But because they embed OT sensors in many of their products, they have multiple conflicting partnerships and investments in the firms that produce them. To pick the best tool to secure their manufacturing environment, without influence from their business partners, they reached out to Optiv to act as an impartial juror in the selection process.

So we conducted a survey of their team members across 28 departments, which helped us to narrow down the field of potential bidders from 15 to five. We then installed each technology into the Optiv testing laboratory to conduct an unbiased evaluation. Working together with the client team, our OT experts developed a qualitative grading system and tool evaluation process. By scoring each potential solution independently of external business partnerships, our client ultimately selected the best tool for their environment.
