Zenity and Carahsoft Bring AI Agent Security and Governance to Federal, State and Local Agencies

New Partnership Brings Unified Visibility, Governance and Control for AI Agents to Federal, State and Local Agencies

Zenity, a leading security and governance platform for AI agents, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, today announced a strategic partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Zenity’s Public Sector distributor, making the company’s platform available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.

AI agents are rapidly gaining the ability to access systems, make decisions and take actions on behalf of users. Across Government agencies, these autonomous systems are increasingly interacting with sensitive data, mission-critical workflows and public services. Yet most organizations lack visibility into where agents are deployed, what they can access and how they behave once operational.

Zenity enables agencies to discover AI agents across SaaS applications, cloud environments and endpoints, understand what those agents can access and enforce controls when agent behavior creates risk or violates policy.

“Government agencies are entering a new era where software no longer just responds to instructions, it takes action. The challenge is no longer securing AI models alone but governing the agents that use them. Through our partnership with Carahsoft, agencies gain visibility into AI agent activity and the ability to enforce policy before autonomous actions create operational or security risk.” said Seth Nylund, GM of Public Sector at Zenity.

Through Carahsoft’s extensive Public Sector ecosystem and contract vehicles, agencies will have streamlined access to Zenity’s capabilities through established procurement pathways.

“As AI agents become embedded in Government operations, agencies require more than visibility. They need governance, security and policy enforcement aligned with emerging frameworks and mandates. Zenity provides a differentiated approach to managing AI agent risk, making it a strong addition to our AI solutions portfolio.” said Michael Adams, Program Executive for AI Solutions at Carahsoft.

Zenity’s platform supports a unified national AI policy framework, helping agencies operationalize guidance from NIST, OWASP Agentic Security Initiative and Federal AI directives. By delivering continuous discovery, posture management, runtime protection and policy enforcement across environments, Zenity enables agencies to reduce risk while accelerating mission outcomes.

Together, Zenity, Carahsoft and its reseller partners are helping agencies adopt AI agents with the visibility, governance and control required to realize the benefits of autonomous systems without introducing unacceptable risk.
