Accenture Expands Cybersecurity Presence with Acquisition of CyberCX in Asia-Pacific Region

Accenture has acquired CyberCX, a major cybersecurity services provider in Australia and New Zealand, to boost its Asia-Pacific cybersecurity capabilities. The deal marks Accenture's largest-ever cybersecurity acquisition, enhancing its capabilities and strengthening its position in the region. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Accenture has announced the acquisition of CyberCX, a leading cybersecurity services provider based in Australia and New Zealand. The deal, which represents Accenture's largest cybersecurity acquisition to date, aims to bolster its cybersecurity capabilities and strengthen its position in the Asia-Pacific region [1].

Established in Melbourne, Australia, in 2019, CyberCX is known for its highly skilled workforce of approximately 1,400 professionals and its end-to-end services, including consulting, transformation, and managed security services. The company's expertise extends to advanced capabilities in offensive security, cyber physical security, threat intelligence, and cloud security. CyberCX operates advanced security operations centers across Australia and New Zealand, with additional offices in London and New York, combining local insight with international reach [1].

The acquisition will integrate CyberCX's innovative AI-powered platforms into Accenture's global cybersecurity organization, enhancing its ability to provide world-leading cybersecurity services. This strategic move is timely, given Accenture's recent report indicating that 97% of Australian organizations are not adequately prepared to secure their AI-driven future [1].

Accenture's global lead for cybersecurity, Paolo Dal Cin, stated, "CyberCX and Accenture share a mission to harness the power of cyber to help our clients securely navigate change and build resilience against evolving threats." The combination of Accenture's agentic AI capabilities and CyberCX's strong market leadership and trusted relationships with government and critical infrastructure organizations will enable clients across Asia Pacific to transform cybersecurity into a strategic advantage [1].

The acquisition is part of a series of strategic moves by Accenture to expand its cybersecurity capabilities. Since 2015, Accenture has completed 20 security acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of Morphus, MNEMO Mexico, and Innotec Security [1].

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Forward-looking statements indicate potential risks, including the ability to close the transaction, achieve anticipated benefits, and manage various operational and market uncertainties [1].
