Security Software Results Arrive in Stages, With Another Report Set for Nov. 18

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary - Cybersecurity software companies have spent the past two weeks putting new quarterly numbers and new AI security products on the record, and the reporting calendar is not finished. Palo Alto Networks said in a Nov. 3 release that it will release the financial results for its fiscal first quarter 2027, ending Oct. 31, 2026, after U.S. markets close on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2026. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Tenable Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), Gen Digital Inc. (NASDAQ: GEN), Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNS), and SentinelOne, Inc. (NYSE: S).

Ahead of that scheduled report, four of the five companies below reported quarterly results between Oct. 28 and Nov. 5, and two of those four said they raised their full-year outlooks or guidance. The fifth announced on Nov. 2 an integration that will extend its AI Security coverage to an agentic work application from Anthropic.

AI runs through the releases. One company said it integrated Anthropic's Claude Mythos into its exposure management platform, another said three new capabilities add coverage where employees use AI every day and where AI connects to models, tools, and data, and a third described itself as building the security and trust layer to empower people and their agents to navigate digital life more safely. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, shares of four of the five companies closed higher than their Tuesday closing prices, and all five closed above their final closing prices of 2025.

SentinelOne, Inc. (NYSE: S)

SentinelOne announced an integration with Anthropic's Claude Cowork on Nov. 2 that will extend SentinelOne's AI Security coverage to the agentic work application.

On Nov. 5, SentinelOne said it had been named the 2026 Technology Ecosystem Partner of the Year by Cloudflare. In March 2026, the two companies expanded their partnership so joint customers can get AI-driven insights from one place, with Cloudflare's Logpush telemetry ingested into SentinelOne's Singularity Platform. Melissa K. Smith, SVP, Global Strategic Partnerships and Initiatives, at SentinelOne, said: "Our integration strategy across the AI ecosystem is simple: secure AI work where it happens."
