Outpace Cyber Threats with Agentic AI + Human Ingenuity
Tomer Weingarten
RSA Conference 2025 · Day 3 · West Stage
SentinelOne CEO Tomer Weingarten delivered a candid assessment of an industry he believes has failed to solve its most fundamental problems, even as it races to deploy AI. His prescription: stop pursuing checkbox security and "magic promises," accept collective accountability, and embrace a human-plus-AI model in which autonomous systems handle detection and response at machine speed while human operators shift from incident-chasers to strategic supervisors. The vehicle for that vision is SentinelOne's unified, open AI cybersecurity platform — what Weingarten calls a "meta layer" connecting every security product, data source, and enforcement point in a single reasoning system. ---
AI review
Weingarten's RSA debut is better than most CEO keynotes because he actually calls out the industry's failure, including his own sector's vendor marketing problem, before pivoting to the product story. The accountability argument lands. The 'meta layer' platform vision is ambitious, but the candor about 2024 being catastrophic is the kind of honesty RSA stages rarely see from a sitting CEO.
