Optiv
Security, a global cybersecurity integrator delivering end-to-end
cybersecurity solutions, today announced it has been recognized by
Forrester Research as a Strong Performer in The Forrester WaveTM:
Global Cybersecurity Consulting Providers, Q2 2019. The report
identifies Optiv as having received the highest possible score for six
criteria:

  • Delivery and engagement innovation
  • IP and asset-based consulting
  • Technical consulting and assessment capabilities
  • Cybersecurity focus
  • Go-to-market strategy
  • Partnership ecosystems

“Optiv’s approach to cybersecurity is aligned to new business models and
centered on driving client-focused outcomes. It is designed to optimize
and rationalize existing cybersecurity programs, build new integrated,
end to end cybersecurity programs, and help clients transform how they
are consuming and applying cybersecurity,” said Bryan Wiese, division
vice president, global advisory services for Optiv.

“We believe that receiving this designation from Forrester as a Strong
Performer affirms our approach to consulting for global enterprises,”
continued Wiese. “Historically, the fear of external threats and
vulnerabilities has often guided clients’ security initiatives. That
fear has sometimes led to tactical investment, too much of a focus on
technology, and siloed problem solving. At Optiv we work with clients to
manage their security programs from the ‘inside-out,’ starting with risk
mitigation and building from there with customized strategy, focused
process definition, technology rationalization and operations
optimization, ongoing measurement and communication. Our approach is
specifically designed to deliver to organizations integrated
cybersecurity solutions that address the speed of business change by
providing new consumption and outcome-based consulting services and
cybersecurity solutions. Our goal is help clients strike the right
balance between risk mitigation, business alignment, and cost.”

Optiv’s full suite of advisory services can be consumed alone or
combined with Optiv’s integration or managed services, or
Cyber-as-a-Service (CaaSTM) platform to harden security
fundamentals across six main domains:

  • Risk
    Management and Transformation     – Optiv enables clients to address
    risk and regulatory changes with an inside-out strategy that begins
    with business needs and applies strategy, technology and processes to
    effectively manage risk and enable cyber resilience.
  • Cyber
    Operations     – Optiv helps clients strike the right balance of
    people, process, technologies and delivery methods in order to elevate
    threat preparedness while aligning business goals and operational
    resilience and producing measurable outcomes at reduced operational
    costs.
  • Cyber
    Digital Transformation     – Optiv aligns client business needs with a
    security-by-design approach that employs big data analytics, IoT,
    cloud, orchestration and automation and additional technology
    innovations to connect agile processes and controls.
  • Identity
    and Data Management     – Optiv helps clients tackle identity and data
    sprawl and exposure with comprehensive, strategic identity and data
    management solutions. Enabling organizations to quickly and securely
    provide access to the right company assets on- and off-premise ensures
    trust and compliance in the business while also strengthening security
    by classifying, governing and protecting sensitive data.
  • Threat
    Management     – Proactively solving threat management requires a
    comprehensive program that includes tracking technological and
    regulatory changes, driving security into network design and software
    development lifecycles, continual threat modeling, testing and
    remediation, an understanding of the attack surface, and readiness
    exercises to practice muscle memory and robust response should an
    incident occur.
