Neckarsulm, September 18, 2025 – In an effort to combat the increasing threat of cybercrime and hybrid attacks, SentinelOne, XM Cyber, and Omniac have announced a strategic partnership to create a comprehensive, AI-powered security platform for businesses and the public sector.
This partnership brings together the strengths of each company to provide a holistic security solution that covers the entire attack lifecycle and all attack surfaces. The platform is already in use at Schwarz Group companies, showcasing its effectiveness in protecting critical data and processes.
The joint solution features SentinelOne’s AI-powered security platform, which offers real-time protection against cyber attacks, automatic vulnerability remediation, and support for managing security incidents. It is integrated with XM Cyber’s Continuous Exposure Management Platform, which identifies and maps exposures across external, enterprise, cloud, and hybrid attack surfaces. Additionally, the Omniac app and API service checks for personal data on deep, dark, and surface web to enhance identity protection for organizations and consumers.
Noam Erez, CEO and Co-Founder of XM Cyber, states, “The future of cybersecurity lies in creating intelligent, integrated platforms that provide clarity and drive decisive action. Our mission is to eliminate gaps in an organization’s security controls and protect against threat actors.”
Tomer Weingarten, CEO and Co-Founder of SentinelOne, adds, “We are in a new era of cyber war, where AI fights AI. For this, we need autonomous, AI-driven defense that can neutralize threats in real time. The Schwarz Digits solutions strengthen our platform tremendously.”
The new security platform is also available on Schwarz Digits’ sovereign European cloud STACKIT, providing complete data sovereignty for all customers and the highest security standards. The platform has already been implemented by Schwarz Group companies, demonstrating its effectiveness and potential for scalability.
Rolf Schumann, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits, explains, “Cybersecurity is a crucial aspect of our strategic direction, both for the Schwarz Group companies and the digital solutions we offer. With this partnership, we are succeeding in further developing the European and global market for cybersecurity and offering sovereign alternatives.”
Christian Müller, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits, adds, “Our partnership is a strong signal to all organizations that want to protect themselves appropriately in the age of AI – and to do so sovereignly and seamlessly.”
As one of the world’s largest retail groups, the Schwarz Group has an extensive IT and OT environment with over 14,200 stores, global production sites, and 595,000 employees. This provides an ideal testing ground for Schwarz Digits solutions, ensuring they are optimized and offer real value before being made available to the market.
