BlueVoyant Approved as an MDR Vendor for All 19 Erie 1 BOCES Districts Through Carahsoft

Eligible New York School Boards Can Now Access BlueVoyant’s MDR Services Through Carahsoft's Contract Vehicles

NEW YORK and RESTON, Va., Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BlueVoyant and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider^®, today announced that BlueVoyant has been named as an approved Managed Detection and Response (MDR) vendor for Erie 1 Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), delivered through its partnership with Carahsoft. The approval, awarded through a competitive request for proposal (RFP) administered by the Western New York Regional Information Center (WNYRIC), covers all 19 component school districts within Erie 1 BOCES, empowering eligible New York school boards with access to the same coverage through Carahsoft’s contract vehicles without conducting a separate RFP.

“Many K-12 IT teams run Microsoft Sentinel and Defender, but limited staffing resources can make it difficult to realize their full value, especially with round-the-clock monitoring,” said Steve D'Alessandro, Sales Director SLG at BlueVoyant. “Through this approval, Erie 1 BOCES is giving New York districts a more efficient path to enhance their cyber defenses with a 24/7 security operations center, while building on the Microsoft technologies they already have in place.”

BlueVoyant MDR for Microsoft provides a 24/7 Security Operations team backed by BlueVoyant Al. BlueVoyant MDR identifies, investigates and stops today's most sophisticated cyber threats while streamlining security operations and maximizing the value of existing security investments. BlueVoyant AI scales SOC analysts’ decision clarity and consistency.

“This approval provides Erie 1 BOCES districts with a more efficient path to acquiring BlueVoyant’s advanced MDR services,” said Alex Whitworth, Cybersecurity Solutions Vertical Executive at Carahsoft. “Carahsoft and our reseller partners are committed to helping education organizations accelerate access to innovative cybersecurity solutions through streamlined procurement. Together with BlueVoyant, we are helping school boards strengthen their cyber resilience and better protect their networks, staff and students against evolving cyber threats.”
