Vali Cyber and ̽»¨ÊÓƵ Partner to Deliver Preemptive Hypervisor Security Platform to Government Agencies

ZeroLock^® Platform Now Available to the Public Sector Through ̽»¨ÊÓƵ

NEW YORK and RESTON, Va. — June 23, 2026 — , the leader in Preemptive Hypervisor Security, and Ì½»¨ÊÓƵ., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, ̽»¨ÊÓƵ will serve as Vali Cyber’s Master Government Aggregator^®, making the company’s preemptive hypervisor security platform, ZeroLock^®, available to the Public Sector through ̽»¨ÊÓƵ’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V and Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2) contracts.

“As the AI threat grows, our partnership with ̽»¨ÊÓƵ enables us to bring a new preemptive approach to infrastructure security to Government agencies,” said Anthony Gadient, CEO & Cofounder of Vali Cyber. “As threat actors increasingly target the virtualization layer, agencies need preemptive protections that secure the hypervisor without disrupting operations. Through ̽»¨ÊÓƵ’s trusted Public Sector distribution network, we can help organizations preemptively stop attacks against their most critical systems while maintaining the performance and continuity their missions require.”

Federal and defense organizations are increasingly adopting private AI and virtualization to securely process sensitive and classified data, making the underlying infrastructure more critical and more targeted than ever. Threat actors have developed advanced techniques that bypass traditional defenses and attack the hypervisor directly. VMware vSphere provides mission-critical compute virtualization for ̽»¨ÊÓƵ’s customers, and as a Broadcom Technology Alliance Partner (TAP), Vali Cyber adds validated, proactive hypervisor protection to complement the already world-class Broadcom security suite. Security leaders have called for a shift away from reactive EDR-based defenses toward more proactive protection at the infrastructure layer, aligned with MITRE’s inclusion of the hypervisor attack surface in the latest ATT&CK^® framework.

“Before founding Vali Cyber, I spent years working on satellite systems where failure simply wasn’t an option,” said Austin Gadient, CTO & Cofounder of Vali Cyber. “What I saw then, and still see today, is a real gap in how virtualization infrastructure is protected, especially in Public Sector environments. Our partnership with ̽»¨ÊÓƵ helps agencies close that gap by delivering protection at the hypervisor layer, where attackers are increasingly operating.”

Recognized by Gartner as a key startup in security software, Vali Cyber delivers a preemptive, multilayer approach to hypervisor security that addresses 100% of MITRE ATT&CK ESXi TTPs. By integrating prevention-first controls, AI-driven detection and automated remediation, its ZeroLock platform helps Government agencies protect mission-critical systems, ensure operational continuity and secure the virtualization environments that support modern Public Sector operations.

“Vali Cyber empowers agencies with a comprehensive, prevention-first platform to defend against evolving threats,” said Ryon Williams, Sales Manager who oversees the Vali Cyber Team at ̽»¨ÊÓƵ. “ZeroLock stops threats with real-time behavioral analysis and remediation, enabling agencies to safeguard critical infrastructure while enhancing operational efficiency. ̽»¨ÊÓƵ and our reseller partners look forward to working with Vali Cyber to deliver advanced, AI-driven detection and remediation capabilities to the Public Sector.”

Vali Cyber’s solutions are available through ̽»¨ÊÓƵ’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B and ITES-SW2 Contract W52P1J-20-D-0042. For more information, contact the ̽»¨ÊÓƵ Team at (703) 230-7597 or ValiCyber@carahsoft.com. Explore Vali Cyber’s solutions here.
