View company profile

The story of Optiv + ClearShark is one of strategic evolution, born from the union of two formidable forces in the cybersecurity landscape. In March 2023, a significant chapter was written when Optiv, a globally recognized cyber advisory and solutions leader, acquired ClearShark, a company that had carved out a niche as a premier advisor and top value-added reseller of cybersecurity and modernization technology to the U.S. federal government. This acquisition was more than a simple business transaction; it was the dawn of a new federal powerhouse. The move was a deliberate and strategic step by Optiv to more than double its federal presence, significantly deepening its bench of government-focused expertise and expanding the breadth of its capabilities to serve the unique and complex needs of the public sector. The formation of Optiv + ClearShark marked the creation of a dedicated entity singularly focused on a critical mission: to make the government more secure.

This new chapter, led by President Daniel Wilbricht, builds upon the strong foundation and mission-focused, results-driven growth strategy previously architected by ClearShark's leadership. The combined entity harnesses Optiv's extensive resources and broad cybersecurity expertise with ClearShark's deep-seated knowledge and relationships within the federal landscape. The journey of Optiv + ClearShark is a direct response to a challenging moment in history, where federal agencies and their contractors face an ever-expanding attack surface due to digital transformation, a highly sophisticated threat landscape, and an increasing volume of cybersecurity regulations. By flipping the traditional script and investing heavily in engineering talent, the company is uniquely positioned to tackle the most unsolvable cybersecurity problems. With a curated portfolio of technology solutions and a vast ecosystem of over 450 vendor partners, Optiv + ClearShark is not just a solutions provider but a dedicated partner, guiding federal agencies through their most critical missions and ensuring they can unleash the full potential of technology to serve the nation securely and effectively.
