Recently Wiz mentioned that it was considering buying cloudy security outfit SentinelOne, but now it seems the pair are at war.
SentinelOne said that it had terminated its exclusive partnership with Wiz due to “lack of execution” by the cloud security firm and failed to mention anything to do with a takeover.
The dark satanic rumour mill suggests that the venture-backed Wiz’s comments had miffed SentinelOne’s leadership to the point it wanted to axe the six-month-old collaboration.
In the statemen, SentinelOne said it “terminated its re-sell agreement with Wiz as a result of their continued lack of execution against their commitments.”
Additionally, “the Wiz partnership has not been material to our business,” SentinelOne said in the statement.
The partnership included an integration between SentinelOne’s cloud workload protection platform and complementary capabilities from Wiz, including its widely used cloud security posture management technology.
