SentinelOne Drops Wiz Alliance After Citing Cyber Startup’s ‘Lack of Execution’

SentinelOne Inc. canceled a six-month-old strategic partnership with Wiz Inc., saying the union failed to help it build up its cloud security business.

(Bloomberg) — SentinelOne Inc. canceled a six-month-old strategic partnership with Wiz Inc., saying the union failed to help it build up its cloud security business. 

“We terminated our re-sell agreement with Wiz as a result of their continued lack of execution against their commitments,” a SentinelOne spokesperson said by email on Wednesday. “The Wiz partnership has not been material to our business.”

The move comes less than a week after Wiz, a New York-based cloud cybersecurity startup, said it was considering a bid to take over publicly-listed SentinelOne. Talks are in the early stage and Wiz Inc. has yet to hire a bank to oversee a deal.

The agreement to offer joint cloud security solutions was announced in March. The decision to end it was first reported by Calcalist.

A representative for Wiz declined to comment.
