## Executive Summary

Sentra sells an agentless platform that discovers, classifies, and governs sensitive data where it lives, across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises estates, and has repositioned that foundation as the data layer enterprises need before rolling out AI assistants and agents. Founders with Israeli military intelligence leadership run it from New York and Tel Aviv, and a $50 million Series B led by Key1 Capital in April 2025 took total funding past $100 million. The platform maps which copilots and agents can reach which data and feeds those signals into the DLP, IAM, and SIEM tools customers already run. The accuracy and market-size figures are the company's own, Wiz markets its own DSPM classification per its product page, and Microsoft could bundle similar coverage into buyers' estates.
