  • SecureW2 partners with Carahsoft to expand access to its passwordless, certificate-based connectivity solutions in the public sector.
  • Carahsoft becomes SecureW2’s Public Sector distributor, offering JoinNow through NASPO ValuePoint, TIPS, OMNIA Partners, E&I, and The Quilt contracts.
  • JoinNow provides automated NIST-aligned EAP-TLS certificate authentication, fully supporting CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model and CMMC requirements.
  • The cloud-native platform eliminates on-premise hardware, reduces credential abuse risks, and centralizes identity-based access control across agencies.
  • JoinNow integrates with existing identity providers, MDM, and EDR tools for granular, risk-based policy enforcement and real-time posture visibility.
  • The partnership addresses rising credential-based attacks on government organizations with a lightweight, scalable Zero Trust solution.

SecureW2’s JoinNow platform delivers phishing-resistant, identity-driven secure access without increasing complexity for IT teams or end users. By leveraging managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Cloud RADIUS, it automates certificate issuance, lifecycle management, and authentication using EAP-TLS. This approach strengthens operational resilience, minimizes shared credential risks, and provides real-time visibility into user and device posture—critical for multi-entity government environments facing compressed timelines, audit scrutiny, and evolving threats.

“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 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.”

The partnership enables public sector agencies to deploy passwordless, phishing-resistant connectivity at scale while meeting stringent compliance and security standards. SecureW2’s solutions are now accessible through Carahsoft’s established contract vehicles, simplifying procurement and accelerating adoption across federal, state, local, education, and government-related entities.
