■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 3 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

SailPoint is acquiring Entro Security, a cybersecurity platform specializing in non-human identity management, in a deal valued at approximately $200 million.

The acquisition marks SailPoint's expansion into the growing market for securing non-human identities—a critical area as organizations increasingly rely on service accounts, APIs, and machine credentials. Entro Security's platform addresses the management and protection of these non-human identities, which have become prime targets for attackers seeking to exploit overlooked access points. The deal reflects broader industry momentum in identity security. Last week, 1Password acquired Apono, an AI-powered cloud access management platform, for $250M-$300M, signaling major players' commitment to modernizing identity governance in the AI era. SailPoint, a leader in identity governance and administration, continues consolidating capabilities to compete in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape where traditional password and human-focused identity management no longer suffices.
