Company profile
researched Aug 2026Entro Security provides a platform for discovering, governing and protecting non-human identities (NHIs) — service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens and other secrets — as well as AI agents and their programmatic access to cloud services and data. The platform spans a lifecycle model of detection (discovery and inventory of NHIs, secrets and agentic AI deployments across clouds, code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, on-premises systems and collaboration tools, plus classification of permissions, purpose and criticality), observation (posture management and continuous monitoring of agent behavior, permissions and entitlements) and remediation (ownership attribution, vaulting, rotation, provisioning and decommissioning of stale identities).
Core capabilities described by the company include NHIDR, a proprietary non-human identity detection and response engine that monitors secrets, NHIs, vaults and agents for anomalous behavior; contextual secrets scanning that maps exposed secrets to their source, owner and risk; idle/orphaned secret detection; lineage mapping that visualizes how AI agents connect to cloud, code and SaaS tools, including MCP servers; and posture assessment to surface overprivileged, misconfigured or orphaned tokens. More recent positioning adds an AIDR (AI detection and response) capability covering shadow AI discovery, MCP server mapping, intent monitoring and prompt-injection defense, alongside an agentic governance and administration framework covering policy enforcement, least-privilege and Just-In-Time access, and audit and compliance trails for agent actions.
The platform integrates with existing security and engineering stacks, with published material referencing integrations such as CrowdStrike EDR, Wiz, Salesforce and on-premises Active Directory. Entro also publishes research through Entro Labs, including reports on NHI and secrets risk, LLMjacking via compromised NHIs, and an annual state-of-non-human-identities report.
Business model
Entro sells an enterprise security platform to organizations, with commercial engagement driven through demo requests and trials on its website.
Software platform sold to enterprise security organizations; specific pricing terms are not disclosed publicly.
Traction
Within its first year after exiting stealth, Entro reported customers including Booking, SolarWinds, Elastic, KAYAK and Regatta, and its CEO referenced "dozens of customers" at the time of the Series A in June 2024. The company describes itself as trusted by global Fortune 500 enterprises.
Latest developments
Recent product direction centers on agentic AI security: governance of AI agents, intent monitoring (including for Claude Code), MCP server mapping and detection of rogue or unsanctioned agent deployments, alongside published guidance on authenticating AI agents. The company has been named a Gartner Cool Vendor in the identity-first category.

Market position
Entro positions itself in the non-human identity and secrets security category, which also includes vendors such as Oasis Security and Astrix Security. It has been named a Gartner Cool Vendor in the identity-first category, received Gartner recognition for IAM for AI Agents, was named a KuppingerCole Rising Star, and has been cited for a Cybersecurity Excellence Award, a SINET 16 Innovator Award (2025) and a Globee Awards 2026 cybersecurity startup of the year recognition.
Entro frames secrets not as isolated strings to be detected but as multi-faceted objects with owners, permissions, usage and lifecycle context, and combines that with a proprietary detection and response engine (NHIDR) for non-human identities. It presents a single platform covering both AI agents and the underlying non-human identities they use, spanning discovery, classification, posture, detection and automated remediation.
Technology
The platform combines discovery and inventory across clouds, code, CI/CD, on-premises environments and collaboration tools with classification and enrichment of each identity and secret (owner, permissions, usage, rotation schedule). Static posture analysis flags misconfigurations and gaps, while the NHIDR engine performs behavioral anomaly detection and real-time response for secrets, NHIs and vaults. An AIDR layer targets agentic AI, covering shadow AI discovery, MCP server inventory, intent monitoring and prompt-injection detection, and lineage mapping visualizes connections between agents, resources and environments. Remediation functions include ownership attribution, automated vaulting and rotation, and decommissioning of stale identities.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales supported by website demo requests and free trials, integration partnerships with adjacent security tooling, published research and educational content (Entro Labs reports, white papers, guides, checklists and datasheets), and visibility through analyst recognition and industry awards.
CISOs, security leaders and cybersecurity, DevOps and engineering teams at enterprises, including large cloud- and SaaS-dependent organizations; the company cites Fortune 500 enterprises among its users.
Geography
Israeli startup with global operations; the Series A was intended in part to expand its global operations.
History
Entro emerged from stealth in May 2023 and had raised a total of $24 million by June 2024, when it announced an $18 million Series A led by Dell Technologies Capital, following seed funding from StageOne Ventures and Hyperwise Ventures with angel participation. An earlier $6 million raise for its secrets security and management solution was reported prior to the Series A.
