Short description

Astrix Security discovers and secures non-human identities, AI agents, and MCP servers, and provisions secure-by-design agents through its Agent Control Plane with short-lived credentials and just-in-time access. Following its acquisition by Cisco, its capabilities are being integrated into Cisco's identity and zero-trust portfolio. 

Entro Security is an agentic AI and non-human identity security platform that discovers, classifies, and governs NHIs and secrets across clouds, code, vaults, and collaboration tools, with behavioral threat detection via its NHIDR engine. SailPoint completed its acquisition of Entro in June 2026, making it the NHI and secrets layer of SailPoint's Agentic Fabric.
