Download the Identity Security Solution Brief Image The Broken Road to Identity Security Federal agencies have invested in identity management tools for years — but many still: Image Fail pen tests and red team exercises Image Struggle to pass audits Image Face rising costs with limited budgets and staff Image Can’t demonstrate ROI from past identity investments The result: leadership frustration, stalled modernization efforts, and persistent exposure to privilege compromise. The problem isn’t lack of effort — it’s an ownership gap between compliance-focused CIOs and security-focused CISOs, combined with legacy solutions that weren’t designed for today’s cloud-driven, threat-heavy environments. Optiv + ClearShark brings a cybersecurity-centric view on identity — closing gaps, streamlining operations, and ensuring your identity program delivers on its mission.
