Optiv Security Acquires Conexsys

Optiv Security, a Denver-based provider of end-to-end cybersecurity solutions, has announced its acquisition of Conexsys, a Toronto-based security and networking solutions provider. The transaction allows Optiv to serve private and public entities in Canada with more local resources and immediate access to Optiv’s service offerings. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“Many Canadian organizations have magnified their investment and focus on cybersecurity but are finding it increasingly challenging to protect against the sophisticated threat landscape,” said Cheryl McGrath, Optiv’s country general manager for Canada. “Together, Optiv and Conexsys provide expansive local coverage in Canada to help organizations navigate a myriad of products and technologies, and evaluate their infrastructures and operations to develop safer, saner and more strategic paths forward.”

“Conexsys has been committed to serving the Canadian government and large Canadian companies with exceptional technical expertise and high-quality services for more than 30 years,” said Michael Yassin, president of Conexsys. “By joining Optiv, we are gaining access to a number of holistic service offerings that enable us to perform comprehensive security optimization—from strategy and planning straight through to implementation and management.”
