Optiv provides organizations "with comprehensive solution possibilities that meet them where they are on a journey of security and resilience" through its partner program, the company stated.

Optiv Acquires Government Cybersecurity Specialist
Previously, Optiv in March 2023 bought government cybersecurity value-added reseller (VAR) ClearShark for an undisclosed sum.
ClearShark more than doubles Optiv's federal market presence, the businesses said. It expands Optiv’s federal team, cybersecurity services and solutions, technical capabilities and federal resources. In addition, ClearShark serves as the "cornerstone" of Optiv's federal business, Optiv CEO Kevin Lynch stated.
Optiv offers cybersecurity services and solutions to nearly 6,000 organizations. The company has technology partnerships in place with more than 450 vendors.
