Anchore and Carahsoft Partner to Provide Container-Based Security to the Public Sector

Anchore Solutions Now Available on Carahsoft SEWP, U.S. Air Force and Maryland COTS Contracts

Anchore, experts in container workflow, analysis and security, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider, announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Anchore’s Master Government Aggregator, making Anchore’s container security inspection platform available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V and Maryland Commercial Off the Shelf Software (COTS) contracts and the company’s reseller partners. In addition, Anchore is available under Carahsoft’s U.S. Air Force DevSecOps BOA, which is established to support the U.S. Air Force LevelUP mission as well as the DevSecOps goals of the greater Department of Defense (DoD) and related agencies.

“We chose Carahsoft as our Master Government Aggregator based on their ability to effectively address the broad and complex public sector market,” said Craig Bowman, Vice President of Public Sector at Anchore. “Organizations building and deploying cloud-native technologies – including the DoD and civilian agencies such as the DHS, VA, and HHS – need Anchore to manage an increasingly fragmented and dynamic software supply chain. With this partnership, we can use policy-based compliance to secure workflows across the public sector.”

As application modernization and complexity increases, developers are in need of tools that address and analyze container security without compromising momentum. Anchore’s container workflow, analysis and security platform mitigates risks and prevents vulnerabilities to containers while defining and enforcing security policies.

“As container use in agencies’ DevSecOps pipelines continues to rise, the need to protect those containers from threats also increases,” said Natalie Gregory, Vice President of Sales at Carahsoft. “Anchore’s mission to help users create and deploy trusted software quickly and efficiently alleviates those risks. We look forward to working with Anchore and our reseller partners to bring security-first solutions to the public sector.”
