Executive Summary

The public record does not document a named customer for the AI-agent security Entro now leads its pitch with. The named customers Entro does have, Booking, SolarWinds, Elastic, KAYAK, and Regatta among them, began working with it within a year of its market entry, before the company repositioned around AI agents. Entro's product finds the API keys, service accounts, and AI agents that log in without a person, scans for exposed secrets, and flags unusual behavior. SailPoint bought Entro in a deal reported at about $200 million, completed in June 2026, to fold that coverage, and the newer AI-agent layer, into its own identity-security platform.
