The FBI asserts the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters could contain important information pertaining to the terrorism case, while Apple says the order would violate the First Amendment and endanger the security of all of its mobile devices.

Optiv, which was formed by the merger of Accuvant and FishNet last year, dove into vertical-focused practices last September when it launched a dedicated financial services practice.
