SecureW2 and Carahsoft Partner to Deliver Passwordless Security to Government Agencies

SecureW2 has entered into a strategic partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp. to expand access to passwordless, phishing-resistant connectivity solutions across government agencies. Through this agreement, Carahsoft will act as SecureW2’s Public Sector distributor, making its Cloud RADIUS and managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solutions available via reseller partners and cooperative purchasing contracts, including NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract, and The Quilt.

As cyber threats continue to escalate, government organizations increasingly face credential-based attacks and phishing campaigns. Therefore, agencies must adopt stronger identity-first security strategies to protect sensitive systems and infrastructure. SecureW2 addresses this urgent need through its JoinNow platform, which delivers cloud-native, certificate-based authentication without requiring additional on-premise hardware or introducing operational complexity.

Importantly, JoinNow centralizes identity-based access control across departments, agencies, and remote offices. By leveraging PKI and Cloud RADIUS technology, the platform automates NIST-aligned certificate authentication using EAP-TLS protocols. Moreover, it fully supports compliance requirements such as the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), ensuring strong user and device identification.

In addition, JoinNow seamlessly integrates with existing identity providers, Mobile Device Management (MDM) platforms, and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools. As a result, agencies can centralize identity and compliance data while applying granular role-based and risk-based access policies to every certificate issued. This integration not only enhances visibility but also strengthens operational resilience by minimizing credential abuse risks. Furthermore, the platform delivers real-time insight into user and device posture while enabling automated policy enforcement.

Drew Prante, Chief Sales Officer at SecureW2, stated:
“We are pleased to partner with Carahsoft to support Public Sector organizations. 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.”

Tyler Nelson, who manages the SecureW2 Team at Carahsoft, added:
“SecureW2’s solutions enable agencies to modernize authentication while reducing IT overhead. 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.”

Overall, this collaboration empowers government agencies to accelerate Zero Trust adoption while strengthening authentication security, reducing phishing risk, and modernizing identity management infrastructure.
