SecureW2 and Carahsoft Partner to Bring Passwordless, Phishing-Resistant Connectivity Platform to Government Agencies

Powerful Cloud-Native, Certificate-Based Solution Simplifies Secure Access Across Public Sector Networks

SEATTLE and RESTON, Va., March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SecureW2, the leader in passwordless security, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as SecureW2’s Public Sector distributor, making the company’s innovative Cloud RADIUS and managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solutions available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.

“We are pleased to partner with Carahsoft to support Public Sector organizations,” said Drew Prante, Chief Sales Officer at SecureW2. “Its deep expertise in the SLED market, combined with the resources and tools it provides to partners, helps agencies deploy Zero Trust, identity-driven solutions that are critical to securing and modernizing infrastructure.”

Threat actors are increasingly exploiting compromised credentials and attacks on Government organizations continue to rise. SecureW2’s JoinNow platform helps reduce risk by enhancing identity-based security without adding on-premise hardware or increasing complexity for IT teams or end users. JoinNow offers a cloud-native, certificate-based authentication solution that centralizes identity-based access control across departments, agencies and remote offices. Its PKI and RADIUS provide automated NIST-aligned certificate-based authentication using EAP-TLS, fully supporting CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements for strong device and user identification.

JoinNow integrates with existing identity providers, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions and Endpoint Detection Response (EDP) tools to centralize identity and compliance data. This integration allows each certificate to be issued with granular role- and risk-based policies. The platform strengthens operational resilience by minimizing credential abuse risks without expanding on-premise infrastructure. It also delivers real-time visibility into user and device posture and supports automated policy enforcement.

“SecureW2’s solutions enable agencies to modernize authentication while reducing IT overhead,” said Tyler Nelson, who manages the SecureW2 Team at Carahsoft. “The company’s platform provides agencies with automated certificate lifecycle management that integrates seamlessly with existing identity providers. Carahsoft and our reseller partners look forward to working with SecureW2 to deliver this advanced security platform to the Public Sector.”

SecureW2’s certificate-based cloud security solutions are available through Carahsoft’s NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472, TIPS Contract #220105, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303, E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA and The Quilt Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F.
