EMERGING TECHNOLOGY, CYBERSECURITY
Prnewswire | April 18, 2023
Ontinue, a leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider and winner of the 2022 Microsoft Security MSSP Partner of the Year award, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Ontinue's Master Government Aggregator®, making the Ontinue ION managed extended detection and response (MXDR) service available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft's reseller partners, National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) and OMNIA Partners contracts.
The Public Sector in the U.S. has been a prime target for cyber criminals. More than 2,300 Local Governments, schools and Healthcare providers were victims of ransomware in 2021. Contributing to the success of these bad actors is the ongoing shortage of cybersecurity professionals, which has prevented many organizations from fully staffing their security operations.
"We are excited to partner with Carahsoft and its resellers and systems integrators to address the most complex security needs of Government agencies, Educational institutions and Healthcare providers," said Chris Raniere, Chief Revenue Officer for Ontinue. "This partnership with Carahsoft will make ION MXDR available to these organizations, which struggle to protect themselves with understaffed security teams. MXDR is an ideal solution for these organizations, combining 24/7 monitoring and rapid responsiveness to detect and contain threats early in the cyber kill chain."
"The addition of Ontinue's MXDR service to Carahsoft's portfolio provides Public Sector organizations with an award-winning solution to meet their critical security requirements," said Tiffany Goddard, Sales Director who leads the Ontinue Team at Carahsoft. "Working together with Ontinue and our reseller partners, we can help these organizations improve their cybersecurity posture to counter ransomware and other serious threats. In addition to helping customers maximize their existing Microsoft security investments, our joint efforts will also drive further Azure consumption."
Ontinue ION sets the new standard for MXDR services. It uniquely delivers Nonstop SecOps with 24/7, always-on protection while increasing overall security program maturity, efficacy and scalability. The ION service brings together the cloud-native ION platform and the ION Cyber Defense Center, a 24/7 globally distributed security operation staffed by experts including the company's teams of Cyber Advisors and Cyber Defenders. The ION platform integrates advanced automation and real-time collaboration capabilities from the recent acquisition of Tiberium, a highly automated managed security services provider based on Microsoft security solutions. These capabilities power several innovations that elevate ION over other MXDR services.
Ontinue's ION MXDR service is available through Carahsoft's NCPA Contract NCPA01-86 and OMNIA Partners Contract #R191902. For more information, contact the Ontinue team at Carahsoft at (888) 662-2724 or MicrosoftISV@carahsoft.com.

Planview | March 08, 2023
On March 07, 2023, Planview, one of the leading platforms for connected work from portfolio planning to delivery, announced it achieved Impact Level 4 (IL4) authorization in partnership with a Planview-certified partner, Rise8. In addition, Planview's Value Stream Management (VSM) solution, Planview® Tasktop Viz, is integrated with Second Front Systems' Game Warden platform for authorization. With Authorization to Operate at IL4, Planview can deploy its VSM solution to agencies within the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
In an increasingly digital world, the federal government intensifies the demand to build and run software that helps its people and mission. However, as government agencies struggle to keep up with contemporary solutions, the pace of IT reforms and the impact of technology on operations is at a breaking point. As a result, innovative federal programs and agencies are implementing secure operating models to improve government service delivery.
In the Forrester Wave™: Value Stream Management Q4 2022 report by Sarah Morana, Chris Condo, and Kara Hartig, Planview was named a leader on December 6, 2022, after the company acquired Tasktop in the previous year.
CTO at Planview and Creator of the Flow Framework®, Mik Kersten, stated, “With our VSM solution authorized to operate at the federal level, leaders can now gain unprecedented visibility into transformation efforts. We are helping to close the digital divide between the public’s expectations of modern digital experiences and what technology services the federal government can offer when building on large, complex, and legacy systems.” He added, “Planview Tasktop Viz offers clear, simple visibility by enabling data-driven decisions, uncovering bottlenecks that result in delays in planning, and gaining actionable items upfront.”
