and mobile security solutions. Prior to Avast, Matula held regional
engineering leadership positions at companies including Cisco and

“Siggi and Martin have distinguished themselves as leaders in

“SentinelOne has established itself as a leader in providing
autonomous protection as organizations continue to navigate cloud
transformations and complex hybrid and distributed environments,”
said Petursson. “I look forward to leveraging my past experience to
delight customers, assuring the quality of SentinelOne’s cutting
edge technology.”

company’s continued growth and success on a worldwide scale.”
