Expanding Operations
CF: SentinelOne has expanded its Middle East and Africa operations with its new Dubai office. Is global expansion benefitting partners? If so, how?
KM: So interestingly enough, as companies mature and get to the size that we are, you normally see North America being the bulk of all of the business, and it’s still the bulk of our business, I think 70%-plus. But having the international business at 30% is really a testament to the solution around the globe. So this expansion with a Dubai office really just culminates more expansion internationally, more resources internationally, and more support structure for the partners and our customers. And if you look back when we acquired Attivo, they had a nice presence in the Middle East. We added the solution into our Singularity platform and we have some resources there. And now it just made sense to expand and have an office in Dubai where we can have people come together. We can bring customers in for executive briefings. It’s just the normal expansion. And it’s just a testament to the international strength that we have today.
