-- Enables Clients to Embrace the Risk
Revolution and Fundamentally Rewrite How They Manage Cybersecurity
to Achieve Business Resilience --
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 ServiceTM,
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
ServiceTM 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
ServiceTM 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
ServiceTM 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 ServiceTM 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.
