SailPoint, the Austin-based identity security company listed on Nasdaq, announced on June 15, 2026 that it had agreed to acquire Entro Security, a Tel Aviv startup that secures non-human identities and the credentials they use. SailPoint said on June 29 that the deal had closed.
SailPoint did not disclose financial terms. The Israeli business daily Calcalist, through its English-language site CTech, reported that the deal was valued at about $200 million, a figure SailPoint has not confirmed.
Entro's co-founders, Itzik Alvas and Adam Cheriki, joined SailPoint's technology organisation to help fold Entro's technology into the SailPoint platform. Entro's products are available to SailPoint customers as standalone offerings while that integration continues.
What Entro built
Non-human identities are the accounts and credentials that software uses to talk to other software: API keys, tokens, certificates, service accounts and, increasingly, the credentials held by AI agents. Entro finds them without installing agents, maps them to the people who own them and watches how they are used.
According to SailPoint, Entro covers more than 1,000 types of non-human identities and agents and more than 1,200 types of secrets, keys, tokens and certificates across more than 70 enterprise sources, including cloud environments, code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, container registries and SaaS tools. Its lineage mapping shows which applications, scripts or agents use a given secret, what that secret can reach and how much damage a leak could do.
Entro also sells a detection and response product for non-human identities. It monitors token behaviour, flags anomalies and excessive permissions, and, according to SailPoint, can intercept malicious AI tool calls.
“Organizations are desperate for a way to manage the risk of the autonomous AI workforce.”
Why SailPoint is buying
SailPoint's core business is governing which people can access which systems. Shortly before the deal it launched Agentic Fabric, a product for applying the same controls to AI agents and machine identities. SailPoint said Entro would extend Agentic Fabric with deeper discovery of credentials, links between machine identities and their human owners, and real-time threat detection.
The company argued that non-human identities now outnumber human ones in many organisations, creating a large new attack surface. Combining SailPoint's identity graph with Entro's map of credential use is meant to let security teams certify, revoke and limit the access of agents in the same way they do for employees.
After closing, SailPoint said the combined platform would govern AI agents according to the downstream resources and tools they use, and would combine its identity graph with Entro's lineage map so that security teams can see which application, script or agent used a specific secret at a given time.
"The recent launch of our Agentic Fabric established a new paradigm for securing autonomous AI agents," said Mark McClain, SailPoint's founder and chief executive. After the deal closed, he said: "Organizations are desperate for a way to manage the risk of the autonomous AI workforce."
The founders and the funding
Entro came out of stealth in May 2023. In June 2024 it raised an $18 million Series A led by Dell Technologies Capital, with seed investors Hyperwise Ventures and StageOne Ventures taking part alongside angel investors Rakesh Loonkar and Mickey Boodaei. That brought its total funding to $24 million.
At the time of the Series A, Entro named Booking, SolarWinds, Elastic, KAYAK and Regatta among its customers, according to CTech. Alvas said then that the company had dozens of customers.
"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 behind cloud operations, Alvas said in the acquisition announcement.
What happens next
In its first announcement SailPoint said it expected the deal to close in the third quarter of its fiscal year 2027, subject to customary conditions. It completed the purchase on June 29, within two weeks of the announcement.
Existing Entro customers can keep using its products on their own, and SailPoint customers can buy them as separate offerings. SailPoint said it would build Entro's discovery, lineage mapping and detection features natively into its platform over time.
