Optiv launches Agentic Security Operations with Google, Wiz integrations

By Atlas Watchline Staff · Corporate · August 5, 2026

Optiv said it has reworked its managed security service into Optiv Agentic Security Operations, combining Google Security Operations, Google Threat Intelligence and Wiz tools.

Optiv said Aug. 5 that it has launched Optiv Agentic Security Operations, a new managed security model that combines agentic AI, Google Security Operations, Google Threat Intelligence and Wiz integration. The company said the service was formerly known as Optiv MDR and is designed to help customers identify, evaluate, prioritize and remediate cyber risks before they are exploited.

Optiv said the model is intended to reduce manual work, improve visibility and help organizations move beyond reactive alert monitoring.

In the release, Optiv said Google Security Operations and Google Threat Intelligence will be used to detect, investigate and respond to threats. It also said the tools operate at Google speed and scale. Optiv said Wiz is deeply integrated into the model through Wiz Cloud, Wiz Code and Wiz Defend.

According to the company, Wiz Cloud continuously identifies and prioritizes cloud exposures, misconfigurations and attack paths. Wiz Code assesses risks across code and CI/CD, the software delivery process used to move code from development into production. Wiz Defend provides real-time cloud detection and response. Optiv said those signals are brought into one console and into its agentic workflows so practitioners and AI agents can see assets, exposures and business impact together.

The company said the service is designed for enterprises at different security maturity levels and aims to support an AI-ready security operations posture. Optiv also said it will be at Black Hat 2026 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, at Booth #2448.

The release included comments from company and partner executives. Kathryn Hall, senior vice president of services at Optiv, said the offering combines Google Security Operations and Wiz collaboration with AI, automation and human expertise. David Smith, head of global channels and programs at Google Cloud, said the companies are combining Google Security Operations and Wiz into a single managed offering. Andy Ritchie, head of worldwide channels and alliances at Wiz, said the collaboration is intended to help customers reduce risk and innovate at the speed of the AI era. Ben Spencer, a product director at Optiv, said AI is changing the speed of cyber conflict and gives attackers unprecedented scale and velocity.

Optiv said it serves more than 6,000 clients across financial services, health care, government, energy and retail. The company did not provide pricing or say when customers will be able to buy the updated service.
