ClearVector

Real-time identity-driven cloud security platform

Overview

ClearVector provides real-time, identity-driven cybersecurity for cloud environments. It offers a subscription-based platform that continuously monitors cloud workloads (including serverless architectures) to detect and mitigate threats as they occur. The product works by ingesting identity and activity data, performing continuous analysis, and triggering immediate responses, with on-demand reporting and historical data insights. It integrates via API to fit existing workflows and can export security data in JSON for deeper analysis. ClearVector differentiates itself from competitors by emphasizing live, continuous security rather than periodic scans, focusing on identity-driven security tailored to cloud contexts rather than generic perimeter protection. Its goal is to help businesses of all sizes protect data and operations in the cloud by providing ongoing visibility, rapid threat detection, and actionable security recommendations through a scalable subscription service.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • ClearVector raised $13 million in May 2025 from Scale and Okta Ventures.
  • Its 2026 Identity Intelligence Report found 91% of production identities are non-human.
  • The company keeps publishing product research in 2026, signaling active demand generation.

What critics are saying

  • Okta closed Permiso Security in August 2026, directly targeting ClearVector’s ITDR niche.
  • Saviynt and Wiz partnered in February 2026 to govern non-human identities and AI agents.
  • ClearVector lacks visible customer scale; if Series A sales stall, hiring freezes follow.

What makes ClearVector unique

  • ClearVector maps actions to identities across GitHub, AWS, GCP, EC2, Lambda, containers.
  • Its patented identity graph spans over 1 billion nodes and 4 billion edges.
  • One-click isolation of identities, S3 buckets, and Lambda functions shortens incident response.
