For our clients Our vision

What happened

A new chapter for ACT. Backed by Vobis Ventures, operating as Optiv Consulting

In June 2026, the world's largest pure-play cybersecurity company announced the sale of its Advisory, Consulting, and Transformation (ACT) business to Vobis Ventures, a global technology investment firm backing the next generation of AI-native cybersecurity.

Today, that business operates as Optiv Consulting: independent, well-capitalized, and purpose-built for the agentic AI era. For the year ahead, we remain the exclusive services partner to our former parent, continuing to deliver for the 6,000+ enterprises that have trusted this team for two decades.

Same people. Same standards. New mandate.

Where we came from

Two decades inside the industry leader.

Built as the ACT practice within the world's largest pure-play cybersecurity company, our team spent twenty years advising, designing, and operating security programs for the Fortune 500.

Where we are today

Optiv Consulting(formerly part of Optiv Security)

Carved out, capitalized, and freed to specialize. Backed by Vobis Ventures, we're the priority services partner to our former parent for the coming year, and an independent advisor to every client we serve.

Where we're headed

The advisory platform for the agentic era.

Building the independent advisory and AI governance capability that global enterprises need to adopt and defend agentic AI at scale, ahead of every threat.

Where we're going

Category defining cybersecurity services
with built-in AI governance

As enterprises move from passive AI models to autonomous agents that make and act on decisions, the security questions become fundamentally different.

We are not a generalist firm adding an "AI practice." We are not a legacy advisor retrofitting yesterday's framework for tomorrow's threats. We are founded for one reason: to help global enterprises operate, govern, and defend themselves in the agentic AI era, staying ahead of every threat.

Security governance for AI agents

As organizations deploy autonomous agents across their operations, the questions of agent identity, accountability, and human oversight become security-critical. We are building the governance frameworks and visibility infrastructure to help enterprises adopt AI agents with confidence, at scale and with control.

From reactive defense to proactive resilience

We are designing how agentic AI can transform the delivery of cybersecurity itself, introducing autonomous, intelligent, and adaptive security operations that anticipate threats rather than respond to them. This is the security architecture of the next decade.

Optiv Consulting as the foundation

Our acquisition of Optiv Consulting enables us to fast-track this vision. 500+ consultants and forward-deployed security engineers. Deep expertise across seven practice areas. An AI Center of Excellence that combines practitioner depth with the tooling and frameworks to lead enterprise AI security into its next phase.

Independent counsel at every layer

Advice that owes everything to the client and nothing to vendors. As AI reshapes what security tools exist and how they work, that independence becomes more valuable, not less.

Leadership

The team building this.

Operators, advisors, and domain specialists, each with a track record of doing this work at enterprise scale.
