SailPoint to acquire Entro as AI agent identity risks grow

SailPoint has announced its plans to acquire Entro, a Tel Aviv-based non-human identity and credentials security company, as enterprises look for better ways to govern AI agents, machine identities, and the secrets they use to access business systems.

The deal is aimed at expanding SailPoint’s Agentic Fabric, which the company recently launched to help organizations discover, govern, and secure autonomous AI agents and non-human identities. Entro brings agentless discovery, credentials coverage, and identity mapping across cloud environments, developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and SaaS collaboration systems.

AI agents, automation tools, and machine workloads rely on tokens, keys, certificates, and other credentials that are often spread across multiple environments. SailPoint said Entro’s technology will help customers identify more than 1,000 non-human identities and agent types and more than 1,200 credential types across more than 70 enterprise sources.

The transaction is expected to close in SailPoint’s third quarter of fiscal 2027, subject to customary closing conditions. Once completed, the acquisition gives SailPoint more coverage in a part of identity security that is becoming harder for enterprises to manage on their own. The acquisition also points to a growing service opportunity around non-human identity discovery, secrets governance, AI agent access control, and continuous monitoring.
