Win is the first for new strategic partnership, pairing Exiger's technology and InterSec's services

The contract with the Cabinet-level agency will scale over a five-year period.

"We're thrilled to expand our federal customer base and excited to offer the Department of the Interior an unprecedented level of visibility into software and hardware supply chain risk through the deployment of our award-winning AI solutions.
