In today’s AI-powered enterprise, data has become both the crown jewel and the weakest link. At SentinelOne, we’ve long believed in defending the modern enterprise with autonomous, AI-driven solutions that secure every edge of the attack surface. Now, as data emerges as the new perimeter, we see a frontier that demands not just protection, but real-time visibility, governance, and control at the pace of innovation.

That’s why S Ventures, SentinelOne’s venture arm, is proud to announce our investment in Theom.ai, a company redefining data security and governance for the GenAI era.

From DSPM to DOC | Why the Status Quo Isn’t Enough

Over the past few years, Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) has emerged as a critical category, helping organizations locate and classify sensitive data across cloud and SaaS environments. These tools provide valuable visibility using metadata scans and classification engines.

But as data increasingly flows between users, platforms, applications, and AI systems, DSPM tools often struggle to keep pace. They typically operate outside core workflows and fall short of delivering the real-time enforcement and contextual intelligence that today’s security and governance teams require. Visibility is only the beginning. What’s needed now is integrated control, actionable insight, and automation designed for the complexity of modern data ecosystems.

Enter Theom — the first AI-native Data Operations Center (DOC) platform. More than just another DSPM tool, Theom integrates AI together with security into a unified, action-oriented platform designed for modern enterprises and backed with AI and data governance.

A Data Operations Center (DOC) for the Modern Enterprise

Theom is purpose-built to secure and govern enterprise data across structured, unstructured, and AI-generated contexts. Where traditional tools look at static metadata, Theom goes further: It analyzes user identity, intent, data usage, lineage and actions in real-time across platforms like Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Azure and beyond. It answers the critical “Who, What, Where, When, and Why” behind every data access and then takes proactive steps to prevent misuse, breaches, and compliance failures.

Theom empowers organizations through:

• Agentless, real-time visibility into sensitive data flows and environments
• AI-powered impersonation and data misuse detection and insider threat mitigation
• Automated enforcement of data contracts and governance policies
• Seamless integration with enterprise platforms, including leading GenAI tools

In a dynamic and collaborative enterprise where data is constantly moving between tools, third-party apps, and distributed teams, Theom meets the moment with a platform that’s designed not just to monitor data and GenAI systems, but to secure it at its core.

Securing Data to Empower Innovation & Making the Right Decisions

Data is no longer just an asset – it’s an active element fueling business decisions and digital collaboration. But as access becomes more democratized, especially with GenAI, the risk surface shifts. Security must now follow the data, adapting in real time to how and where it’s used.

This shift demands intelligence rooted in context, intent, and automation. Theom delivers just that – embedding governance directly into how data operates across the enterprise. It’s not just visibility; it’s clarity and control, without compromise.

Theom’s DOC doesn’t just flag anomalies; it interprets them through a lens of business risk and regulatory exposure. Analysts can act immediately and confidently, reducing the gap between insight and enforcement. The result: cross-functional alignment, faster decision-making, and security that accelerates, not impedes, collaboration.

A Shared Vision of Autonomous Security

At SentinelOne, we see clear parallels between our approach to cybersecurity and Theom’s commitment to keeping data safe. Both platforms share a common DNA: autonomous protection, real-time context, and deep integration across complex environments.

As the security perimeter shifts from infrastructure to data, Theom’s approach complements and extends the SentinelOne Singularity Platform from endpoints, cloud workloads and identities to the data powering AI and modern applications.

Together, we are shaping a future where enterprises can confidently adopt GenAI, accelerate innovation, and remain continuously compliant – all without sacrificing control or disrupting operational workflows.

Looking Ahead

Theom’s rapid traction with Fortune 100 enterprises, its seasoned founding team, and its differentiated technology have made it one of the most promising new platforms in the security space. We’re thrilled to partner with them as they scale their vision and deliver the Data Operations Center enterprises so urgently need.

We believe data security should be as autonomous, intelligent, and integrated as the AI systems it protects. That’s what Theom is building, and that’s why S Ventures is proud to partner with them on this journey.
