ID.me is a McLean, Virginia-based digital identity network that lets people prove who they are online once and reuse that verified credential across government agencies, healthcare portals, and retail discount programs. Founded in 2010 as a military discount site, it evolved into a NIST-certified identity wallet used by well over 150 million Americans, and it is one of the primary identity-verification vendors for U.S. federal agencies including the IRS, the VA, and the Social Security Administration.

Cirrus Identity is an Oakland-based software company that runs managed, cloud-hosted identity and access management for higher education, research institutions, non-profits and healthcare.

More than 200 universities use it to retire aging Shibboleth deployments, let alumni and applicants log in with social accounts, and standardize authentication without rebuilding every application.
SecureAuth is an Irvine, California identity security company that has spent two decades trying to answer one stubborn question: is the person (or machine, or AI agent) on the other end of a login really who they claim to be? Founded in 2005, it built a name on risk-based and passwordless authentication, then doubled down on AI with its Arculix platform, continuous facial assurance, and a 'microperimeter' that extends Zero Trust controls to AI agents. Today it serves both workforce (IAM) and customer (CIAM) use cases for 250+ enterprises across regulated industries, protecting more than 250 million identities.
