Accenture and Microsoft Expand Collaboration on Gen-AI Cyber Solutions
According to Accenture’s State of Cyber Resilience 2025 report, the majority (90 percent) of organizations are not ready to protect against AI-augmented cyber threats. By combining Accenture’s cybersecurity services with Microsoft’s security technologies, the companies seek to help organizations protect against advanced threats through innovative cybersecurity offerings across four key areas. These include security operation center (SOC) modernization, automated data and AI security, security-centric cyber migration and consolidation, and enhanced identity and access management (IAM).
Accenture and Microsoft successfully completed a project with Nationwide Building Society (Nationwide), which has over 17 million customers in the UK, to build on its cybersecurity operations. Through a large-scale migration to Microsoft Sentinel, Nationwide achieved a streamlined, unified security infrastructure that can accelerate cyber threat detection.
David Boda, Chief Security and Resilience Officer at Nationwide, said, “In a dynamic and complex threat environment, it’s important that we continue to build on our existing cybersecurity operations to stay ahead of the game. Accenture’s support in our migration to Microsoft Sentinel has been invaluable to set us up for success. The use of generative AI to enable the migration allowed us to deliver the change more efficiently, in turn freeing up capacity for wider improvement activities.”
“We’re proud to be shaping the future of cybersecurity alongside Accenture."."
