Semperis Is Now an Approved Software Vendor with the Texas Department of Information Resources, Furthering Its Reach in the Public Sector Market

Semperis is extending its reach into the public sector and is now an approved software vendor in the State of Texas through a recent contract awarded to Apollo Information Systems by the Texas DIR

HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Semperis, a pioneer in identity-driven cyber resilience, today announced that its products and services are approved for use by Texas state, local and education (SLED) agencies, through a contract awarded to Apollo Information Systems Corp. by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR).

Active Directory (AD) and Azure AD (now Entra ID), used by 90 percent of organizations worldwide to authenticate and access critical applications and services, are under sustained attack in the public sector by numerous threat actors because of legacy infrastructure, lack of identity security expertise and limited resources. Semperis is the only cybersecurity platform that protects Active Directory from cyberattacks before, during and after a breach.

"We are excited to be an approved vendor on the new contract awarded by the Texas DIR to Apollo. Attacks on identity systems, and specifically Active Directory, can have devastating results, causing business disruptions, proprietary data loss, and leaving some public sector agencies forced to disconnect systems from their networks for weeks and months," said Mike DeGaetano, CRO, Semperis.

Semperis' technology and services are available through DIR contract # DIR-CPO-5329.

This announcement marks Semperis' further expansion in the SLED market. Earlier this year, Semperis named Carahsoft its public sector distributor, making the company's industry-leading identity resilience platform available to the public sector through Carahsoft's reseller partners and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA), and OMNIA Partners contracts.
