AppViewX announced that it has acquired Eos, an AI-native identity control platform focused on securing AI agents and autonomous workloads, as part of its strategy to expand leadership in machine and AI identity security. The deal strengthens AppViewX’s capabilities by combining its certificate lifecycle management and public key infrastructure solutions with Eos’s governance and privileged access controls for AI-driven environments.
The acquisition positions AppViewX as an AI-native platform designed to secure machines, workloads, and AI agents across cloud and hybrid infrastructures. As enterprises increasingly deploy autonomous AI systems, the combined platform aims to provide unified visibility, policy enforcement, and lifecycle management for both machine and AI identities.
As part of the transaction, Eos co-founder Archit Lohokare has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of AppViewX, succeeding Dino DiMarino, who has stepped down. Lohokare brings over two decades of cybersecurity experience, including leadership roles in identity, data, and endpoint security. Prior to founding Eos, he served as Senior Vice President and General Manager at CyberArk, where he helped build its identity security platform.
Eos co-founder Kashyap Ivaturi will join AppViewX as Chief Technology Officer. Meanwhile, current AppViewX CTO Madhu Venkatarajan will transition to Chief Engineering Officer and General Manager of India Operations, focusing on scaling engineering capabilities and accelerating product delivery.
The combined company aims to address the growing risks associated with AI agents, which are increasingly operating autonomously with access to sensitive systems and data. By integrating identity governance and access controls tailored for AI workloads, AppViewX intends to help enterprises manage the expanding attack surface created by non-human identities.
The acquisition builds on AppViewX’s existing market momentum, including recognition in industry evaluations for certificate lifecycle management and non-human identity management.
KEY QUOTES:
“AI agents are increasingly acting with autonomy inside the enterprise, with privileged access to data, applications, infrastructure, and cloud environments. Identity is the control plane for this new era. As organizations rapidly deploy AI agents, they need a unified governance and risk layer that secures machines and AI agents with consistent visibility, policy, and enforcement. By combining AppViewX’s leadership in machine identity with Eos’s AI-native capabilities, we are building the next-generation platform enterprises need to innovate confidently and securely at AI scale.”
Archit Lohokare, Chief Executive Officer of AppViewX
“As organizations scale AI agents and autonomous workloads, the identity-driven attack surface expands dramatically. AppViewX has established leadership in machine identity management, and the addition of Eos accelerates its evolution into a unified platform that governs machines, AI workloads, and autonomous agents. We are confident that this combination, in addition to Archit’s and Kashyap’s leadership of the new company, will position AppViewX for long-term category leadership and durable growth.”
Ian Loring, Senior Managing Director & Executive Chair at Haveli Investments
“AI agents are a new identity group, and their rapid proliferation creates new risks for the enterprise. These agents often behave non-deterministically. To reduce risk, we must monitor, audit, and control their privileged access to sensitive data and systems and ensure their lifecycle is automated and governed. I’m excited to see AppViewX and Eos come together. Eos’s AI agent Identity Security platform combined with AppViewX’s Machine Identity Security platform positions AppViewX as the leader in Machine and AI Agent Identity Security.”
