## Overview

Entro Security provides non-human identity and secrets security, discovering machine identities and the secrets they use, then monitoring and governing them across cloud and SaaS. Founded in 2022 with operations in Boston and Tel Aviv, it differentiates by tying NHIs to the specific secrets they consume. SailPoint [completed its acquisition of Entro](https://www.sailpoint.com/press-releases/sailpoint-closes-entro-security-acquisition) on 29 June 2026, and says Entro's products remain available to SailPoint customers as standalone offerings while native platform integration continues, at a reported 200 million dollars (see the [news item](https://startwithidentity.com/blog/2026-06-29-sailpoint-completes-acquisition-of-entro-security/)). It is a security and governance layer, not a vault.

## What it is good at

The differentiator is combining [non-human identity](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-non-human-identity/) discovery with [secrets](https://startwithidentity.com/guides/fundamentals/what-is-secrets-management/) context, giving lineage from identity to secret to actual usage. That mapping makes least-privilege and cleanup tractable, because you can see which NHI uses which secret and where. Governance and audit score highest, with lifecycle and authorization close behind. For security teams drowning in unattributed service accounts and keys, the context is valuable.

## Where it falls short

It is a governance and posture layer, not a runtime secrets vault, so it complements secrets storage and rotation rather than replacing it. It is not an identity provider, so human authentication, SSO, and MFA are out of scope. As a 2022-founded vendor in a young category, the reference base and integration breadth are still growing, and enforcement often relies on the systems it monitors.

## Pricing

No public pricing. Quote-based subscription through a sales-led process. Model NHI counts and connected systems with the [TCO calculator](https://startwithidentity.com/tools/tco-calculator/) before comparing.

## Best for, and who should look elsewhere

A fit for security teams that want to discover and govern non-human identities and their secrets together. Look elsewhere if you need a runtime secrets vault or only human identity governance. Compare with [machine-identity](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/machine-identity/) vaults, peers like [Astrix Security](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/astrix-security/) (now part of Cisco and no longer sold standalone) and [Token Security](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/token-security/), and the broader [AI identity](https://startwithidentity.com/vendors/ai-identity/) category.

## Bottom line

A strong choice for governing non-human identities and their secrets together, with useful identity-to-secret lineage. Pair it with a vault for rotation.
