of Advisors
OptioLabs, a security insight solution provider for the mobile
enterprise, and Ridge Global, a leader in helping organizations
become cyber resilient, today announced a strategic partnership to
bring innovative cybersecurity products and services to the market.
The partnership offers a unique marriage of both organizations’
tremendous talent pools, positioning highly talented minds in
mobile security and cyber risk management to provide a full
spectrum of cybersecurity solutions for enterprises facing global
cyber threats. In addition to the partnership, Governor Tom Ridge,
Chairman and founder of Ridge Global, joined the OptioLabs Board of
Advisors.
Bringing together some of the industry’s leading risk and
mobility security experts helps to ensure all security bases are
covered for large and mid-size enterprises looking to reduce their
risk and increase their security posture. Governor Ridge has
assembled a team of globally recognized experts who offer
clients strategic counsel on identifying, preparing for and
mitigating cyber risk. Coupled with OptioLabs’ renowned mobile
security experts, each with over 20 years of experience, this
strategic alliance introduces a comprehensive approach to combating
today’s global cyber threats.
"While there may not be a ‘silver bullet’ that can address all
of today’s growing security threats, taking a comprehensive
approach to assessing and responding to those threats is the next
best thing,” said CEO of OptioLabs, Gregg Smith. “We take the
protection of our clients’ information very seriously and have
teamed up with Ridge Global to help us stay at the cutting-edge of
innovation. The background of Ridge Global speaks for itself, and
we look forward to incorporating their expertise with our mobile
architecture to offer clients encompassing and effective security
solutions."
The pressure of dealing with cyber attacks is a constant
challenge, one that most enterprises, regardless of size, are not
equipped to handle. By combining forces, Ridge Global and OptioLabs
are able to offer an all-inclusive approach to security that
addresses everything from securing mobile environments, conducting
security testing on networks, applications and devices, cyber risk
assessments, executive education, technical training for security
personnel and cyber insurance. Organizations will now have access
to high quality security solutions that provide protection from
every angle. Further enhancing the significance of this partnership
is the agile nature of both companies which will provide customers
with rapid response in order to meet their needs.
Ridge Global is continually evaluating cybersecurity tool sets
to address evolving threats and provide clients with access to the
latest and best solutions. The company offers quick, comprehensive
risk evaluation using The Ridge MethodologyTM that is used to
develop customized plans to meet each organization’s unique needs,
to help ensure best-in-class protection, insurance,
education and incident- response services.
“At a time when mobile devices have become ubiquitous, the team
at OptioLabs has developed a mobile security architecture to keep
your data safe,” said Gov. Ridge. “Where in the past we were solely
concerned about protecting data inside the office, the reality is
more and more data is being stored on our smart phones. I was
immediately impressed with the people at OptioLabs and am delighted
to initiate this new partnership that will provide our clients with
even greater cyber resiliency.”
OptioLabs brings a new approach to data security compliance by
offering a suite of services that tackles all the various security
needs of an organization to increase its security posture. From
protecting against malware attacks and securing mobile data, to
eavesdropper prevention and demonstrating compliance, OptioLabs
allows enterprises and OEMs alike to better protect data and
privacy. Specifically, OptioLabs protects the mobile enterprise
through the combination of its OptioServices and Security Insight
Platform that enables context-sensitive threat response –
protecting enterprise data across all platforms by intelligently
correlating human behavior and digital threat patterns from
multiple sources at machine speed. Through its work with OEMs,
OptioLabs also ensures important industry standards for security
products are met prior to market launch. For more information on
