If you look at Casey's post below, you'll see three +'s. We couldn't think of a better example of #WhatsInThePlus at Optiv + ClearShark: 🦾 Strong partnerships that drive results 🙏 Dedicated teamwork to achieve our goals 🏦 Delivering mission success for our government customers BeyondTrust Carahsoft #FederalCybersecurity #Teamwork #MissionSuccess
Optiv + ClearShark + Carahsoft + BeyondTrust “Call Blitz Day” was a success! 👏🏽👏🏽 By acting as one team we were able to spend the day engaged with Federal clients and set up meetings to discuss how BeyondTrust’s platform can support their Zero Trust framework and address their Identity and Access Management (IAM/ICAM/PAM) needs, while Optiv + ClearShark can help deliver our solutions and be that trusted advisor focused on overall mission success. One team, one dream! Better together! Thankful for this partnership! 🫱🏼🫲🏽 Thank you to all of those who were involved! 🏒Matt McVay🏈 / 🚴 Jeffrey Beltran 🏎️ / Brennon Kaleiwahea / Keith Yi / David E.
