Cyware and Carahsoft partner to deliver operationalised threat intelligence to public sector agencies

Cyware, an industry leader in threat intelligence operationalisation, collaboration and orchestrated response, and Carahsoft, a trusted government IT solutions provider, have announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Cyware’ s public sector distributor, making Cyware’ s solutions available to State, Local, Tribal and Territorial( SLTT) agencies 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.

As cyberattacks on public infrastructure increase in scale and complexity, organisations face mounting pressure to improve threat visibility, coordination and response – often with limited resources and fragmented systems. SLTT agencies play a foundational role in the nation’ s cyberresilience, and this partnership streamlines the path to stronger, AI-powered defences.
“ SLTT agencies are on the front lines of today’ s cyber battlefield, yet they’ re often underserved when it comes to advanced defence capabilities,” said Tom Stockmeyer, Managing Director of Government at Cyware.“ Our partnership with Carahsoft ensures these agencies can rapidly access and implement Cyware’ s AI-driven solutions. It’ s about delivering meaningful outcomes, better protection, faster response and stronger community resilience.”
Cyware empowers agencies through unified threat intelligence ingestion, sharing and response – integrated with key public sector resources such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency( CISA)’ s Automated Indicator Sharing
( AIS) programme and multiple Information Sharing and Analysis Centres( ISACs), including MS-ISAC and Health-ISAC. The platform supports real-time collaboration and automation across cyber operations, enabling SLTT organisations to act faster and with greater precision to strengthen their cyberdefences.
“ Our partnership with Carahsoft is a significant step forward in empowering SLTT agencies with the right tools to defend against cyberthreats,” said Shashi Nair, Head of Channel at Cyware.“ By combining Carahsoft’ s trusted procurement channels with Cyware’ s cutting-edge solutions, we’ re making it easier for these agencies to quickly adopt and operationalise threat intelligence and response capabilities. This collaboration will help streamline the path to stronger, more resilient cybersecurity for our public sector partners.”
Cyware’ s solutions are designed to address the unique needs of public sector teams, with support for specific government use capabilities such as ACS Markings, flexible deployment options( cloud or on-premises), scalability for agencies of all sizes and alignment with key compliance initiatives. Cyware is currently‘ StateRAMP In Process’ and supports SLTT teams leveraging the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Programme( SLCGP) and other funding vehicles. p
