SailPoint Acquires Entro Security to Boost AI Identity Tools
SailPoint has completed its acquisition of Entro Security, expanding its AI-driven identity governance capabilities for enterprise clients.
SailPoint Technologies has finalized its acquisition of Entro Security, a move designed to deepen the company's artificial intelligence-powered identity governance platform and extend its reach across enterprise security markets.

Analysts watching the identity security sector have noted that consolidation among vendors is accelerating as enterprises demand fewer, more comprehensive platforms rather than fragmented point solutions.
