Entro to add complementary deep secrets discovery and non-human identity scanning, solidifying SailPoint’s leadership across all identity types—human, machine, and agent
AUSTIN, Texas, June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in enterprise identity security, today announced its intent to acquire Tel Aviv-based Entro, a pioneer in non-human identity (NHI) and credentials security. Upon completion, this acquisition will mark a strategic expansion and acceleration of the recently launched SailPoint Agentic Fabric, advancing SailPoint's vision to secure the modern enterprise with adaptive identity security across the entire digital ecosystem.
As organizations rapidly deploy autonomous AI agents, complex cloud architectures, and programmatic workflows, today's modern security demands are no longer defined by traditional perimeters. Instead, they are governed by who or what is accessing data, when, why, and under what conditions. By integrating Entro’s specialized capabilities to directly address the unique challenges of the AI era, SailPoint expects to further expand how customers easily identify, govern, and protect these high-risk assets from a single, unified platform.
Mark McClain, CEO and Founder of SailPoint commented:
"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."
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."
Accelerating SailPoint Agentic Fabric with Entro
Upon closing, Entro will provide additive and highly complementary technology features that SailPoint plans to integrate with Agentic Fabric, including:
- Unrivaled discovery & credentials coverage: Entro provides frictionless, agentless visibility into the specific tools, APIs, and credentials that AI agents and machine identities use to execute tasks. This will expand SailPoint’s reach with out-of-the-box coverage for more than 1,000+ NHI/agent types and the discovery of over 1,200 credential types (including secrets and keys, tokens, and certificates) across 70+ critical enterprise sources—including cloud environments, developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and SaaS/collaboration environments. By exposing the tools agents use to complete work, SailPoint will further enforce even deeper, policy-driven governance over agent workflows and their active operational boundaries.
- Deep context & human ownership attribution: Discovering identities is only the first step; they must be tied back to human identities for accountability. Complementing SailPoint’s native identity intelligence, Entro enriches discovered data with metadata to map exact relationships, permissions, usage, and "blast radius." This deep lineage mapping allows organizations to tie complex, non-human identities back to their human owners. Combined with SailPoint’s enterprise-grade access certification and lifecycle governance, customers will be able to drive automated, closed-loop remediation and enforce zero-standing privileges.
- Real-time detection & active protection: Once registered and governed, non-human identities must be protected in real time. With proprietary Non-Human Identity Detection and Response (NHIDR™) capabilities, SailPoint customers will be able to continuously monitor AI agents and machine identities for behavioral anomalies in real time, allowing organizations to expose over-privileged access, enforce least privilege, and automate threat mitigation at machine speed.
These capabilities directly address the top security, privacy, and compliance risks that IT and business leaders face when deploying AI agents. After the deal closes, SailPoint customers will enjoy an even broader level of visibility, ownership attribution, and control—transforming identity from a static compliance measure into a dynamic, real-time enabler of their enterprise success.
With the addition of Entro, SailPoint will continue to distance itself from legacy approaches by offering true end-to-end adaptive identity security.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal year 2027.
