Scope. This audit covers SentinelOne, Inc., its disclosed subsidiaries, and controlling-principal conduct relevant to the requested political-forensics scope. SentinelOne’s 2026 proxy identifies co-founder, President, CEO and Chair Tomer Weingarten as holding 29.99% total voting power when an irrevocable proxy over Almog Cohen’s shares is included.1 The company’s FY2026 Form 10-K and subsidiaries exhibit identify continuing operations and subsidiaries in Israel.2, 3

Corporate Communications & Public Stance

Statements

Following the 7 October 2023 attacks and outbreak of war, Weingarten told CRN that SentinelOne’s Israeli team was “bracing for war,” that employees were being drafted, and that he expected disruption to company operations to remain limited.4 On 24 October 2023, SentinelLabs published research on state-sponsored cyber activity connected to the Israel-Hamas war, while a separate company cybercrime update described disinformation, DDoS activity and scams exploiting events in Israel and Gaza.5, 6 SentinelLabs’ 2023 review likewise treated the Israel-Hamas war as a new cyber-conflict research area.7

No public evidence identified in the reviewed material of an official SentinelOne statement endorsing Israeli settlement policy, opposing a ceasefire, opposing the ICJ or ICC, or advocating a specific territorial outcome.

Comparative public posture

In March 2022, SentinelOne published a Ukraine security guide that described the humanitarian and security consequences of Russia’s invasion and offered businesses in Ukraine 90 days of free access to its Singularity platform.8 The Israel/Gaza material located in this research centered on cyber-threat analysis and operational continuity rather than a comparable public free-service offer.4, 5, 6 This is a factual comparison of the reviewed public material; it does not establish the complete universe of company assistance in either conflict.

In April 2025, SentinelOne also issued an official corporate statement responding to a U.S. executive order concerning Chris Krebs, describing the White House as a cybersecurity collaborator and emphasizing continued partnerships with the U.S. government, military and intelligence community.9

Market framing

SentinelOne’s FY2026 Form 10-K describes Israel as a material operating location: the company has a Tel Aviv office, conducts a substantial part of research and development in Israel, and reported that approximately 11% of personnel were in Israel at 31 January 2026.2 The filing frames the Israeli presence as part of its global cybersecurity business and risk-management footprint.2

Operations in Occupied or Contested Territories

Territorial presence

SentinelOne’s FY2026 subsidiaries exhibit lists Sentinel Labs Israel Ltd. and Prompt Security Ltd. as Israeli subsidiaries.3 Its FY2026 Form 10-K identifies a Tel Aviv office and Israeli personnel, while a January 2026 Form 8-K describes an Israeli Tax Authority agreement covering intercompany matters between SentinelOne and Sentinel Labs Israel Ltd., including utilization of Israeli-subsidiary intellectual property.2, 10

No public evidence identified in targeted searches of a SentinelOne office, subsidiary, facility, or named operating site in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, or the Golan Heights.

The January 2026 Israeli Tax Authority agreement concerns transfer pricing, intercompany transactions and Israeli-subsidiary intellectual property for fiscal years 2021 through 2025; the filing does not describe settlement activity or an Israel/Palestine political-policy dispute.10

No public evidence identified in the reviewed OHCHR-settlement-database, Who Profits, AFSC Investigate, or named civil-society searches of SentinelOne being listed for settlement-related business activity.

Civil-society and boycott campaign history

No public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of SentinelOne being named as a corporate target in the authoritative settlement-business or civil-society lists searched for this audit. This negative finding is limited to the searches documented in the research notes.

Internal Governance, Content & Retail Policies

Employee relations

No public evidence identified of SentinelOne disciplining employees for pro-Palestinian speech, political symbols, or organizing related to Israel/Palestine.

The company’s FY2026 risk disclosures state that personnel in Israel have been affected by the armed conflict and that SentinelOne has taken measures to support business continuity.2 That disclosure does not describe an employee political-speech rule.2

Platform and editorial policy

SentinelOne describes itself as a cybersecurity company whose platform protects enterprise endpoints, cloud workloads and identities.2, 11 no public evidence identified of a consumer social-media, news, advertising, mapping or app-store content-moderation role that would make Palestine-related editorial suppression a normal feature of its product.

Retail and supply-chain practices

No public evidence identified of public controversies or regulatory actions involving SentinelOne labeling or retail sourcing of settlement-origin consumer goods. Its disclosed business is enterprise cybersecurity software and services.2, 11

Brand Heritage & State Partnerships

Marketing positioning and security-sector heritage

SentinelOne’s current Form 10-K states that its Tel Aviv team draws from a “deep pool” of Israeli military cybersecurity and intelligence expertise.2 This supports a workforce and talent-pipeline connection to Israeli military/intelligence cybersecurity experience, but the filing does not say SentinelOne is owned or controlled by the Israeli state.2

Institutional ties and sponsorships

SentinelOne publicly engages with U.S. government cybersecurity institutions. In 2025, Vice President of Government Affairs Andrew Howell supported federal cyber-threat-information legislation in a U.S. Senate committee stakeholder release.12 In January 2025, SentinelOne Vice President Brandon Wales testified before the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security on global cyber threats.13 SentinelOne’s April 2025 corporate statement also emphasized continued work with U.S. government, military and intelligence customers and partners.9

No public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of a SentinelOne corporate sponsorship of a settlement event or a state-backed “Brand Israel” cultural campaign.

Lobbying, Advocacy, Financing & Logistics

Political lobbying and advocacy

A U.S. Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act filing for Q4 2023 reports $60,000 in lobbying income to Hill East Group for SentinelOne. The listed issues concern artificial intelligence and machine learning in cybersecurity, safe and effective AI, endpoint detection and response at federal civilian agencies, general cybersecurity policy, and Department of Homeland Security appropriations.14 The filing does not list Israel, Palestine, settlements, boycotts or Middle East policy among the reported issues.14

SentinelOne’s 2025 public-policy activity also included support for federal cyber-threat-information legislation and House testimony on global cyber threats.12, 13 These reviewed examples document cybersecurity-policy advocacy, not Israel-specific lobbying.12, 13, 14

Financial contributions

A SentinelOne Schedule 13G/A filed in February 2024 states that, as of 31 December 2023, the Weingarten Foundation held SentinelOne Class B shares and that Tomer Weingarten and his wife served on the foundation’s board.15 The foundation’s FY2023 nonprofit record likewise lists Tomer Weingarten as president/chair.16

Public IRS-derived grant data reports a FY2024 $15,000 Weingarten Foundation grant to Friends of Bshvil Hamachar and a $5,000 grant to the Israeli-American Council; a separate grant database independently records the $5,000 Israeli-American Council contribution.17, 18 Friends of Bshvil Hamachar states that it provides trauma, recovery and resilience programs for Israeli army combat reservists; it says that after 7 October 2023 it expanded programs for recalled reservists and that its model has been adopted by the IDF and Ministry of Defense.19 The reviewed records do not state that the $15,000 grant purchased weapons, combat equipment, or operational military services.17, 19

The Israeli-American Council describes its mission as strengthening Israeli-American identity and the relationship between the United States and Israel.20 IAC for Action, a separate sister organization, describes itself as a 501(c)(4) that engages policymakers and supports anti-boycott and other pro-Israel legislative activity.21 The reviewed grant record names the Israeli-American Council, not IAC for Action, and no evidence identified traces the $5,000 foundation grant to the sister advocacy organization or to lobbying.17, 20, 21

The available evidence establishes Tomer Weingarten’s foundation governance connection through 2023 and separately establishes the foundation’s FY2024 grants; the reviewed sources do not establish that the FY2024 grants were SentinelOne corporate expenditures.15, 16, 17

Crisis asset mobilization

SentinelOne’s 2022 Ukraine response included 90 days of free Singularity-platform access for businesses in Ukraine.8 no public evidence identified in the reviewed records of SentinelOne, Inc. providing weapons, physical logistics, or a documented corporate donation to the IDF, FIDF, JNF/KKL, a settlement organization, or an Israeli military-welfare fund.

Corporate Structure & Primary Mission

SentinelOne, Inc. is the public reporting parent in the reviewed SEC filings, with disclosed subsidiaries that include Sentinel Labs Israel Ltd. and Prompt Security Ltd. in Israel.2, 3 The January 2026 Israeli Tax Authority agreement further documents intercompany dealings between SentinelOne and Sentinel Labs Israel Ltd.10

The company’s official description and Form 10-K present its primary business as cybersecurity software and services rather than a chartered geopolitical or state-advocacy mission.2, 11 no public evidence identified in the reviewed corporate records of an Israeli state ownership stake, golden share, or parent entity above SentinelOne, Inc.

Executive & Leadership Footprint

Controlling-principal status

SentinelOne’s 2026 proxy identifies Tomer Weingarten as co-founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chair and reports 29.99% total voting power after including an irrevocable proxy over Almog Cohen’s voting securities.1 SentinelOne’s official investor biography separately confirms his co-founder, CEO, President and Chair roles.22

Personal philanthropy and financing

The strongest principal-linked financial evidence located concerns the Weingarten Foundation. SentinelOne’s February 2024 Schedule 13G/A and the foundation’s FY2023 tax record tie Tomer Weingarten to foundation governance as of 2023.15, 16 IRS-derived FY2024 grant data records the Bshvil Hamachar and Israeli-American Council grants, but the reviewed sources do not establish that Tomer Weingarten personally directed those grant decisions.15, 17

The FY2024 filing gives a fiscal-year period rather than transaction dates for those grants, so the public record reviewed here does not establish whether either grant occurred before or after 19 July 2024 or the November 2024 ICC warrants.17

Public advocacy and affiliations

Weingarten’s documented October 2023 public comments concerned staff mobilization, war conditions and expected operating continuity in Israel.4 no public evidence identified in the reviewed sources of Weingarten personally holding a board seat in AIPAC, FIDF, JNF/KKL, Regavim, Im Tirtzu, or a settlement organization, or of a personal public endorsement of settlement expansion.

SentinelOne’s current filings establish that its Israeli operating footprint persisted into 2026, and its public cybersecurity-policy engagement continued in 2025.2, 12, 13 Those facts establish continuing corporate activity after July and November 2024, but the reviewed post-2024 records do not establish new Israel/Palestine lobbying or settlement advocacy.2, 12, 13
