MINNEAPOLIS, February 09, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Entrust, a global leader in trusted identity-centric security solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration with Google to accelerate innovation in identity verification (IDV) and AI-driven security.

Organizations will gain a more sophisticated view of fraud insights and identity verification performance to better understand and respond to their threat environments, through real‑time analytics and clear visibility into emerging trends.
