Cydenti vs US NHI Platforms
8 non-human identity security vendor acquisitions in 24 months, every one led by a US or Israeli group. Cydenti remains the independent, European platform in the field.
A fast, entirely US-led consolidation
In two years, eight non-human identity security vendors have been acquired — every single one by a US or Israeli group. That's not an isolated coincidence; it's the structure of the market. For a security team that wants to keep control of its data and its product roadmap, this acquisition wave is worth studying closely before signing a multi-year contract.

| Astrix | Cisco | Standalone sales ended June 30, 2026 |
| Entro | SailPoint | ~$200M, June 2026 |
| Natoma | Snowflake | — |
| Veza | ServiceNow | — |

Cydenti's independent, European approach
Cydenti remains an independently owned, privately held company based in Paris. Your data is hosted exclusively in France, on sovereign OVHcloud and Scaleway infrastructure, GDPR-compliant by design — nothing ever crosses to US servers. Cydenti connects to your SaaS stack through a read-only API, no agents required, with a first risk report delivered in 3 hours.
Transparent pricing, NIS2 readiness from day one
Only 4 of 36 NHI security vendors publish any pricing — Cydenti is one of them. NIS2 enforcement tightens from October 1, 2026: Cydenti's Audit Flash covers ANSSI ReCyF Objective 13 checks from the moment you deploy.
