Cayosoft Lands Major Deal with IRS for Microsoft Identity Management
Cayosoft, which specializes in Microsoft security and management solutions, this month announced it has inked a multiyear contract with the Internal Revenue Service to provide identity management solutions for the agency's Microsoft environments.
Under the agreement, Cayosoft's software will facilitate identity automation, security and compliance across the IRS for Active Directory, Entra ID and Microsoft 365. The overarching goal of the deal is to modernize legacy IRS systems, which are costly to manage, update and secure. Previously, the IRS worked with an unnamed "legacy vendor" to manage its Microsoft identity products, though it eventually found those tools to be ill-suited to an increasingly cloud-based environment.
"Modernizing infrastructure is a key initiative for the federal government, and we're honored that Cayosoft was selected as a trusted technology partner to support that mission," said Cayosoft CEO Bob Bobel in a prepared statement. "This implementation delivers stronger security, greater efficiency, and the resiliency needed to sustain operations during disruptions."
The IRS contract highlights the increasing focus among federal agencies on bolstering identity governance, as cybersecurity threats targeting government infrastructure continue to rise. Cayosoft's win also comes amid broader federal modernization efforts, including zero trust adoption initiatives outlined last fall by the Office of Management and Budget (PDF).
