Safeguard your business with SentinelOne – AI-powered deterrence, detection, and response.
At Tanglin Consultancy we understand today's threats and offer a comprehensive, cutting-edge security platform called SentinelOne as your go-to cyber security solution. Taking care of IT security in Auckland has never been easier.
Over 350,000 malware programs are written every single day. This alarming statistic underscores the growing need for robust IT security and expert cybersecurity solutions. Criminals are relentless and inventive, often staying one step ahead – which is why it's crucial to partner with an expert cybersecurity platform like SentinelOne from an authorised service provider like Tanglin.
It's tempting to picture cybercrime as something out of a spy thriller – shadowy hackers, government agencies, far-off targets. The reality is far more ordinary, and far closer to home. New Zealand businesses and institutions are targeted every day, and the consequences are very real.
Langley Twigg Law, January 2026. The Anubis ransomware group struck this Napier-based law firm, exfiltrating around 380GB of files – including client and staff passport scans, property transaction records, and settlement statements – and posting them to the dark web. Langley Twigg had security software in place, but their systems were breached during a planned migration to a new document management system. A High Court injunction preventing distribution has proved of limited practical value once material is in the criminal underground.
ManageMyHealth, December 2025. In one of the biggest privacy breaches in New Zealand's history, the Kazu ransomware group stole around 108GB of medical records – some 428,000 files affecting more than 120,000 patients – from the country's largest patient portal. The CEO later admitted the attackers had entered the system using a valid user password: a stark example of how a single lapse in basic credential hygiene can cascade into a national incident.
Auckland Transport, September 2023. The Medusa ransomware group took down AT's HOP card top-up network and demanded a US$1 million ransom. For nearly a week, commuters couldn't top up their cards online or at kiosks, and follow-up denial-of-service attacks continued for weeks after. AT refused to pay – but the disruption reached hundreds of thousands of Aucklanders.
Latitude Financial, March 2023. The trans-Tasman consumer lender – whose customers include shoppers at retailers like JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman across Australia and New Zealand – disclosed a breach in which attackers stole around 14 million customer records, including nearly 8 million driver's licence numbers and 53,000 passport numbers. The initial entry point was as ordinary as one set of employee login credentials, obtained via a third-party service provider.
Waikato DHB, May 2021. A major ransomware attack crippled hospital phone lines and computer systems, with attackers accessing sensitive patient, staff and financial data. Services were disrupted for weeks in what remains one of the most serious cyber attacks in New Zealand's history.
The simple truth is that we're all at risk. The question is no longer whether your business will be targeted, but whether your defences will hold when it is.
A sentinel is a soldier or guard whose single job is to stand watch – alert, constant, never off-duty. That's exactly what SentinelOne does for your systems. It stands guard over your devices and data around the clock, tracking down threats, protecting against them, and learning as it defends – so the countless new attacks that emerge every day are met before they can disable, harm or cripple your business in the seconds it takes them to strike.
SentinelOne offers a seamlessly integrated edge-to-edge cybersecurity platform that utilises AI-powered deterrence, detection, and response. It constantly evolves to defend against new threats, making it a reliable choice for businesses of all sizes.
As your dedicated SentinelOne Agent in Auckland, our mission is to prevent you from falling prey to the type of cybercrime that costs millions of dollars each year in resources and lost data for businesses that do not invest in expert security.
From one console, we watch every protected device – detecting malicious behaviour, isolating affected machines, and rolling back damage automatically, often before anyone notices a thing.
Illustrative dashboard. Live monitoring views vary by environment.
Endpoint protection like SentinelOne guards each device. But your first line of defence is the network edge – the boundary between your office and the open internet. That's why Tanglin deploys FortiGate firewalls to protect our clients' offices.
A FortiGate isn't a simple router. It's a dedicated security appliance that inspects every piece of traffic entering and leaving your network, blocking threats before they ever reach a computer. Paired with a Unified Threat Management (UTM) subscription, it becomes an always-current shield against the latest attacks – a layered defence that works alongside our endpoint and monitoring services rather than instead of them.
A firewall is only as good as the intelligence behind it. A FortiGate UTM subscription keeps your defences current – constantly updated with the latest threat data so the appliance can recognise and stop attacks that didn't even exist last week.
Detects and blocks attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in your systems, shutting down attacks as they happen rather than after the damage is done.
Scans traffic at the gateway, catching viruses, ransomware and malicious downloads before they can land on a single machine in your office.
Blocks access to malicious, fraudulent and inappropriate websites – cutting off a common route for phishing, scams and drive-by infections.
Filters out spam and email-borne threats at the perimeter, reducing the phishing and malware that ever reaches your team's inboxes.
Encrypted VPN connections let staff work safely from home or on the road, with the same protection they'd have sitting in the office.
The subscription continuously pulls the latest threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, so your firewall recognises brand-new attacks the moment they emerge.
It's tempting to think of a firewall as a one-off purchase – buy the box, plug it in, done. In reality, an unsubscribed firewall is a lock that never changes while criminals invent new keys every day. New malware, exploits and phishing campaigns appear constantly, and a firewall can only block what it knows about.
The Unified Threat Management subscription is what keeps your FortiGate effective. It feeds the appliance a continuous stream of updated threat signatures, web-filtering categories and intrusion-prevention rules, so the protection you bought stays current rather than slowly going stale. Without it, you still have a firewall – but one that's defending against last year's threats, not today's.
For a New Zealand business, the maths is simple: the annual cost of a UTM subscription is a fraction of the cost of a single ransomware incident, a data breach, or the downtime that follows. It's one of the most cost-effective layers of protection you can put in place, and Tanglin manages the whole thing for you – deployment, configuration, monitoring and renewals – so it simply works in the background.
Proactive cybersecurity is crucial to prevent cyber threats rather than reacting to them after an attack. It helps you avoid the financial and reputational damage that breaches can cause. By investing in expert cybersecurity services, you can protect your business from the inside out and avoid potential losses.
The questions businesses most often ask us about the platform we deploy to protect their devices.
SentinelOne's Singularity Endpoint is an AI-powered endpoint security platform that brings together endpoint protection (EPP), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and automated remediation in a single unified agent. It helps businesses prevent attacks, detect threats faster, and respond automatically across endpoints, identities and other environments.
Traditional endpoint security leans on signatures and manual response. SentinelOne uses AI and automation to detect, contain and remediate threats in real time. By correlating behaviour across endpoints and identities, it reduces both the time a threat goes undetected and the day-to-day operational overhead, compared with legacy antivirus and reactive EDR tools.
Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) focus on preventing known threats, while Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) detects and investigates active or unknown attacks. SentinelOne combines both in a single platform, enabling prevention, detection, investigation and response without needing separate tools or agents.
SentinelOne uses behavioural AI to identify malicious activity based on how processes behave, not just what they look like. That lets it detect unknown threats, automate its response, and correlate activity across endpoints and identities – without relying on constant signature updates.
It detects ransomware and advanced attacks by spotting malicious behaviour early and stopping it before damage can spread. If an attack does occur, the platform can automatically isolate affected devices, kill malicious processes, and roll changes back to restore systems to a trusted state.
Because most modern attacks involve compromised credentials, SentinelOne extends protection beyond the device to identity, monitoring user behaviour and access patterns. By correlating identity signals with endpoint activity, it helps catch account takeover, privilege abuse and lateral movement earlier.
