— Enables Clients to Embrace the Risk Revolution and Fundamentally
Rewrite How They Manage Cybersecurity to Achieve Business Resilience —

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cybersecurity?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Cybersecuritylt;/agt;–Most organizations conduct annual risk assessments, identify gaps, and
receive recommendations for how to remediate those gaps. But many lack
the resources to follow through on planning and operationalization.
Based on strategies developed or assessments performed, many
organizations know what to do but often not how to do it. Optiv
Security, the world’s leading security solutions integrator, today
announced its new Risk Transformation Service^TM, an
end-to-end solution that includes strategy execution.

Designed to enable clients around the world to better evaluate current
risk against acceptable risk, Optiv’s Risk Transformation Service^TM
helps clients develop strategies that drive cohesive cybersecurity
programs, execute on those strategies to mitigate enterprise risk, and
achieve measurable outcomes. The service puts business strategy and risk
at the heart of cyber decision-making with two distinct options:

• The Enterprise Risk Transformation Service^TM
  helps organizations execute on risk transformation based on business
  objectives, results of an existing strategy or assessment, and a list
  of desired improvements or future mode of operation. This service
  includes program management, quality assurance and oversight over all
  or parts of a transformation or remediation initiative.
• The Quickstart Risk Transformation Service^TM
  enables mid-sized organizations to get started with a risk-centric
  model for cybersecurity and aids them in the first steps of execution
  of their transformation roadmap. Optiv helps these clients set and
  execute a strategy, engaging with them from start to finish.

“Organizations today are adopting new risk and compliance principles to
achieve business resilience,” said Dustin Owens, Optiv’s vice president,
risk advisory. “As IT risk management evolves to more holistic
operational risk management, it is being integrated into the fabric of
organizations. This means that security teams are now a critical
component to the overall business risk strategy.”

Owens continued, “As a result, adaptive, risk-based decision-making is
becoming core to business agility and resilience, taking over from the
antiquated check-the-box, compliance-based approach of the past. It’s
high time for companies to embrace the risk revolution. They need to
take a stance against the outside-in approach – which is predicated on
continuously responding to legislative and regulatory requirements,
specific threats, and other outside factors – and rewrite how they
manage cybersecurity by proactively addressing all aspects of
cybersecurity risk, including privacy
and governance, cyber resilience, and risk optimization.”

Optiv’s new Risk Transformation Service^TM is part of the
company’s complete continuum of fully integrated cybersecurity risk
services, which are focused on resolving three prevalent business issues:

• The need for risk governance – Optiv helps clients understand
  where critical assets are located, why they are important, how they
  are protected and who has access; and as these variables change, how
  their risk profile changes. This enables organizations to make
  security decisions based on risk so they can move faster, safely.
• Volume and velocity of change – Optiv allows clients to embrace
  the fast pace of digital transformation initiatives and deal with
  constant operational chaos simultaneously by helping them execute
  adaptive cyber
  resilience capabilities.
• Articulating security health to the business and board – Optiv
  provides security teams with everything they need to articulate risk
  and security performance in business terms by enabling them to
  effectively measure, monitor and report on security posture and align
  security to business objectives. This allows security teams to
  influence better decision-making and improve overall business health.
