Presented at this year’s RSA Conference, the Global InfoSec Awards honor information security innovators from around the world. With more than 30 years of strategic, operating and technology experience, Kevin Lynch has been at Optiv’s helm since 2020, guiding the company through a perfect storm of challenges in the cybersecurity industry. Under Lynch’s leadership, Optiv has evolved from a technology reseller and security solutions integrator to the largest pure-play cybersecurity company in the world. Released in June 2022, Optiv’s CRS is designed to drive partnerships among cybersecurity, IT, BC/DR, operations and business leaders, so everyone is collectively working toward achieving cyber resilience. It identifies business- and mission-critical assets and secures them in an environment that is isolated from threats to enable rapid recovery to a secure state. This combination empowers organizations to build a proactive cyber resilience framework that allows them to protect, detect, respond, recover and get back to business faster during any type of data loss event. “At Optiv, we work tirelessly to secure greatness for our clients, partners, people and communities,” said Lynch. “It’s an honor for our important mission to be recognized by the Global InfoSec Awards as we continue meeting clients where they are on a journey of security and resilience.” This is the 11th annual Global InfoSec Awards from Cyber Defense Magazine, a premier source of cybersecurity news and information for security professions in business and government. “Optiv embodies three major features the judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, publisher of CDM. For the latest news and updates from Optiv, visit optiv.com/newsroom/.
