Recently, Frost & Sullivan assessed the managed and professional security services industry and, based on its findings, recognized Optiv with the 2023 Americas MSS & PSS Competitive Strategy Leadership Award. The company has carved out a significant portion of the highly competitive market by delivering end-to-end, comprehensive security and support. It offers world-class services and solutions that cover most businesses’ cybersecurity needs, showcasing its understanding of the state of the market and global trends. Optiv delivers high-end managed services such as MDR, SIEM, EDR, and IAM supported by an extensive partner ecosystem. It also provides a wide variety of professional services, including:

Optiv’s success in the managed and professional security services market stems from its ‘combined arms’ strategy. The company leverages telemetry and visibility from its MSS offering to analyze high-risk areas, vulnerabilities, or other issues.
“We take full advantage of our wide breadth of professional services and consulting engagements to enhance security resilience, avoid tool redundancy, optimize security strategies and improve client business outcomes,” said Jason Lewkowicz, Optiv’s chief services officer. “This award validates the strength, flexibility and value of our Advise, Deploy, Operate model for clients.”
