC customer more than 50 out-of-the-box connectors to third-party sources today, spanning cloud, identity, email, network, SaaS, data platforms and vulnerability management, from AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft to Okta, Cisco, Proofpoint, Netskope, Snowflake, Atlassian, Oracle and Tenable. That includes data from other security vendors’ tools, such as Microsoft Defender XDR, Palo Alto Networks Prisma, Wiz, Darktrace, Sophos Central and Check Point, so teams can investigate and respond across their entire security stack, not only SentinelOne. Teams can also bring in other sources, including on-premises systems, through syslog and Kafka today, with OpenTelemetry and generic API collection on the way. AI Data Pipelines can also filter and route data to third-party SIEMs and storage as well as Singularity, so teams stay in control of where their data lives. SentinelOne is adding new connectors every quarter.
“Security teams can’t act on exposures they can’t see in context,” said Ray Komar, Vice President of Cloud and Technology Alliances, Tenable. “Bringing Tenable exposure data into Singularity ASOC puts vulnerability context in front of the analysts and automated workflows responding to threats, enabling teams to focus on the exposure paths attackers are most likely to exploit.”
Singularity Credits for Agentic Actions
Singularity ASOC uses Singularity Credits, SentinelOne’s flexible, unified currency that customers draw down across AI-powered in the Singularity Platform. Administrators set consumption guardrails, so AI-powered investigations, automated actions, as well as future agentic innovation runs within the limits the organization defines.
“The Autonomous SOC is not optional anymore. Attackers are using AI to move faster than any human-paced process can follow,” said Chris Corde, Chief Product Officer of SentinelOne. “Singularity ASOC brings Purple Agentic Investigation, AI SIEM, Hyperautomation, AI Data Pipelines and case management together as one offering on the Singularity Platform, so security teams run detection, investigation and response at machine speed, with analysts directing the work and every automated action staying inside the limits they set.”
“Purple isn’t a general superintelligence. It’s a specialized system that is faster and better than any human team at detecting, investigating and stopping attacks,” said Tomer Weingarten, co-founder and CEO of SentinelOne. “In the AI era, speed is the only thing that matters, and speed without evidence just amplifies mistakes. Singularity ASOC puts Purple to work across the whole SOC, with the evidence behind every verdict and people in command of every decision it’s allowed to make.”
