Partnership Enables Federal Agencies to Meet Regulations for Phishing-Resistant MFA, Expanding Nok Nok's Presence in the Government Sector

SAN JOSE, Calif., April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- -- Nok Nok, a leader in passwordless authentication for the world's largest organizations, today announced a partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Nok Nok's Master Government Aggregator®, making the company's phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions available through Carahsoft's reseller partners, NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP), Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA), and OMNIA Partners contracts.

With the recent executive orders and regulations, Federal Government agencies are under pressure to meet certain phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements by the end of 2024. By providing access to numerous contract vehicles, Carahsoft will help streamline the procurement process for the Federal Government to acquire Nok Nok's S3 Suite and provide the integrated platform to its employees, contractors, partners, and public users.

"Through this partnership with Nok Nok, Government agencies now have expedited access to advanced passwordless technology rooted in immediately responsive authentication," said Tyler Nelson, Sales Manager who leads the Nok Nok Team at Carahsoft. "Providing our customers with solutions that they can implement right away is critical to protect their workforces. We look forward to working with Nok Nok and our reseller partners to enable agencies to prevent and mitigate the future attacks of tomorrow."

The Nok Nok S3 Authentication Suite is the first passwordless authentication platform based on FIDO standards that includes full support for both device-bound and synced passkeys and compliance solutions. The platform addresses executive orders; NIST SP800-63 and SP800-157 standards; which specify requirements for authentication, lifecycle management and derived personal identity verification credentials. Nok Nok's S3 Suite provides privacy-compliant, passwordless authentication across platforms and is designed to operate in the most demanding regulated user environments, at global scale.

"Nok Nok has a long history of successful deployments which provide next-generation phishing-resistant MFA to regulated markets around the world," said Tammi Hayes, Corporate Development Advisor at Nok Nok. "We are thrilled to work with Carahsoft and its reseller partners to enable the Federal Government with phishing-resistant MFA solutions that they can deploy with their users."

"The Nok Nok and Carahsoft partnership significantly extends the reach of Nok Nok and its MFA phishing-resistant technology to Government agencies and their supplier networks to increase safety and security for all." said Robert Lentz, President, Cyber Security Strategies.

Nok Nok's partnership with Carahsoft aligns with its commitment to the Government sector and its delivery of FedRAMP-certified Identity Access Management (IAM) solutions to Federal Governments agencies and their users. Nok Nok is the widest deployed FIDO-based platform globally, including Fortune and Global 500 banking, telco and other large institutions with hundreds of millions of users.

Nok Nok's platform is available through Carahsoft's SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042, NCPA Contract NCPA01-86 and OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902.
