CrowdStrike, CLEAR link identity checks to Falcon security alerts
CrowdStrike and CLEAR announced a partnership that integrates CLEAR1 with Falcon to add person-based verification to security decisions.
CrowdStrike and CLEAR said Aug. 31, 2026, that they are integrating CLEAR1 with the CrowdStrike Falcon platform to help security teams verify the person behind suspicious activity.
The companies said the goal is to connect threat detection with person-based verification. In their announcement, they said attackers increasingly use legitimate credentials and trusted access paths, which can make identity-based attacks harder to spot.
CLEAR said the integration is designed to let Falcon trigger CLEAR1 in real time when potential risk is detected. The companies said the result can then be used with other security signals to decide whether activity should be allowed, investigated or blocked.
The release said CLEAR1 uses a multi-layered process that includes capturing biometrics and government-issued identification and checking them against authoritative sources. It also said the integration works with CrowdStrike tools including Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and Charlotte Agentic SOAR.
CrowdStrike chief business officer Daniel Bernard said the partnership gives customers a way to use high-assurance person-based verification as part of their security strategy. CLEAR EVP of CLEAR1 Brett Romanoff said the company has spent more than 16 years building technology that helps establish confidence in a person and that the verification is now available when security decisions are being made.
The announcement said the integration is available for existing CrowdStrike and CLEAR1 customers to activate now. It also said CLEAR has more than 43 million members.
The companies did not say in the release when broader commercial rollout, if any, might follow. The announcement included standard forward-looking statements saying actual results may differ materially.
