SailPoint, a prominent provider of enterprise identity security, has acquired Entro Security for an undisclosed amount. Entro Security is recognized as a pioneer in securing AI Agents and Non-Human Identities (NHI), which represent the fastest-growing and most exploited identity class in today's enterprises. Entro's NHIDR™ (Non-Human Identity Detection & Response) platform specializes in discovering and contextualizing every secret and machine identity, including API keys, tokens, service accounts, and AI agents, across the software development lifecycle. The platform ties each identity to its permissions, purpose, and human owner, enabling continuous detection of anomalous and risky behaviors in real-time for automated, risk-based remediation.
This strategic acquisition significantly expands SailPoint's identity security capabilities beyond traditional human identities to encompass the critical and rapidly evolving landscape of non-human identities. Entro's expertise directly addresses the escalating challenge of securing machine identities, which are increasingly central to modern enterprise operations and AI adoption. By integrating Entro's NHIDR™ platform, SailPoint aims to offer a more comprehensive identity governance solution, providing customers with full visibility and control over all identity types within their environments.
The synergy between the two companies is expected to empower organizations to innovate with greater confidence and speed, particularly as they accelerate the adoption of agentic AI. Entro's platform helps CISOs, identity, and application security teams gain full governance, eliminate sprawl, and safely manage the proliferation of machine identities. This integration will bridge the gap between security and development, ensuring that security measures keep pace with rapid technological advancements and the increasing reliance on non-human identities.
The combined entity is poised to deliver a holistic approach to identity security, addressing both human and non-human identity risks from a unified platform. This move strengthens SailPoint's position as a leader in the identity security market, enabling it to better serve global Fortune 500 companies and other enterprises navigating the complexities of securing an expanding digital footprint, especially with the rise of AI-driven operations.
