Technology-Enabled Service Allows Optiv
Clients to Develop Proactive Security Models, Better Define Cyber
Risk and Rapidly Mitigate Threats
Optiv Security, a market-leading provider of end-to-end cyber
security solutions, today announced the general availability of its
cyber threat intelligence-as-a-service offering. Delivered by
Optiv’s dedicated team of cyber threat intelligence and security
experts, this new technology-enabled service is powered by a
cutting-edge technology platform from IntSights, a leading
intelligence-driven security provider for cyber threats. The
combination of Optiv’s extensive cyber security consulting
expertise and IntSights’ technology helps organizations monitor for
threats beyond the traditional network perimeter and provides them
with focused, prioritized and actionable intelligence. As a result,
companies can create informed, proactive security policies, more
accurately define cyber risk and rapidly mitigate identified
threats.
“The ever-changing threat landscape makes it increasingly
difficult for organizations to stay ahead of the curve and better
understand, prepare for and respond to cyber threats,” said
Christina Richmond, program director, security services, IDC. “Most
companies lack the necessary resources and expertise to create and
operate a mature security strategy and program that incorporates
cyber threat intelligence. To be successful, organizations should
look for a trusted partner that has the know-how and ability to
help develop these capabilities and provide the necessary support
for them.”
When delivering Optiv’s cyber threat intelligence-as-a-service
on a 24x7 basis, Optiv’s team of consultants:
- Develop cyber threat intelligence
requirements and programmatic strategies, and identify related key
monitoring strategies to enable a comprehensive managed cyber
threat intelligence program.
- Use IntSights’ fully automated threat
data collection and analytics platform to help monitor carefully
cultivated intelligence requirements for indications of
exploitations discovered on the clear, deep and dark web.
- Leverage Optiv’s proprietary tools,
processes, analytical rigor and best practices to help clients
develop, implement and operate proactive security models.
- Focus efforts on threat investigation
rather than threat searches, enabling clients to take a more
targeted approach with their security investigations and better
identify cyber threats that pose a real risk to the business.
- Prioritize alerts regarding a client’s
adversaries’ tactics, techniques and procedures, centered on
client-defined assets and requirements.
- Enable clients to more quickly respond
to current or potential attacks through one-click proactive
reporting, actionable analysis, detailed remediation guidance; as
well as provide automated remediation at the source through the
removal of malicious sites, social media accounts and other forms
of malicious content.
- Help clients gain a decision advantage
by enhancing visibility into externally validated threats which
directly affect a client’s business, customers, brand, executives
or physical location.
“Today most companies take a completely reactive approach to
cyber security, but identifying when and how your organization may
be attacked by a cyber threat requires a more proactive strategy,”
said Stu Solomon, Optiv’s senior vice president, security solutions
and operations. “Optiv is unique because we bring together a
combination of people, process and technology that helps clients
assess their threat landscape and maturity level before
implementing a cyber threat intelligence program that better
detects, analyzes and remediates threats in real-time.”
“IntSights uses innovative intelligence sourcing and gathering
methods to mine and aggregate data from a range of open and closed
sources, resulting in the rapid curation of highly reliable
intelligence which has the potential to be highly actionable,” said
Guy Nizan, IntSight’s CEO. “We are excited to have Optiv’s
experienced team of cyber threat intelligence and security experts
leverage this intelligence through our cutting-edge platform. Optiv
has a proven track record of helping companies solve their toughest
security problems, and we are proud to support their efforts to
deliver a comprehensive cyber threat intelligence solution to their
clients.”
Optiv’s cyber threat intelligence suite of services helps
organizations plan, build and run their cyber threat intelligence
function. Through its cyber threat intelligence-as-a-service,
program workshops and consulting services, Optiv can help enhance a
client’s security operations by defining an organization-specific
cyber threat landscape tailored to the unique business environment.

native and peripheral sources, allowing clients to take immediate
action.
