Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has agreed to acquire CyberCX, a privately-owned cybersecurity services provider serving private and public sector organizations across Australia, New Zealand and internationally.
The move represents Accenture’s largest cybersecurity “acquisition to date and will bolster Accenture’s cybersecurity services in Asia Pacific.”
It will further expand Accenture’s position in the region, enhancing its ability to build business resilience, “protect critical infrastructure and drive secure enterprise reinvention amidst an increasingly complex regulatory and threat landscape.”
Established in Melbourne, Australia in 2019, CyberCX is “one of the largest and most prominent cybersecurity firms in the Asia Pacific region with a highly skilled workforce of approximately 1,400 professionals.”
The company’s end-to-end services extend “across consulting, transformation and managed security services and include advanced capabilities in offensive security and cyber physical security, crisis management, threat intelligence, managed detection and response, as well as strategic advisory, identity, cloud and network security.”
CyberCX operates a network of “security operations centers across Australia and New Zealand, with additional offices in London and New York, combining deep local insight with international reach.”
Additionally, CyberCX brings AI-powered platforms “that deliver cybersecurity services including detection and response, sovereign secure cloud, CyberCX Academy for training and learning as well as proprietary tools for security testing and cyber intelligence.”
This strategic move is timely given Accenture’s recent State of Cybersecurity Resilience 2025 report, which found “that 97% of Australian organizations are not adequately prepared to secure their AI-driven future, with 80% lacking the critical data and AI cybersecurity practices needed to protect models, data pipelines and cloud infrastructure.”
CyberCX has established ecosystem partnerships “across major cybersecurity players such as Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike, consistently winning awards as one of the top managed service and system integrators in the region.”
This “success” is said to be underpinned by “extensive expertise, showcased through over 2,600 certifications.”
The acquisition of CyberCX will be the latest in a series of “strategic moves by Accenture to expand its cybersecurity capabilities and solutions.”
Since 2015, Accenture has completed 20 security acquisitions, “including most recently acquiring Morphus, MNEMO Mexico and Innotec Security.”
Terms of the transaction were “not disclosed.”
Completion of the acquisition is subject to “customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.”
