“By now most organizations understand the importance of having a solid cybersecurity strategy in place. Unfortunately, the constantly changing threat landscape makes it difficult for business, IT and security leaders to determine the best path forward,” said Stuart Solomon, executive vice president of security solutions and operations for Optiv. “Companies need help navigating the complex cybersecurity environment, mapping out the right strategy that will meet their business objectives and understanding how to best leverage their security investments to maximize value. Optiv is proud to be recognized by ALM for having the right expertise and capabilities to help clients make clarity out of the security chaos.”

In the report, ALM gave Optiv the highest-possible “best-in-class” rating in two of the nine featured capability areas. According to ALM, providers that receive a best-in-class rating “evidence deep capabilities in specific areas of cybersecurity consulting and stand out from their peers for their highly effective and often innovative consulting approaches and service delivery.” ALM states the following about Optiv in the two areas where it rated “best-in-class:”

• External market insight – “Optiv combines a broad array of cybersecurity specific assessments with its Information Security Program Dashboard, Threat Assessment and Profile, and deep knowledge of current threats, regulations and technologies to paint a complete picture of external factors, the risk posed to the client, and benchmarking.”
• Operating system – “Optiv excels at developing a holistic IT design for cybersecurity, including determining the client’s readiness for implementation and technology selection and sourcing, and incorporating efficiency and optimization techniques.”

Optiv also scored strong in the needs assessment, internal client insight, strategy, management system and client capability development categories.

The ALM Vanguard of Cybersecurity Consulting Providers report assesses 21 firms in terms of their relative ability to create impact for their clients. Firms identified as leaders in the cybersecurity consulting space are able to guide their clients from both a business and technology perspective. These providers start by aligning overall business objectives with the cybersecurity strategy and facilitate and educate the process from the board and C-suite down to the trenches. They are unique in their ability to independently execute end-to-end projects across the full spectrum of client contexts.
