SailPoint has announced plans to acquire Tel Aviv-based Entro, a specialist in non-human identity and credentials security, in a move set to significantly expand its recently launched Agentic Fabric platform.
The deal will see Entro’s technology folded into SailPoint’s platform, bringing with it out-of-the-box coverage for over 1,000 NHI and agent types, alongside the ability to discover more than 1,200 credential types, including secrets, keys, tokens and certificates, across more than 70 enterprise sources. These span cloud environments, developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and SaaS and collaboration environments.
Upon close, three core capabilities from Entro are expected to be integrated into SailPoint’s Agentic Fabric. The first is agentless visibility into the tools, APIs and credentials that AI agents and machine identities rely on to carry out tasks, enabling deeper, policy-driven governance over agent workflows and operational boundaries. The second centres on lineage mapping, using metadata to link non-human identities back to their human owners, capturing relationships, permissions, usage patterns and potential blast radius. Combined with SailPoint’s existing access certification and lifecycle governance tools, this is intended to enable automated remediation and enforcement of zero-standing privileges. The third is real-time protection through Entro’s proprietary Non-Human Identity Detection and Response (NHIDR) technology, allowing continuous monitoring of AI agents and machine identities for behavioural anomalies, with automated threat mitigation capabilities.
The acquisition reflects a broader industry shift in how enterprise security is being reconsidered. As organisations increasingly deploy autonomous AI agents and complex cloud architectures, traditional perimeter-based security models are becoming less relevant. Security is now being defined by what or who is accessing data, under what circumstances, and with what credentials. SailPoint’s move to absorb Entro is positioned as a response to this changing threat landscape, offering customers a unified platform for managing both human and non-human identities.
SailPoint is described in the press release as defining a new era of adaptive identity security, with an AI-powered platform that unifies identity, security and data intelligence to protect enterprises from advanced identity-based threats. The company says it delivers identity solutions that span both the breadth of identities and the depth of context required for real-time access decisions.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to conclude in the third quarter of fiscal year 2027.
SailPoint CEO and founder Mark McClain 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 co-founder and CEO Itzik Alvas 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.”
