NEW YORK and RESTON, Va., July 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ShardSecure, a leading provider of data security, privacy and resilience software, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as ShardSecure’s Public Sector distributor, making its products available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, OMNIA Partners and The Quilt contracts.
“Partnering with Carahsoft is a significant step forward for ShardSecure as we expand our customer base in the Public Sector market,” said Bob Lam, CEO & Co-Founder at ShardSecure. “We look forward to leveraging Carahsoft’s industry expertise, reseller network and extended reach in the Government to protect agencies from ransomware and other cybersecurity threats.”
ShardSecure’s advanced data control platform is designed to streamline unstructured data security, bolster privacy measures and fortify resilience across hybrid and multicloud environments. Key features of the platform include cutting-edge agentless file-level protection and robust safeguards against tampering, deletion, outages, ransomware and other unexpected events. Additionally, the platform employs an innovative file-level encryption technique, breaking files into micro shards too small to contain sensitive data. These micro shards are then dispersed across multiple containers that are distributed across multiple storage locations for maximum protection.
The data control platform protects Government agencies from malicious cyber-criminal attacks and other unexpected disasters. Its technology allows users to secure data from internal and external threats without the cost and complexity of agent-based encryption solutions. It’s innovative approach to file-level encryption can address data sovereignty and residency concerns in on-premises, hybrid-cloud and multicloud storage locations.
“Carahsoft is pleased to form a partnership with ShardSecure to bring its sophisticated data control platform to the Public Sector,” said Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft. “Alongside our reseller partners, we are dedicated to streamlining access to forward-looking solutions that aid Government agencies in the successful management and protection of their data.”
ShardSecure’s solutions are available through Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472, OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902 and The Quilt Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F.
