SentinelOne’s shares declined 6% after the cybersecurity company announced it would lay off 8% of its full time employees to concentrate on artificial intelligence and data investments.
CEO Tomer Weingarten explained that the layoffs are part of a strategic effort to reduce complexity, improve performance, and create a more agile organization.
He highlighted that the company has already seen productivity improvements from increased AI integration.
The company expects a one time $25 million charge related to the layoffs and reported having over 3,000 employees at the end of April.
This move aligns with a broader trend among tech firms to cut headcount and reallocate resources toward AI driven innovation and automation.
