SailPoint to acquire Entro to expand AI and non-human identity security capabilities

Texas, United States – SailPoint has announced its intention to acquire Entro, a Tel Aviv-based provider of non-human identity (NHI) and credentials security solutions, in a move aimed at expanding its identity security platform and accelerating the development of its recently launched Agentic Fabric framework.

The proposed acquisition, announced on June 15, is expected to strengthen SailPoint’s capabilities in securing AI agents, machine identities, and other non-human entities as enterprises increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, cloud-native architectures, and automated workflows.

According to SailPoint, integrating Entro’s technology into its platform is expected to provide customers with broader visibility into non-human identities and the credentials they use to access enterprise systems and data. The company said the move aligns with its strategy of delivering adaptive identity security across human, machine, and agent identities.

Mark McClain, CEO and founder of SailPoint, said, “The recent launch of our Agentic Fabric established a new paradigm for securing autonomous AI agents and non-human identities at scale, including native discovery, governance and protection. By bringing Entro’s powerful and complimentary technology into our SailPoint platform, we will be giving our customers an even bigger advantage: frictionless, complete visibility into every non-human identity and—crucially—the context and credentials they use to access critical corporate data.”

Entro specialises in discovering and securing credentials and non-human identities operating across cloud environments. The company’s technology is designed to identify machine identities, secrets, keys, tokens, certificates, and other credentials used by applications, automation tools, and AI systems.

Itzik Alvas, co-founder and CEO of Entro, said, “We built Entro with a clear mission: to secure the modern cloud by discovering and protecting the sheer volume of credentials and non-human identities powering it. As enterprises embrace more automation and agentic workloads, this massive identity layer is only becoming more critical to protect. We are excited to integrate our deep, seamless discovery and lineage mapping engine into SailPoint’s comprehensive identity security framework and Agentic Fabric. I believe that together, our combined non-human and AI capabilities will supercharge SailPoint’s proven ability to secure every identity, human and non-human, across the global enterprise landscape.”

SailPoint said Entro’s capabilities are expected to complement Agentic Fabric in several areas, including identity discovery, ownership attribution, and real-time protection.

The company noted that Entro’s platform provides agentless discovery of AI agents, machine identities, APIs, and credentials across enterprise environments. SailPoint said this would expand its coverage to more than 1,000 non-human identity and agent types, as well as more than 1,200 credential types across over 70 enterprise sources, including cloud platforms, developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, software-as-a-service applications, and collaboration systems.

In addition, Entro’s lineage mapping capabilities are expected to help organisations link non-human identities to human owners by providing contextual information on permissions, usage patterns, and potential impacts. SailPoint said this could support governance processes such as access certification, lifecycle management, and automated remediation.

The acquisition is also expected to add Entro’s Non-Human Identity Detection and Response (NHIDR™) technology, which continuously monitors machine identities and AI agents for anomalous behavior. SailPoint said the capability could help organisations identify excessive privileges, enforce least-privilege access policies, and automate responses to potential threats.

The company stated that these features are intended to address security, privacy, and compliance concerns associated with enterprise AI deployments while providing customers with greater visibility and control over both human and non-human identities.

The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of SailPoint’s fiscal year 2027.
