OptioLabs, a security insight solution provider for the mobile enterprise, and Ridge Global, a leader in helping organizations become cyber resilient, announced a strategic partnership to bring innovative cybersecurity products and services to the market.
The partnership offers a unique marriage of both organizations’ tremendous talent pools, positioning highly talented minds in mobile security and cyber risk management to provide a full spectrum of cybersecurity solutions for enterprises facing global cyber threats. In addition to the partnership, Governor Tom Ridge, Chairman and founder of Ridge Global, joined the OptioLabs Board of Advisors.
Bringing together some of the industry’s leading risk and mobility security experts helps to ensure all security bases are covered for large and mid-size enterprises looking to reduce their risk and increase their security posture. Governor Ridge has assembled a team of globally recognized experts who offer clients strategic counsel on identifying, preparing for and mitigating cyber risk.
Coupled with OptioLabs’ renowned mobile security experts, each with over 20 years of experience, this strategic alliance introduces a comprehensive approach to combating today’s global cyber threats.
"While there may not be a ‘silver bullet’ that can address all of today’s growing security threats, taking a comprehensive approach to assessing and responding to those threats is the next best thing,” said CEO of OptioLabs, Gregg Smith. “We take the protection of our clients’ information very seriously and have teamed up with Ridge Global to help us stay at the cutting-edge of innovation. The background of Ridge Global speaks for itself, and we look forward to incorporating their expertise with our mobile architecture to offer clients encompassing and effective security solutions."
The pressure of dealing with cyber attacks is a constant challenge, one that most enterprises, regardless of size, are not equipped to handle. By combining forces, Ridge Global and OptioLabs are able to offer an all-inclusive approach to security that addresses everything from securing mobile environments, conducting security testing on networks, applications and devices, cyber risk assessments, executive education, technical training for security personnel and cyber insurance.
Organizations will now have access to high quality security solutions that provide protectionfrom every angle. Further enhancing the significance of this partnership is the agile nature of both companies which will provide customers with rapid response in order to meet their needs. Ridge Global is continually evaluating cybersecurity tool sets to address evolving threats and provide clients with access to the latest and best solutions.
The company offers quick, comprehensive risk evaluation using The Ridge Methodology that is used to develop customized plans to meet each organization’s unique needs, to help ensure best-in-class protection, insurance, education and incident- response services.
“At a time when mobile devices have become ubiquitous, the team at OptioLabs has developed a mobile security architecture to keep your data safe,” said Gov. Ridge. “Where in the past we were solely concerned about protecting data inside the office, the reality is more and more data is being stored on our smart phones. I was immediately impressed with the people at OptioLabs and am delighted to initiate this new partnership that will provide our clients with even greater cyber resiliency.”
