SailPoint to Buy Israeli Cyber Startup Entro Security for About $200 Million

U.S. identity security company SailPoint has agreed to buy the Israeli startup Entro Security, in another expansion move in Israel. The deal price was not disclosed, but Calcalist reported that it is worth about $200 million. Entro was founded in October 2022 by CEO Itzik Elbas and CTO Adam Sheriki.

Entro builds a cyber platform for mapping, managing and protecting non-human identities, meaning API keys, tokens and service accounts created by cloud and SaaS usage. Industry studies say these identities now outnumber human identities by 45 to 1, so a company with 1,000 employees may have about 45,000 non-human identities. Entro says its system lets security teams automate management, detect attacks and respond in real time, while centralizing the data with precise context.

Since launch, Entro has raised $24 million. Its latest Series A round totaled $18 million and was led by Dell Technologies Capital, with participation from StageOne Ventures and Hyperwise Ventures. Its seed round also included well-known angels such as Micky Bodai, Rakesh Lunkar, Elon Elhadad and Eylam Milner, the founders of Echo. The company employs dozens of workers in Israel and the United States, and they are expected to join SailPoint’s development center in Israel.

Customers named by Entro include Booking, SolarWinds, Elastic, KAYAK and Regatta Great Outdoors of Manchester. The non-human identity field is considered one of Israel’s hottest cyber segments, alongside companies such as Oasis Security and Asterix Security, which was acquired by Cisco. SailPoint, a global leader in identity governance and administration, was itself bought by Thoma Bravo for $6.9 billion and has been pursuing rapid expansion through acquisitions. This is not its first Israel deal, following its August 2025 purchase of the main assets of Israeli startup Savvy, which focused on SaaS application security.
