What are the facts, side by side?

|---|---|---|
| Owner | SentinelOne (acquisition announced 5 August 2025; SentinelOne's blog of 3 September 2025 is titled SentinelOne Acquires Prompt Security) | None |
| Positioning | Prompt Security, now part of SentinelOne, inventories AI tools and code assistants, including unsanctioned shadow AI, through two local sensors, a browser extension and a dedicated AI endpoint agent, and is built into the SentinelOne Singularity Platform. | AI agent security that says it sits in the path of every AI agent across workstations, cloud and SaaS, with three capabilities: discovery, posture management that learns each agent's purpose, and runtime checks of every tool call, connection and resource draw against that purpose before it executes. |
| How it reaches devices | Two local sensors: a browser extension and a dedicated AI endpoint agent, managed from the SentinelOne Singularity Platform. Prompt Security argues that MDM or EDR integrations, which mostly run scripts periodically, are not enough.

Choose Prompt Security if
- You already run SentinelOne Singularity
- You need an inventory of AI tools and coding assistants first
Choose Sun if
- You want each agent action checked against that agent's purpose
Which limits should you check?
Prompt Security
- Two new local sensors to roll out, a browser extension and an endpoint agent, unless you already run SentinelOne.
- Tool-call decisions, blocking, warning and activity records for agent actions are not described on the pages we read, and no pricing is published.
Sun
- Sun's site is a single marketing page, so most details are not described.
- How it reaches devices is not described, and no price is published.
