Non-human identities outnumber your employees 45 to 1.
A 1,000-person company carries 45,000 machine identities — API keys, tokens, service accounts, certificates — and your security team can see almost none of them.
SailPoint just acquired Entro for $200M to close that gap.
Entro maps every non-human identity across 70+ enterprise sources: cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, developer tools, SaaS platforms. It ties each one back to the human who owns it. It calculates "blast radius" — what breaks if that credential gets compromised.
This isn't a feature addition. It's an admission that identity governance as we built it is obsolete.
Your IAM system was designed for people. Your AI agents don't have badge photos. They have API tokens scattered across build logs, environment variables, and developer laptops that nobody inventory.
1Password acquired Apono the same day. Two non-human identity deals in one day. The market barely existed three years ago.
The pattern is clear: as software starts acting on its own, the thing enterprises most need to control is no longer a person but a machine.
Audit your credential inventory today. If you can't answer how many non-human identities exist in your environment, you don't have an IAM problem. You have a blind spot that scales with every agent you deploy.
