Velos Solutions Teams with Carahsoft to Improve Partner Nation Cybersecurity

 

TYSONS, Va. — August 10, 2023 —Velos Solutions, the leader in U.S. Partner Nation cybersecurity solutions, today announced a partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Velos Solutions’ Master Government Aggregator®, making its robust cyber security solutions available to U.S. Partner Nations through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2) and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contracts.

“A common approach to cybersecurity with our Partner Nations is the bedrock for achieving today’s ‘digital diplomacy’, but it’s often a difficult and complex road to travel, said Bill Cameron, Co-founder at Velos Solutions. “Carahsoft’s expertise with Federal procurement and status as Master Aggregator to the top technology companies ensures that we are able to deliver the best solutions in support of this mission.”

Competition among nation states for network influence and dominance is at an all-time high. Secure communications across networks with Partner Nations are vital to U.S. national security and the joint mission environment. However, not every Partner Nation has the resources, funding or knowledge to develop and maintain an effective cybersecurity posture. This weakened state leaves exploitable gaps that can be used to target the U.S. 

With extensive knowledge and expertise, Velos helps Partner Nations to navigate U.S. Foreign Military Sales funding programs and build a resilient, sustainable cybersecurity posture with innovative solutions that combine best-of-breed commercial software, like the SimSpace Cyber Force Platform, with world-class deployment and custom training.  This novel approach enables U.S. Partner Nations to ensure their own cybersecurity posture, and by extension ensure the link with their U.S. counterparts remains free from interference.

“For national security and cybersecurity measures to be effective, they must be uniformly strong across domestic and international channels. Velos Solutions understands this and has developed systems that aid the U.S. and its allies in maintaining a parallel secure environment for communication and collaboration,” said Alex Whitworth, Sales Director who leads the Velos Solutions Team at Carahsoft. “Through this partnership between Velos Solutions, Carahsoft, our vendor and reseller partners, we are supporting the seamless alliance and fusion of resources towards each government’s mutual top priorities.”

"We are proud to team with Velos Solutions to bring SimSpace's Cyber Force Platform to meet the security missions of U.S. allies. Each of our allied nations has a vital mission to protect their national critical infrastructure from nation-state and organized criminal threat actors," said William Hutchison, former U.S. Cyber Command Leader and CEO of SimSpace. “Velos has the expertise and global reach to deploy our military-grade cyber ranges which enable the development of battle-ready cybersecurity teams, technologies, and processes to create continuous security improvements today and into the future."

Velos Solutions software and services are available through Carahsoft’s resellers and its ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042 and SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B. For more information, contact the Velos Solutions team at Carahsoft at (844) 445-5688 or velos@carahsoft.com.
