Vobis Ventures Acquires
Optiv's Advisory, Consulting,
and Transformation Business
Establishes Exclusive Services Partnership
The Advisory, Consulting, and Transformation (ACT) practice, carved out from the world's largest pure-play cybersecurity company, now operates as Optiv Consulting (formerly part of Optiv Security). Backed by Vobis Ventures, it forms the cornerstone of a cybersecurity services business purpose-built for the agentic AI era, empowering global enterprises to adopt agentic AI at scale, securely and responsibly.
Our story
If you worked with our Advisory, Consulting, and Transformation (ACT) business, welcome.
The consultants you trust, the disciplines you rely on, and the advisory standards you value remain the same. What's new is our ambition: to build a long-term, category-defining cybersecurity brand that enterprises trust to deploy autonomous AI securely at scale and stay ahead of every threat.
The quarter-of-a-trillion-dollar cybersecurity industry is undergoing the biggest shift in its history. The enterprise security playbook is being rewritten in real time. For three decades, cybersecurity has been engineered around a single assumption: a human is in the loop. Every framework, every control, every audit was built on that foundation. Agentic AI dismantles it.

What we do
Our practice spans more than 200+ services.
AI Security & Governance
For organizations that need to govern AI as a security problem, not just a technology decision.
Risk & Compliance
For CISOs and boards who need an honest assessment of where they stand.
Identity & Access
Identity is the primary attack surface. We treat it accordingly.
Data Security & Privacy
Data and privacy governance integrated into one program, not stitched after a breach.
Program Management
vCISO support, board reporting, and roadmap discipline for security leaders.
Cyber Resilience & IR
Preparedness, response, and recovery for the incidents you can't prevent.
Cloud Security
Security designed into how cloud workloads are built and operated, not bolted on later.
What sets us apart
Structural independence is what makes independent advisory worth having.
AI-native from the ground up
Every practice. Every practitioner. Every engagement. Built for the agentic AI era, not retrofitted to it.
Enterprise-scale depth
800+ clients served · 25% of the Fortune 500. Practitioners from Deloitte, EY, Accenture, IBM Security, FBI, and DHS.
Independent advisory counsel
We don't sell technology. We don't run managed services. No vendor relationships shape what we recommend. Our only stake is the quality of the advice.
Global delivery across US, Canada, India
500+ consultants and forward-deployed engineers embedded with clients. AI-assisted delivery management across every engagement.
Quality and risk managed throughout. Not reviewed after the fact. Because in the agentic AI era, a post-delivery audit isn't a safety net. It's a liability.
