INTERCEDE GROUP plc

('Intercede', the 'Company' or the 'Group')

Partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp

Intercede, the leading cybersecurity software company specialising in digital identities, today announces a partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp to Make Digital Identity Cybersecurity Solutions available to the Public Sector in the US.

Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Intercede's Master Government Aggregator®, making Intercede's products available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft's reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions - Software 2 (ITES-SW2) and OMNIA Partners contracts.

Through this partnership, Intercede will provide its MyID Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and MyID Password Security Management (PSM) solutions to the Public Sector. The MyID MFA offers a comprehensive range of secure, cost-effective and simple-to-deploy MFA options tailored meet the evolving organizational requirements of the Government. Additionally, Intercede's MyID PSM features a uniquely extensive, regularly updated database of breached credentials sourced from the dark web. This database facilitates continuous monitoring for compromised passwords and offers users prompt feedback to validate password changes and reduce help-desk cost.

Intercede's MyID MFA solution, including support for FIDO Passkeys, enables agencies to enhance security and protect themselves against prevalent vulnerabilities, thus overcoming deployment challenges. It offers a wide range of authentication options that balance security with ease of use and protect cloud, on-premise and Windows desktop logon. Additionally, with the MyID PSM solution, users can create passwords that adhere to best practice and corporate policies. They also benefit from real-time password change feedback with advice on the length and strength of passwords through its Password Expiry Meter.

Klaas van der Leest, CEO of Intercede said:

"We are particularly pleased to partner with Carahsoft to further enable Intercede in our strategic plan to expand our product portfolio into key markets of the U.S. With Carahsoft's depth and reach in the Federal, Local Government space and Educational market we look forward to developing and strengthening our new relationship."
