RapidFort, the fastest growing cybersecurity company securing the global software supply chain, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider, announced a partnership. This partnership enhances Carahsoft’s portfolio with RapidFort’s software supply chain security platform and curated near-zero CVE images, enabling Public Sector organizations and Government agencies to proactively reduce vulnerabilities by 95% and fast-track Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and CMMC compliance by months. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as RapidFort’s Public Sector distributor, making the company’s solutions available through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contract and E&I Cooperative Services Contract contracts.

“Carahsoft and its reseller partners are proud to provide our customers with a powerful, DoD-trusted platform that enables them to improve their software security and significantly reduce their time to compliance,” said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft President. “With RapidFort as part of our portfolio, organizations can now build more secure software, maintain continuous compliance and meet the highest Federal security standards more efficiently and effectively.”

Achieving and maintaining compliance with Federal frameworks is a complex, resource-intensive process for vendors. It requires continuous vulnerability management, strict adherence to regulatory standards and substantial documentation. Often, this slows down product launches and places a heavy burden on development and security teams. Public Sector customers needed a more proactive, scalable way to reduce risk and accelerate compliance timelines without compromising on security.
