Accenture has announced that it will acquire Australian cybersecurity firm CyberCX, one of the largest cybersecurity firms in the Asia-Pacific region. This acquisition, Accenture’s largest cybersecurity acquisition to date, will significantly bolster the company’s capabilities and increase clients’ resilience.
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.
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 and Accenture share a mission to harness the power of cyber to help our clients securely navigate change, accelerate business reinvention and build resilience against evolving threats,” said Paolo Dal Cin, global lead, Accenture Cybersecurity. “By combining Accenture’s agentic AI capabilities with CyberCX’s strong market leadership, innovative offerings and trusted C-suite and government relationships, we will enable clients across Asia Pacific to transform cybersecurity into a strategic advantage.”
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
