Government agencies are set to gain easier access to cutting-edge disinformation detection technology through a strategic partnership announced today between Cyabra Strategy Ltd. and Carahsoft Technology Corp.

The collaboration, revealed in New York and Reston, Virginia, establishes Carahsoft as Cyabra’s Master Government Aggregator®, making the company’s AI-powered platform available to public sector organizations through Carahsoft’s extensive network of reseller partners and government procurement vehicles.

This partnership comes at a critical time when disinformation campaigns increasingly threaten public trust and government operations. Under the agreement, government agencies can access Cyabra’s technology through multiple established procurement channels, including NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), and several other major contract vehicles.

“Information integrity is a resilience requirement for every agency, not just an election year issue,” explained Josh Levontin, Vice President of Public Sector at Cyabra. “Through Carahsoft, agencies can quickly deploy the Cyabra platform, integrate alerts into existing workflows, and move from detection to action with confidence, while maintaining strong model governance and privacy controls appropriate for the Public Sector.”

The threat landscape has evolved significantly in recent years. Adversaries now employ sophisticated tactics to spread false narratives, using synthetic accounts to amplify disinformation and specifically targeting vulnerable communities. These operations can systematically erode public trust and interfere with essential government services.

Cyabra’s platform addresses these challenges by providing real-time detection of harmful narratives and fake accounts across social media and digital news channels. The technology enables agencies to identify emerging threats more efficiently and respond to rapidly evolving disinformation tactics.

Brian O’Donnell, Vice President of Cybersecurity Solutions at Carahsoft, highlighted the strategic importance of the partnership: “Cyabra’s disinformation detection platform equips agencies with critical tools to detect and analyze disinformation campaigns at scale. Cyabra’s solutions deliver actionable intelligence, empowering agencies to monitor, assess and counter disinformation in real time.”

The technology arrives as government agencies face increasingly sophisticated information threats. Recent studies have shown a dramatic rise in AI-generated content designed to mislead the public, with a 300% increase in synthetic media detected across platforms in the past year alone, according to industry research.

Cyabra’s platform leverages proprietary algorithms and natural language processing to gather and analyze publicly available data, providing clear, actionable insights that inform critical decision-making. This capability is especially valuable for agencies responsible for protecting critical infrastructure, public health messaging, and election integrity.

The partnership represents a significant advancement in making sophisticated threat detection tools accessible to government organizations of all sizes. Previously, smaller agencies often lacked the resources or technical capabilities to implement such advanced solutions, leaving them vulnerable to disinformation campaigns.

For Carahsoft, known as The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, the addition of Cyabra’s platform enhances its comprehensive cybersecurity portfolio. The company has established itself as a crucial bridge between innovative technology vendors and government agencies, helping to navigate complex procurement processes.

Market analysts note that this partnership comes amid heightened attention to information security within government agencies. Following several high-profile disinformation incidents targeting public services, federal authorities have emphasized the need for more robust detection and response capabilities.

The Cyabra platform will be available through multiple contract vehicles, making it accessible to federal, state, and local government agencies. Interested organizations can contact Carahsoft’s team directly to explore implementation options and integration with existing security frameworks.

Cyabra, which has entered into a business combination agreement with Trailblazer Merger Corporation I, continues to expand its presence in the government sector as concerns about disinformation and synthetic media grow across public institutions worldwide.
