Trout Software, a leader in proxy-based security for Operational Technologies (OT) and legacy systems, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Trout Software's Master Government Aggregator®, making the company's Trout Access Gate solution 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.
We are thrilled to partner with Carahsoft to help agencies protect the critical systems they depend on. Much of the nation's critical infrastructure still relies on aging OT equipment that cannot be patched or moved to the cloud. Trout Access Gate places a security proxy, deployable in minutes, directly in front of these assets to enable agencies to strengthen resilience with zero downtime and accelerate their path to compliance.
Trout Access Gate applies Zero Trust security to the essential OT and legacy systems that support public operations, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) servers, sensors, cameras, building automation systems, controllers and equipment.
With a single appliance per site, Trout Access Gate places a dedicated security proxy in front of each critical asset, providing:
- Zero Trust access controls
- Network and asset cloaking
- Micro-segmentation without network redesign
- Secure remote operations
- Protocol filtering and audit visibility
- CMMC / NIST 800-171 ready safeguards
This approach enables organizations to strengthen cyber-physical resilience while maintaining existing infrastructure, which is a priority for municipalities, public utilities, defense logistics sites and manufacturing operations that support the Defense Industrial Base.
Adding Trout Software to our portfolio enables organizations to modernize on-premise and OT security quickly and with minimal disruption. As cyber threats increasingly target legacy systems and critical infrastructure, Trout's on-premise Zero Trust overlay delivers a critical capability for our Government and DIB customers, particularly as they work toward NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance. Carahsoft and our reseller partners are pleased to collaborate with Trout Software to help protect our nation's critical infrastructures.
