SailPoint Buys Entro Security to Boost Non-Human Identity Tools
SailPoint has completed its acquisition of Entro Security, strengthening its position in non-human identity management.
SailPoint just closed its acquisition of Entro Security, and if you're watching the identity security space, this move deserves your attention. Non-human identities — think service accounts, API keys, bots, and machine credentials — have become one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces in enterprise tech. SailPoint is betting that owning Entro's capabilities puts them ahead of that curve.
Entro Security built its reputation specifically around securing secrets and non-human identities across cloud environments. That's a niche but critical problem. As companies scale their automation and cloud infrastructure, the number of machine identities can dwarf human ones by orders of magnitude — and most organizations are flying blind on managing them. SailPoint is folding that expertise directly into its identity security platform.

In a market where identity security is one of the few cybersecurity segments still seeing strong demand, that's a credible playbook.
The broader competitive picture matters here too. Rivals in the identity governance space are all chasing the same enterprise dollars. Adding non-human identity management isn't just a feature upgrade — it's a wedge into a problem set that legacy identity tools weren't built to handle. Entro gives SailPoint a real answer when enterprise buyers ask about machine identity risk.
