Optiv today launched Optiv Agentic Security Operations to modernize managed cyber defense. Formerly known as Optiv MDR, this breakthrough model combines disparate tooling, detection, response, and practitioner expertise.
Moreover, through the service, Google Security Operations is used to continuously assess, prioritize, and remediate enterprise cyber risks. Thus, enterprises will be able to take action on their exposures before bad actors get to leverage them.
The solution involves using Google Security Operations in combination with Google Threat Intelligence to analyze security telemetry in the cloud. Besides, the architecture includes Wiz Cloud, Wiz Code, and Wiz Defend within one console.
The extensive context enables people and autonomous machines to see everything related to their assets. Therefore, SOC teams can perform complete lifecycle risk remediation with ease.

The traditional models of managed security often have a hard time dealing with fast-paced AI-powered threats. On the other hand, through Optiv Agentic Security Operations, agentic AI is used to analyze alerts and identify exposure.
Thus, it becomes easier for people to cut down manual tasks and conduct better investigations. Also, through telemetry, context is added to facilitate defense.
“When organizations can identify risk earlier and respond faster, security becomes a business enabler,” said Kathryn Hall, Optiv’s senior vice president of services. “Optiv Agentic Security Operations represents the next evolution of managed security services, combining the strength of our Google Security Operations and Wiz collaboration with AI, automation and human expertise to help clients proactively reduce cyber risk and continuously strengthen their security posture.”
“Our work with Optiv is about turning advanced technology into immediate business value. By combining Google Security Operations and Wiz into a single managed offering, we are making it seamless for enterprises to scale their defenses and confidently navigate the AI era,” said David Smith, head of global channels and programs, Google Cloud.
Rather than reacting solely to isolated events, practitioner guidance remains central to Optiv’s strategy. Human analysts conduct detailed follow-on investigations to surface actionable intelligence across all integrated systems.
Therefore, clients compress years of capability building, instantly upgrading to a proactive security posture.
“Optiv plays a key role in our partner ecosystem, helping organizations deploy and maximize the value of Wiz across their cloud environments. By expanding our collaboration alongside Google Cloud, we’re bringing the power of Wiz and Google Security Operations directly into Optiv’s agentic workflows. Together, we’re helping customers reduce risk and innovate at the speed of the AI era,” said Andy Ritchie, head of worldwide channels and alliances, Wiz.
“AI is fundamentally changing the speed of cyber conflict, giving attackers unprecedented scale and velocity,” said Ben Spencer, product director, Optiv. “Organizations need security operations that can move just as quickly and see risk the way attackers do, from initial exposure all the way through remediation. Our evolved service empowers organizations to move beyond reactive alert monitoring to a connected, continuously improving security operations program that accelerates response while keeping experienced security practitioners in control.”
Ultimately, this unified service empowers businesses to scale defenses confidently while navigating complex cloud ecosystems. By deploying Google Security Operations within agentic workflows, Optiv sets a modern standard for proactive enterprise protection.
