Cybersecurity Ventures Names Optiv Security One of the World’s Hottest and Most Innovative Cybersecurity Companies

DENVER--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Optiv Security , the world’s leading security solutions integrator, today announced that Cybersecurity Ventures has named it as one of the world’s hottest and most innovative cybersecurity companies. Optiv secured the number 21 ranking on the 2018 Cybersecurity 500 list based on factors such as clients, corporate growth, notable implementations and problems solved by company solutions. .@Optiv named one of the world’s hottest and most innovative #cybersecurity companies by @CybersecuritySF. #Cybersecurity500 Tweet this “Over the past year, Optiv has significantly grown its global presence, strengthened its executive leadership team, and added to its product and services portfolio, all of which have contributed to our impressive placement on the 2018 Cybersecurity 500 list,” said Dan Burns, Optiv’s chief executive officer. “But, our unique inside-out approach to cybersecurity is what truly differentiates us from competitors and has enabled us to be so successful. Rather than allowing external factors like the constantly shifting threat landscape dictate security spending and strategy, Optiv focuses first on balancing business requirements with enterprise risk. From there, we help our clients build sustainable and proactive security programs designed to rationalize infrastructure, optimize operations and prioritize measurement. In an age of massively complex infrastructures, advanced threats and a severe skills shortage, this model empowers our clients to simplify security while gaining the clarity and assurance they need to effectively manage risk now and in the future.” Optiv’s inside-out approach provides clients with a number of compelling business benefits, including: Right-Sized Technology Spending - Optiv works with clients to help them rationalize technology infrastructure by understanding their risk models, and then applying reference architectures to guide the mix of technology tools and services. This often results in reduced technology spending and operations costs, while strengthening overall security posture. Optimized Operations - Once enterprises rationalize their infrastructure, they can make informed staffing decisions for managing that infrastructure. To date, security remains the only element of IT that has not undergone widespread business-process optimization – Optiv’s inside-out approach is designed to bring security in line with other areas of IT with predictable and measurable operational processes. Future-Proof Security - Optiv’s inside-out approach enables clients to build a sustainable, risk-centric foundation for implementing proactive and measurable security programs. This approach is intended to create a superior platform for addressing current threats, and also to provide security organizations with the ability to effectively assess and address future threats, so they can take appropriate action to maintain the proper risk posture. Business Alignment - By rationalizing infrastructure and optimizing operations, Optiv enables security organizations to focus more time on strategic business objectives and less time on never-ending fire drills. This allows the security organization to become involved in key business initiatives at an earlier stage, which is intended to empower enterprises to seize new business opportunities without introducing undue risk.

Security company in Bellevue vandalized

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) - An Omaha home security company based out of Bellevue is using its own camera to help track down a thief who stole items from outside their building. Chris Malmberg, the owner of Omaha Security Systems Inc. says an unidentified man stole nearly $300 worth of landscaping Sunday night. "The motion sensors went off and I got a notification on my phone that he was there. We saw him take the plants, we watched him drive away and then immediately contacted police," said Malmberg. "He was real nervous, but he ended up stealing shrubbery, Hosta plants, I mean - never in my life have I ever known somebody to steal landscaping." Malmberg said the plants could be replaced, but what's frustrating is that this is one of several vandalism incidents his business has experienced since OSSI moved into the building near Jefferson and Mission Ave. "We've had vandalism, we've had items stolen, or attempted to be stolen, with the security that we...

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices. Parks Associates also found that the majority of homeowners assume security integrators are addressing their cybersecurity concerns. In fact, a Parks Associates survey of U.S. security owners found 63% of professionally monitored subscribers believe the wireless signals from their system are encrypted, even though encryption is currently not the industry-wide standard. While the whitepaper outlines a few ...

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system. Ring Alarm doesn’t support smart lighting controls, door locks, thermostats, garage-door openers, or other common smart home products today, and there’s a very short list of supported third-party products. But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...
