Optiv Security, the nation’s largest holistic pure-play cyber
security solutions provider, today announced that Inc. magazine has
named Optiv’s predecessor businesses – Accuvant and FishNet
Security – amongst the fastest growing U.S. private companies for a
three-year period ending Dec. 31, 2014. The 34th annual Inc. 5000
marks the ninth consecutive year for Accuvant’s inclusion on the
exclusive ranking, an honor marked by only 97 companies since the
listing’s inception, and the fifth time overall that FishNet
Security has been included, which only 318 companies have
achieved.
In 2014, Accuvant realized gross revenue of nearly $734 million
with a three-year growth rate of 114 percent, while FishNet
Security realized $779 million in revenue with an 85 percent
three-year growth rate.
”Cyber security is a serious corporate risk affecting companies
of all sizes and all industries. Most companies don’t have enough
skilled cyber experts on staff and are challenged to find the right
resources to help them adequately address their unique security
concerns,” said Optiv chief executive officer Dan Burns. “This
recognition underscores Accuvant’s and FishNet Security’s long and
successful histories, which were built on innovation and putting
clients first. Together, as Optiv, we have the combined strength to
even better serve our clients at a time when our services have
never been more needed. Our unique ability to deliver security
programs that combine products and services, people, processes,
strategies and tactics allows us to tightly partner with our
clients, assemble the right solution for their specific needs, and
apply it to their business priorities.”
"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great
leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it
takes something extraordinary to take your company to the
top,” said Inc. president and editor-in-chief Eric
Schurenberg.
Methodology
The 2015 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue
growth when comparing 2011 to 2014. To qualify, companies must have
been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2011. They had to
be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent--not
subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of December 31,
2014. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone
public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2011 is
$100,000; the minimum for 2014 is $2 million.
