An NHI governance platform specializing in secrets management and machine identity lifecycle, providing discovery, context mapping, and remediation workflows for secrets and machine credentials across developer and cloud environments.
Entro Security focuses on the secrets layer of the non-human identity problem: discovering where credentials exist across developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments, and SaaS integrations; mapping the context of each secret (who created it, what it can access, whether it has been rotated); and providing remediation workflows to reduce exposure. It works well as a secrets inventory and context engine. The gap is at runtime: Entro does not mediate authentication events, cannot replace static secrets with a secretless authentication model, and does not enforce access policy at the moment of each workload connection. Aembit is the runtime enforcement layer. It attests workload identity cryptographically, issues short-lived credentials that never enter any secrets store, and eliminates the static credential surface that Entro is tracking. For environments where secrets remain, Aembit’s attestation logs provide the continuous runtime access record that enriches Entro’s context mapping and lifecycle workflows.
For workloads and AI agents that authenticate to APIs, databases, or cloud services, Aembit replaces the static API keys, service account credentials, and long-lived tokens that Entro was built to discover and contextualize. When a workload authenticates through Aembit, it uses a short-lived credential that expires at the end of the access event and never enters any credential store, configuration file, or environment variable.
Entro’s value depends on secrets existing: it maps what they are, where they are stored, and what they can access. Aembit progressively reduces that surface by eliminating the need for persistent secrets in the workloads it governs. The secrets that remain — in legacy systems, third-party integrations, or systems not yet covered by Aembit — continue to benefit from Entro’s discovery and lifecycle management.
Entro’s context mapping depends on knowing how secrets are actually being used, not just that they exist. Aembit’s attestation logs provide the usage layer: a continuous record of which attested workloads authenticated to which services, under which policy, and at what time.
Organizations running both tools can feed Aembit’s runtime access logs into Entro’s context workflows to produce richer secret lifecycle data — behavioral evidence of which credentials are actively in use, at what frequency, and from which attested workloads. This improves Entro’s ability to identify dormant credentials accurately, reduces false positives in stale-credential detection, and produces compliance evidence that covers both the secrets inventory (from Entro) and the runtime access record (from Aembit).
Entro handles the secrets estate that has not yet been replaced: API keys, tokens, and credentials in developer tools, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments where Aembit is not yet deployed. Aembit handles runtime authentication for the workloads it governs. Together they provide coverage across the full non-human identity surface during migration, with Aembit progressively reducing the scope that Entro needs to manage.
