Fairfax, Va. – October 07, 2026 -- The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has launched a pilot program letting Veterans verify their identity on VA.gov through CLEAR, the secure identity company, at no cost and entirely by choice.

GovCIO led the technical integration of CLEAR1 into VA.gov's sign-in system

GovCIO, prime contractor for VA.gov modernization, partnered with CLEAR to embed CLEAR1, CLEAR's identity platform, alongside existing sign-in methods. The integration meets the same security standards VA.gov already requires, without replacing current login options.

Pune, India – October 07, 2026 -- ProMobi Technologies has launched Veltar Vulnerability Management, a new Scalefusion capability that merges vulnerability detection with endpoint remediation inside a single platform for Windows and macOS devices.

Scalefusion unifies security and IT workflows into one platform

Vulnerability management has traditionally split work between security teams identifying risks and IT teams managing the affected endpoints, often requiring multiple disconnected tools. Veltar Vulnerability Management closes that gap by linking vulnerability intelligence directly to endpoints already managed within Scalefusion UEM, eliminating the need for a separate vulnerability management agent or manual data transfer between systems.

Tampa, Fla. – October 06, 2026 -- A Florida-based managed IT and cybersecurity services provider serving small and mid-sized businesses has been acquired by a strategic buyer with a multi-state footprint, in a transaction brokered by Viking Mergers & Acquisitions.

Deal closes after six-month process amid rising buyer demand for IT firms

The transaction took approximately six months from engagement to close, a timeline Viking attributes to growing buyer interest in IT solutions companies within the lower-middle market. The Viking Florida Division team representing the seller included Larry "Tripp" Lawson III (Partner), Jacob Middleton (Associate Partner), and Dylan Bradley (Associate Advisor).

Portland – October 06, 2026 -- Individual Centricity Corporation (IC-Corp) will unveil a new identity-validation architecture on Oct. 15, 2026, designed to eliminate the centralized data stores that AI systems exploit to impersonate users, devices and machines.

IC-Corp replaces central databases with per-entity validation

The Portland, Oregon-based company's live virtual event, "The Door Back to Real," runs from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. PT on Zoom and will present an "individually-centric" model as an alternative to the enterprise-centric internet architecture that routes all identity checks through a single controlled hub. IC-Corp argues that this hub-and-spoke design creates concentrated data stores -- what the company calls "honey pots" -- that give attackers a single target: the master key.

Zurich – – October 06, 2026 -- Ontinue has launched ION for Dark Web Monitoring (DWM), a managed add-on to its ION MXDR service that identifies exposed credentials, brand impersonation, and emerging threats before they escalate into security incidents.

Only 19% of organizations continuously monitor and remediate credential exposure

Compromised credentials can surface on the dark web within 24 hours of a breach, yet reports cited by Ontinue show just 19% of organizations continuously monitor for such exposure and automatically remediate it. Most lack the visibility, expertise, and processes to detect and respond to these risks before attackers exploit them.
