Austin – October 12, 2026 -- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and CLEAR (NYSE: YOU) have launched a strategic partnership that embeds CLEAR1, CLEAR's secure identity platform, in the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, and the integration is available for existing customers to activate immediately.

The tie-up targets identity-based attacks, in which adversaries use legitimate credentials and trusted access pathways to blend into normal digital activity. Combining Falcon with CLEAR1 lets companies verify both the device and the human behind it.

Falcon risk detection triggers real-time CLEAR1 verification

When Falcon detects potential risk, it triggers CLEAR1 to verify the person in real time. That result is then weighed alongside other security signals to decide whether activity should be allowed, investigated or blocked.

Arlington, Virginia – September 30, 2026 -- Nisos has launched Identity Integrity, a new module within its Ascend platform that cross-references an individual's identity signals against independent intelligence sources and delivers a risk report within minutes.

Module Targets Gaps Left by Document-Based Verification

Traditional identity checks confirm that a document is legitimate or that submitted information matches a database record, but they do not establish that the person presenting that information is who they claim to be. Identity Integrity cross-references data an organization already holds — such as a name, email address, phone number, resume or professional profile — against official public records, breach data, investigation databases and digital footprint information to surface inconsistencies or gaps.
