NEW YORK and MELBOURNE — Accenture recently acquired CyberCX, a leading cybersecurity services provider in the Asia-Pacific region, marking the company’s largest cybersecurity investment to date.
It repositions the company as a leading provider, reinforcing its commitment to delivering end-to-end business resilience, critical infrastructure protection, and secure enterprise reinvention.
CyberCX’s acquisition is a timely response to Accenture’s State of Cybersecurity Resilience 2025 report, which mentioned that 97% of Australian organizations lack security, with 80% missing critical data and cybersecurity practices. CyberCX brings its expertise in threat intelligence, managed security services, and incident response, expanding Accenture’s ability to safeguard its clients against cyber risk and threats.
CyberCX and Accenture share a mission to harness the power of cyber to help clients securely navigate change, accelerate business reinvention, and build resilience against evolving threats.
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.

The Acquisition’s Strategic Impact
This enhances Accenture’s ability to support its clients’ responses to regulatory demands in sectors such as BPO and IT, which manage sensitive data across borders.
This sets a new benchmark for cybersecurity integration within the outsourcing industry, where security is a differentiator. With Accenture leading this movement, the company strengthens its position as a leader in cybersecurity services, complementing its focus on security platforms and AI-driven managed services.
We are immensely proud of the business we have built, becoming one of the leading providers of cybersecurity services in the region. Joining Accenture’s global cybersecurity organization enables our exceptional people to combine forces with global capabilities and provide world-leading cybersecurity services to an even greater number of clients across Asia Pacific as we accelerate our growth in the region. Our shared mission for helping clients stay ahead of emerging threats and build resilience makes this a force multiplier.
— John Paitaridis, CyberCX’s CEO
