Optiv
Security, the nation’s largest holistic pure-play cyber security
solutions provider, today announced that Inc. magazine has named
Optiv’s predecessor businesses – Accuvant and FishNet Security – amongst
the fastest growing U.S. private companies for a three-year period
ending Dec. 31, 2014. The 34th annual Inc. 5000 marks the
ninth consecutive year for Accuvant’s inclusion on the exclusive
ranking, an honor marked by only 97 companies since the listing’s
inception, and the fifth time overall that FishNet Security has been
included, which only 318 companies have achieved.
In 2014, Accuvant realized gross revenue of nearly $734 million with a
three-year growth rate of 114 percent, while FishNet Security realized
$779 million in revenue with an 85 percent three-year growth rate.
”Cyber security is a serious corporate risk affecting companies of all
sizes and all industries. Most companies don’t have enough skilled cyber
experts on staff and are challenged to find the right resources to help
them adequately address their unique security concerns,” said Optiv
chief executive officer Dan Burns. “This recognition underscores
Accuvant’s and FishNet Security’s long and successful histories, which
were built on innovation and putting clients first. Together, as Optiv,
we have the combined strength to even better serve our clients at a time
when our services have never been more needed. Our unique ability to
deliver security programs that combine products and services, people,
processes, strategies and tactics allows us to tightly partner with our
clients, assemble the right solution for their specific needs, and apply
it to their business priorities.”
"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In
an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something
extraordinary to take your company to the top,” said Inc.
president and editor-in-chief Eric Schurenberg.
Methodology
The 2015 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when
comparing 2011 to 2014. To qualify, companies must have been founded and
generating revenue by March 31, 2011. They had to be U.S.-based,
privately held, for profit, and independent--not subsidiaries or
divisions of other companies--as of December 31, 2014. (Since then, a
number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The
minimum revenue required for 2011 is $100,000; the minimum for 2014 is
$2 million.
