Falcon Platform Gains CLEAR Human Identity VerificationCrowdStrike Brings CLEAR's Verified Human Identity into the Falcon PlatformIntegration helps security teams distinguish trusted users from potential threats and act with greater confidenceCrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and CLEAR (NYSE: YOU) announced a strategic partnership that integrates CLEAR1, CLEAR's secure identity platform, with the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. Together, CrowdStrike and CLEAR connect threat detection with high-assurance, person-based verification, designed to enable organizations to verify the human behind unusual activity and make more informed security decisions. As attackers increasingly exploit legitimate credentials and trusted access pathways to blend into normal digital activity, establishing trust in the person behind a valid account or recognized device is more important than ever. By combining the Falcon platform with CLEAR1, companies can verify the device, the human, and stop identity-based attacks. "Identity is at the center of how organizations operate and how adversaries attack. Bringing CrowdStrike and CLEAR together gives customers a new way to put high-assurance person-based verification to work as part of their security strategy," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike. "This is what the Falcon platform is built for – bringing the best technology and intelligence together to help customers stop threats, reduce complexity, and move their businesses forward." CLEAR1 uses a multi-layered approach to establish confidence in a person's identity, which includes capturing biometrics and government-issued identification and verifying it against authoritative sources. Through integrations with CrowdStrike capabilities, including Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM and Charlotte Agentic SOAR, organizations can incorporate person-based verification directly into existing security workflows without adding unnecessary friction. In practice, the integration connects Falcon's risk detection with CLEAR1's person-based verification. When Falcon detects potential risk, it will trigger CLEAR1 to verify the human in real time and incorporate that result alongside other security signals to inform whether activity should be allowed, investigated or blocked. By correlating identity verification data with signals across the Falcon platform, security teams can uncover suspicious patterns that might otherwise appear legitimate when viewed in isolation. "At CLEAR, we've spent more than 16 years building technology that helps establish confidence in a person—not just a credential, account or device," said Brett Romanoff, EVP of CLEAR1. "Together with CrowdStrike, that verification is now available when security decisions are being made. By verifying the person when risk emerges, organizations can make more informed decisions while keeping trusted users moving." The integration is available for existing CrowdStrike and CLEAR1 customers to begin activating today. Source: CrowdStrike media announcement | |
