Carahsoft and Vectra AI Announce Vectra AI's Achievement of FedRAMP® High Authorization for its AI-Native Security and Observability Platform

SAN JOSE, Calif. and RESTON, Va., Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vectra AI, the leader in AI-native security and observability, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, today announced that Vectra AI has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP^®) High Authorization for its Vectra AI Platform. The platform helps agencies continuously understand cyber risk across modern Federal environments, prioritize real attacker activity and act before threats affect mission operations.

"Federal agencies don't need another dashboard—they need continuous understanding of what's happening across their mission environment," said John Klopacz, Vice President of Federal at Vectra AI. "Vectra AI’s FedRAMP High Authorization enables agencies to deploy AI-native security that continuously observes behavior across identities, networks, cloud services and critical infrastructure at machine speed, giving defenders the trusted signal with context they need to effectively contain exposure, accelerate response and ultimately, protect mission continuity."

Federal missions no longer operate across isolated networks, applications and devices. Today's environments span identities, cloud workloads, contractors, operational technology, AI systems and critical infrastructure that function as one interconnected mission environment. While agencies have invested heavily in cybersecurity tools and modernization initiatives, defenders still face a fundamental challenge: turning fragmented activity into a continuous understanding of where cyber risk is building and what action matters most.

With FedRAMP High authorization, Federal agencies can now deploy the Vectra AI Platform to:

• Correlate attack signals across network, identity, cloud, SaaS, operational technology (OT) and AI infrastructure to identify real attacks faster.
• Proactively reduce attack exposure by identifying identity risks and attack paths before they are exploited.
• Accelerate investigations and response through AI-driven prioritization and automation.
• Produce audit-ready evidence supporting continuous monitoring, Zero Trust initiatives and cyber resilience.

The Vectra AI Platform is available to Federal agencies through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and Government contract vehicles, helping streamline procurement and support agncies’ cybersecurity modernization and Zero Trust initiatives.

“Achieving FedRAMP High Authorization for the Vectra AI Platform represents an important step forward in giving Federal agencies access to advanced, AI-native cybersecurity capabilities that meet the rigorous requirements of the Public Sector,” said Michael Adams, Program Executive for AI Solutions at Carahsoft. “Carahsoft and its reseller partners are proud to help make this technology more accessible to agencies seeking to strengthen Zero Trust, improve cyber resilience and address increasingly complex threats. This authorization will help agencies gain greater visibility into cyber risk, accelerate threat detection and response, and ultimately protect the systems and services that are essential to the American public.”

FedRAMP High Authorization builds on Vectra AI’s continued investment in helping Public Sector organizations modernize cyber defense for the AI era. Its availability through Carahsoft expands Federal access to the Vectra AI Platform, helping agencies continuously understand cyber risk, reduce exposure and protect mission continuity in an increasingly interconnected world.
