Mobilizing Employees To Do Good

 

Optiv has a purpose-driven mission to help our communities reach their full potential, and our work to support and inspire the next generation of cyber professionals and give back has a significant impact.

 

We push ourselves to stay current on local challenges, working with organizations to provide underserved and diverse populations with access to technology, committing our skills and time to community causes and showing up for those in need.

Supporting Cybersecurity Education

 

In our view, access to technology should never be hindered by a zip code. We believe that visibility must start early, in the classroom and through community-based organizations where we have the best opportunity to inspire curiosity and wonder. Providing students hands-on experience solving cybersecurity challenges in collaboration with Optiv professionals and cutting-edge technology tools is at the heart of hackathons we host with our partners in North America and India.

Closing Technology Gaps

As part of Giving Tuesday 2023, Optiv announced a global initiative to create four Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics STEAM Lab™ locations in Denver, Kansas City, Toronto and Bangalore to help inspire the cybersecurity talent of tomorrow.

 

To support employee volunteerism and hands-on mentorship opportunities as part of these efforts, our initial STEAM Lab investments are in locations in which a large number of our people live and work. The investments also target schools in communities that lack access to technology and resources.

Expanding Supplier Diversity

 

To meet the demands posed by a rising tide of cyber risks and promote community sustainability, Optiv frequently partners with small businesses and suppliers owned and operated by women, veterans and other underrepresented groups.

 

We survey our suppliers each year, asking them to self-classify and provide documentation to support possible participation with Optiv.
