The deal addresses the explosion of machine identities, which now outnumber human users 45-to-1, and follows the same day as 1Password's purchase of rival Apono. Entro's agentless scanning covers over 1,000 identity types and 1,200 credential kinds across 70+ enterprise sources.", "body_md": "The race to secure non-human identities just produced its second deal of the day. SailPoint, the Austin-based identity-security giant, said it plans to buy Entro, a Tel Aviv startup that finds and protects the credentials, keys and machine accounts that now swarm through every cloud.\n\nThe companies did not disclose a price; Calcalist reports it at about $200m. It is SailPoint’s second acquisition in Israel, and it landed the same day 1Password agreed to buy a rival, Apono.\n\nThe point is a market that barely existed a few years ago. As companies wire in AI agents, scripts and automated workflows, the number of “non-human identities” has exploded. By one industry estimate they outnumber human users by 45 to one, which means a 1,000-person company can carry around 45,000 of them.\n\nMost are unmanaged, each holds credentials, and security teams often cannot even see them. That blind spot is exactly what Entro maps.\n\n## What Entro adds to SailPoint\n\nSailPoint is pitching the deal as fuel for Agentic Fabric, the platform it recently launched to govern autonomous agents.\n\nEntro brings the discovery layer: agentless scanning that, the company says, covers 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. It then ties each non-human identity back to the human who owns it, maps its “blast radius,” and watches for anomalies in real time through what it calls Non-Human Identity Detection and Response.\n\nThe goal, in SailPoint’s language, is “zero-standing privilege”: no permission left lying around longer than the task needs.\n\nEntro was founded in 2022 by Itzik Alvas and Adam Shriki and had raised about $24m, most recently an $18m Series A led by Dell Technologies Capital. 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.\n\nThe deal is expected to close in the third quarter of SailPoint’s 2027 fiscal year.\n\n## Identity security is consolidating fast\n\nFor SailPoint, this is familiar. Taken private by Thoma Bravo in a $6.9bn deal and since returned to the Nasdaq, it has grown by buying, and Entro follows last year’s purchase of Savvy, another Israeli security startup. The bigger picture is an industry consolidating around a single idea: as software starts acting on its own, the thing enterprises most need to control is no longer a person but a machine.\n\nNon-human identity has become one of Israeli cyber’s hottest corners, with rivals such as Oasis and Astrix, the latter bought by Cisco, in the same chase. Two acquisitions in one day suggest the buyers think the window to own it is now.\n\n## Get the TNW newsletter\n\nGet the most important tech news in your inbox each week.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sailpoint-plans-to-buy-entro-to-pour-non-human-identities-into-its-agentic", "canonical_source": "https://thenextweb.com/news/sailpoint-entro-non-human-identity-agentic-fabric", "published_at": "2026-06-16 11:10:47+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-16 11:52:22.831457+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-safety", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["SailPoint", "Entro", "Thoma Bravo", "Dell Technologies Capital", "Booking.com", "SolarWinds", "Elastic", "KAYAK"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sailpoint-plans-to-buy-entro-to-pour-non-human-identities-into-its-agentic", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sailpoint-plans-to-buy-entro-to-pour-non-human-identities-into-its-agentic.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sailpoint-plans-to-buy-entro-to-pour-non-human-identities-into-its-agentic.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sailpoint-plans-to-buy-entro-to-pour-non-human-identities-into-its-agentic.jsonld"}}
