Expanding Ransomware Prevention for the Public Sector: SecuritySnares Partners with Carahsoft

Ransomware is no longer just a cybersecurity issue—it’s a direct threat to public safety, national security, and operational continuity. From municipalities and school systems to federal agencies and critical infrastructure, public sector organizations are increasingly targeted by sophisticated attacks designed to encrypt systems, exfiltrate sensitive data, and force costly ransom payments. And in many cases, the disruption extends far beyond IT—impacting essential services people rely on every day.

To address this growing threat, SecuritySnares has partnered with Carahsoft to bring a new standard of ransomware prevention to the Public Sector. Read the full press release in our newsroom.

The Shift from Detection to Prevention

Most cybersecurity solutions focus on detection and response, identifying threats after they have already entered the environment. But ransomware moves fast. By the time traditional tools detect malicious activity, encryption may already be underway, data may already be exfiltrated, and operational disruption is often unavoidable.

At the core of this partnership is RansomSnare, SecuritySnares’ purpose-built ransomware prevention platform. Unlike traditional solutions that rely on detection after an attack has begun, RansomSnare stops ransomware at the point of execution by terminating malicious processes the moment they attempt to encrypt files or exfiltrate data. Powered by a lightweight mathematical algorithm, it operates with minimal system impact and has successfully blocked all ransomware variants for over five years without requiring updates. By preventing encryption, data theft, and system disruption before they occur, RansomSnare eliminates the need for costly recovery efforts, downtime, and ransom payments—delivering a fundamentally different approach to cyber resilience.

Delivering Cyber Resilience at Scale

By integrating RansomSnare into Carahsoft’s portfolio of trusted solutions, Public Sector organizations can:

• Deploy preventative ransomware protection without overhauling existing infrastructure
• Strengthen their security posture with a complementary, purpose-built control layer
• Scale protection across agencies and departments through established reseller networks

This is not about replacing existing tools—it’s about closing a critical gap in the cybersecurity stack.

Why This Partnership Matters

Government agencies face a uniquely complex cybersecurity landscape:

• Legacy and modern systems operating side by side
• Expanding attack surfaces across distributed environments
• Strict procurement pathways that can slow access to innovation
• Increasingly persistent and well-funded threat actors

Through this partnership, Carahsoft serves as SecuritySnares’ Master Government Aggregator®, making our purpose-built ransomware prevention technology available through established and trusted contract vehicles, including:

• NASA SEWP V
• ITES-SW2
• NASPO ValuePoint
• TIPS
• OMNIA Partners
• E&I Cooperative Services
• The Quilt

This dramatically simplifies procurement while accelerating access to preventative ransomware defense.

A Shared Commitment to Protecting Critical Systems

“Protecting our nation’s digital infrastructure requires innovative security measures,” said Michael Shrader, Vice President of Intelligence and Innovative Solutions at Carahsoft. We agree. At SecuritySnares, our mission is to eliminate ransomware as a viable threat—not just detect it faster or respond more efficiently, but stop it altogether. Partnering with Carahsoft allows us to extend that mission to more agencies, more systems, and more communities across the country.
