Lastwall, a provider of identity-first and quantum-resilient security solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp. to expand access to its Zero Trust identity platform across the Public Sector. As part of the agreement, Carahsoft will act as Lastwall’s distributor for government markets, making the company’s IDCommand™ Suite available through its extensive reseller ecosystem and multiple procurement contracts Through this collaboration, Lastwall’s solutions will be accessible via key government purchasing vehicles, including NASA SEWP V, ITES-SW2, NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services, and The Quilt contracts, streamlining procurement for federal, state, and local agencies.

Karl Holmqvist, Founder and CEO of Lastwall, emphasized the growing importance of identity in modern cybersecurity. He noted that identity has become a primary attack surface, especially as advancements in quantum computing and AI-driven impersonation techniques threaten traditional security models. The partnership with Carahsoft, he said, provides government and defense organizations with a trusted pathway to accelerate Zero Trust adoption at the identity layer. Credential-based attacks remain one of the most common threats facing public sector organizations, making identity security a critical priority. At the same time, regulatory mandates are increasing pressure on agencies to modernize. The Department of Defense has set a target for Zero Trust implementation by 2027, while federal directives require a transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2030. These requirements are driving the need for secure, future-ready authentication frameworks.

Lastwall’s IDCommand Suite is designed to address these challenges by replacing legacy access systems with a unified identity platform that supports Zero Trust principles across cloud, hybrid, and disconnected environments. The solution also incorporates quantum-resistant encryption to prepare organizations for emerging cryptographic risks.

A cloud-native platform that serves as the foundation for Zero Trust identity. It is FedRAMP Moderate and DoD Impact Level 2 authorized, supporting multiple authentication standards such as PIV/CAC, SAML, OIDC, and FIDO2/WebAuthn. The platform eliminates reliance on passwords while ensuring secure and compliant access. Designed for environments with limited or unreliable connectivity, this solution enables secure authentication and policy enforcement in denied or low-bandwidth conditions. It operates independently when networks are unavailable and synchronizes once connectivity is restored, extending Zero Trust to the tactical edge.

A solution that enhances existing identity systems with biometric authentication. By combining device-based credentials, passkeys, and quantum-resistant encryption, it delivers high-assurance authentication without requiring a complete infrastructure overhaul. Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft, stated that the partnership will help government agencies strengthen identity security while aligning with evolving compliance requirements. He added that the collaboration will enable organizations to reduce credential-related risks and accelerate their Zero Trust initiatives With cyber threats continuing to evolve and regulatory expectations increasing, the partnership positions both companies to support public sector organizations in building more resilient, future-proof identity security frameworks.
