Panasonic Connect and SentinelOne Partner to Bring AI Security to TOUGHBOOK Rugged Laptops
Newark, NJ – November 6, 2025 – Panasonic Connect North America, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, and SentinelOne® (NYSE:S), the leader in AI-native security, announced a collaboration to deliver end-to-end protection for devices and data operating at the network edge. Integrating SentinelOne’s AI-native Singularity™ Platform with Panasonic Connect’s TOUGHBOOK rugged laptops creates a stronger layer of security that helps protect organizations from both physical and cyber threats in the most challenging environments.
From the front lines of public safety to the far reaches of the power grid, organizations today face a dual challenge: navigating harsh physical environments while defending against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. This business partnership addresses both, by offering a solution that helps prevent, detect, and respond to threats in real time, even when devices are offline. This is an advantage for first responders, field technicians, and other mobile workers operating in disconnected areas.
Announced at SentinelOne’s OneCon 2025 conference, the new partnership will give new and existing TOUGHBOOK rugged laptop customers access to SentinelOne’s Singularity platform – including both its leading AI-native endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities, as well as a managed version of Singularity through the newly announced SentinelOne Wayfinder Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service.
“Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, and the critical work our frontline customers do can’t afford disruption,” said Dominick Passanante, Senior Vice President & General Manager for the Mobility Business at Panasonic Connect North America. “Our partnership with SentinelOne demonstrates the power of purposeful AI, defending people, data, and operations in situations where reliability isn’t optional.”
The partnership gives first responders secure access to critical systems in the field, keeps utility crews connected in remote locations, and ensures defense teams stay protected even when offline. Field service operations also gain from reduced downtime, lower IT burden, and reliable data integrity, no matter how unstable the network.
“Every day, frontline professionals put themselves in challenging environments to keep our communities safe and our infrastructure running,” said Melissa K Smith, SVP of Global Strategic Partnerships & Initiatives, SentinelOne. “With Panasonic Connect, we’re empowering organizations operating at the edge to defend with AI and to do so with confidence. By uniting the strength of AI security with the durability of TOUGHBOOK devices, we’re helping organizations protect what matters most—people, data, and mission-critical operations.”
Together, Panasonic Connect North America and SentinelOne are focused on equipping frontline teams with the resilience and security they need to safeguard their most critical assets and maintain uninterrupted operations. To learn more, visit here.
