SecureW2 has partnered with Carahsoft Technology Corp. to expand access to passwordless security solutions across the Public Sector. Through this agreement, Carahsoft will serve as SecureW2’s Public Sector distributor, making its Cloud RADIUS and managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solutions available to Government agencies via reseller partners and established cooperative purchasing contracts, including NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract, and The Quilt.
As cyber threats targeting Government agencies continue to escalate, compromised credentials remain one of the most exploited attack vectors. Therefore, Public Sector organizations are accelerating efforts to adopt Zero Trust frameworks and modernize identity security strategies. This partnership aims to simplify that transition by delivering scalable, certificate-based authentication solutions without increasing infrastructure complexity.

“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.”
SecureW2’s JoinNow platform plays a central role in this initiative. Specifically, the cloud-native solution enhances identity-based security by replacing passwords with certificate-based authentication. As a result, agencies can reduce the risk of credential theft while avoiding additional on-premise hardware or administrative burden. Furthermore, JoinNow centralizes identity-driven access control across departments, remote offices, and distributed agency environments.
The platform’s PKI and Cloud RADIUS capabilities enable automated, NIST-aligned certificate-based authentication using EAP-TLS. In addition, the solution fully supports the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements, helping agencies strengthen both device and user verification. By aligning with these Federal cybersecurity standards, SecureW2 positions agencies to improve compliance while reducing operational risk.
Moreover, JoinNow integrates seamlessly with existing identity providers, Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems, and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools. This integration centralizes identity and compliance data, enabling agencies to apply granular, role-based and risk-based policies to each issued certificate. Consequently, IT teams gain real-time visibility into user and device posture while enforcing automated security policies across their networks.

By eliminating password-based authentication and automating certificate lifecycle management, the platform reduces administrative overhead and minimizes exposure to phishing and credential-based attacks. At the same time, it enhances operational resilience without expanding physical infrastructure, which is particularly important for resource-constrained Government IT teams.
“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.”
Overall, the partnership strengthens the delivery of passwordless, identity-centric security solutions to Federal, State, and Local agencies. As Government organizations continue to prioritize Zero Trust adoption, SecureW2 and Carahsoft aim to provide scalable, standards-aligned authentication tools that modernize infrastructure while defending against evolving cyber threats.
