SailPoint acquires Entro for $200M to strengthen AI agent security through Agentic Fabric

SailPoint Entro Acquisition Targets Growing AI Agent Security Gap

SailPoint Technologies announced plans to acquire Entro Security, a Tel Aviv startup specializing in AI agent security, for approximately $200 million according to reports from Calcalist 1

. The Austin-based identity security giant disclosed the deal without revealing financial terms, but the transaction marks its second acquisition in Israel and landed on the same day that 1Password agreed to buy rival company Apono 1

1

. The dual announcements signal rapid identity security consolidation as enterprises rush to control the explosion of non-human identities now swarming through cloud environments.

The acquisition directly supports SailPoint's Agentic Fabric platform, which the company launched in March to govern autonomous agents and extend access controls beyond traditional human users 2

2

. SailPoint Chief Marketing Officer Wendy Wu emphasized that the deal "accelerates our native reach, bringing out-of-the-box coverage for over 1,000 NHI and agent types, plus the discovery of over 1,200 non-human identity types -- such as keys, tokens, certificates, and credentials" 2

Non-Human Identities Outnumber Humans 45 to One

As companies integrate AI agents, scripts and automated workflows into their operations, machine identities have proliferated at staggering rates. Industry estimates indicate that non-human identities now outnumber human users by 45 to one, meaning a 1,000-person company can carry approximately 45,000 machine accounts 1

1

. Most remain unmanaged, each holds credentials, and security teams often cannot even see them—creating a massive blind spot that Entro's technology addresses.

Entro brings agentless scanning capabilities that cover more than 1,000 types of machine and agent identity and over 1,200 kinds of credential across 70-plus enterprise sources, from cloud accounts to CI/CD pipelines 1

1

. The platform automatically creates an inventory of AI agents in a company's network and generates a graph showing how workers interact with each agent 2

2

. It then ties each non-human identity back to the human who owns it, maps its "blast radius," and monitors for anomalies in real time through what the company calls Non-Human Identity Detection and Response 1

Detecting Unusual Behavior and Insecure Credentials

Entro's platform identifies insecure credentials and displays critical information such as how an access token was created and which services it unlocks 2

2

. The software uses collected data to create a baseline model of each agent's activity patterns, enabling it to detect unusual behavior that might indicate a breach. When anomalies surface, the platform notifies administrators with natural language descriptions of the incident and affected services—for instance, alerting that an agent attempted to download files from a database it never accessed before 2

.

The technology generates remediation suggestions for discovered risks, with a dropdown menu enabling users to apply recommended mitigations with just a few clicks 2

2

. Workers can rotate credentials used by potentially malicious agents, notify administrators, and sync incident data to external tools. SailPoint aims to achieve "zero-standing privilege"—ensuring no permission remains active longer than the task requires 1

Securing AI-Driven Workflows Across Enterprise Sources

Entro's integration into Agentic Fabric will enable SailPoint to broaden the range of AI workloads it can secure 2

2

. The platform will automatically mitigate risks such as application accounts that give AI agents overly broad access to sensitive data. Founded in 2022 by Itzik Alvas and Adam Shriki, Entro had raised about $24 million prior to acquisition, including an $18 million Series A led by Dell Technologies Capital 1

1

. Its customers include Booking.com, SolarWinds, Elastic and KAYAK, and its staff in Israel and the US will fold into SailPoint's Israeli engineering operation 1

1

.

The deal follows SailPoint's acquisition of Savvy, another Israeli security startup, last year and reflects the company's growth-by-acquisition strategy since being taken private by Thoma Bravo in a $6.9 billion deal before returning to Nasdaq 1

1

. Non-human identity has emerged as one of Israeli cybersecurity's hottest sectors, with rivals such as Oasis and Astrix—the latter bought by Cisco—pursuing the same market 1

1

. Two acquisitions announced in one day suggest buyers believe the window to dominate this space is closing fast. SailPoint expects to close the transaction in the third quarter of its 2027 fiscal year 1
