Manifest, a cybersecurity company dedicated to securing software supply chains, and Carahsoft Technology Corp. The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider announced a partnership. Under this agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Manifest’s Master Government Aggregator®, making the company’s Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management platform available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP V) and Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2) contracts.
“Carahsoft’s strong presence in the Public Sector and expertise in delivering leading cybersecurity solutions to agencies is key to supporting our mission of helping the Government effectively manage their software supply chain risk,” said Marc Frankel, CEO of Manifest. “We are thrilled to partner with Carahsoft to expand our reach in the market.”
Manifest developed an all-in-one platform that that enables organizations reduce their software supply chain and third-party risk. The platform manages the entire SBOM lifecycle—from generation to storage to sharing—allowing users to ship more secure code, respond to vulnerabilities more effectively and procure more secure technology. This is especially crucial as software supply chain vulnerabilities continue to rise.
Manifest’s SBOM management platform empowers DOD and FCEB agencies to:
- Assess vendor risk pre-procurement.
- Inventory third-party and open-source dependencies for exploitable vulnerabilities.
- Monitor internally developed applications for license issues.
- Facilitate vendor compliance with regulations.
- Reduce mean times to patch (MTTP) and mean times to remediation (MTTR) in the event of software supply chain vulnerabilities.
“Government agencies are navigating the challenge of securing their software supply chains in the face of growing cyber threats,” said Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft. “Manifest’s SBOM management platform is an important addition to our portfolio, enabling our reseller and integrators to help agencies assess vendor risk, inventory dependencies for vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with Federal mandates, all of which contribute to the security of our nation’s digital assets.”
