SailPoint closes its Entro Security deal, reportedly at 200 million dollars
Two weeks from announcement to close. Entro brings discovery and lifecycle management for more than 1,200 kinds of secret, token, and certificate into SailPoint's Agentic Fabric, aimed at the machine identities that outnumber staff by an order of magnitude.
SailPoint has completed its acquisition of Entro Security, announced on 15 June 2026 and closed on 29 June. Calcalist reported the price at about 200 million dollars. Entro, founded in October 2022 by Itzik Alvas and Adam Shriki, had raised 24 million dollars and counts Booking.com, SolarWinds, and Elastic as customers. Its platform discovers and manages non-human identities and the secrets behind them, covering more than 1,200 types of secret, token, and certificate inside developer environments. SailPoint is folding it into Agentic Fabric, the access-control layer for AI agents it launched in March, with chief executive Mark McClain describing the goal as one control plane for human, machine, and agent identity.
Why it matters
Governance vendors have historically stopped at the identity record. Entro starts from the secret itself, finding the API key hardcoded in a repo or the token in a CI pipeline that no joiner-mover-leaver process ever touched. Those two views disagree in every real estate, and the disagreement is the finding.
Watch how the pieces are sold. Entro standalone was a discovery and posture product; inside SailPoint it becomes a feed into certification and lifecycle, which is more useful but harder to buy without the suite. If you are an Entro customer without SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, get renewal terms in writing. For the wider pattern, see machine identity management and the acquisitions tracker.
Update, October 31, 2026: SailPoint's 10-Q for the quarter to July 31, 2026 puts the cash consideration at 122.6 million dollars, plus up to 7.3 million dollars of restricted stock booked as compensation, well below the roughly 200 million dollars Calcalist reported.
