On March 18, Lastwall and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a partnership to deliver unified Zero Trust and quantum-ready identity protection to the public sector. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Lastwall’s public sector distributor, making Lastwall’s IDCommand Suite available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.
“Identity is no longer just an access point. It’s the new frontline in an era where quantum decryption and AI-driven impersonation converge to break what was once unbreakable,” said Karl Holmqvist, founder and CEO of Lastwall. “Most organizations still treat identity as a checkbox, but the clock is ticking faster than they realize. This partnership with Carahsoft gives government and defense leaders a direct, trusted path to accelerate adoption of Zero Trust principles at the foundational identity layer, before today’s encryption becomes tomorrow’s open book.”
Credential compromise remains the leading cyberattack vector in the public sector, making identity the front line of defense. The Department of War (DoW) requires all Components to achieve Target-Level Zero Trust compliance by 2027, while Executive Order 14306 directs all federal agencies to support post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2030, creating a growing urgency to modernize authentication and ensure long-term resilience against evolving threats. Trusted by the U.S. DoW’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the Government of Canada, Lastwall’s IDCommand Suite meets this need by replacing outdated and fragmented access systems with a unified Zero Trust identity framework that secures cloud, hybrid and disconnected environments, with quantum resilience built in.
“Our partnership with Lastwall will help us deliver secure, quantum-resilient identity solutions to our government customers,” said Brian O’Donnell, vice president of cybersecurity solutions at Carahsoft. “Together with our reseller partners, we look forward to helping agencies modernize authentication, reduce credential risk and advance Zero Trust initiatives in line with new security mandates.”
