Accenture

What the company sells

Accenture sells cybersecurity services, including cyber protection offerings that embed security into digital transformation work, alongside a wider range of consulting, technology and managed services.

Accenture says digital transformation can leave businesses vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Accenture says that by embedding cybersecurity and streamlining tools, companies can protect their digital core and reduce risks. Accenture says organizations cannot find the time, money and people they need to modernize cybersecurity so it can function at speed and scale. Accenture also says cyber risks are growing faster than ever, outpacing security efforts.

Accenture's cyber protection work covers several areas. One is securing generative AI and agentic AI. Accenture says a combination of enhanced security capabilities, controls and employee education and awareness is needed. Accenture also describes embedding security at every stage of the lifecycle to protect applications, workloads, containers and cloud environments. For emerging technologies, Accenture describes mitigating their vulnerabilities to ensure safety, resiliency and sustainability.

On architecture and identity, Accenture describes integrating domains such as identity, cloud, infrastructure, network and security to increase their scalability and simplicity. Accenture describes centralizing data, control plans and endpoint protection to optimize security tools and posture. Accenture describes building an identity and access management foundation that covers enterprise and privileged access, endpoint protection and automated provisioning at scale. For enterprise platforms, Accenture says it hardens environments, protects endpoints and improves monitoring, security testing, access controls, intrusion detection, governance, risk and compliance.

Accenture states outcomes it targets: consolidating vendors and tools, retiring legacy debt and using existing licenses to reduce costs up to 30-40%; accelerating deployment up to 25-40% when replatforming applications and services in the cloud; and reducing risk from unauthorized access up to 30% through tool orchestration, automation and cybersecurity posture maintenance.

Accenture describes Cyber.AI as an agentic cybersecurity platform, powered by Anthropic, that enables organizations to strengthen their security posture at scale and speed across all cybersecurity capabilities.

Accenture also offers cloud security, which it describes as protecting data, applications and infrastructure in a cloud environment. Accenture says 41% of companies cite security risks as a major cloud barrier. Accenture's managed services material refers to operational security as-a-service, and says 88% of boards view cybersecurity as a business risk, not just an IT problem.

Accenture Human Services Suite helps modernize eligibility, benefits administration, case management, and citizen services on one connected platform. Accenture, Dragos and SANS Institute have launched a foundation to strengthen cyber defenses for under-resourced U.S utilities.^{[1][2][6][7][8][9][10][11]}
