Accenture announced an expansion of its strategic partnership with Google Cloud to help organizations stay ahead of escalating AI-driven cyber threats, from hyper-personalized social engineering to autonomous malware. The collaboration helps better deliver unified, intelligence-led cyber defense by combining the Google Security Operations platform and Accenture’s global cybersecurity services.
As cybercriminals weaponize advanced AI tools to bypass traditional defenses, the blind spots in fragmented multi-cloud environments have shifted from a technical challenge to a critical business liability. This collaboration provides the connective tissue between the human expertise and cloud-native technology required to move from reactive cyber defense to proactive business resilience.
"Agentic AI isn’t just reshaping cyber defense strategies, it’s redefining how we secure operations, introducing new levels of complexity for organizations protecting their businesses," said Rex Thexton, chief technology officer at Accenture Cybersecurity. "Combining the collective strengths of Google Cloud and Wiz with Accenture’s cybersecurity expertise, we are uniquely positioned to help organizations eliminate security blind spots and efficiently secure their cloud-powered digital core against the next generation of automated threats."
By deploying the Google Security Operations platform with the Accenture Cybersecurity AI Migration Factory, organizations can also accelerate SIEM transitions, reducing migration efforts while improving threat detection. These combined capabilities strengthen protections across development, deployment and runtime, helping to ensure a seamless, unified and governed cybersecurity posture for the enterprise.
Internally, Accenture’s Information Security team is also deploying Wiz across its global cloud footprint to identify and resolve risks faster, reinforcing its commitment to best-in-class cloud security and responsible AI adoption. As a long-time partner of both Wiz and Google Cloud, Accenture will be a key partner to customers as they continue to integrate their security stacks across both platforms.
“Our partnership with Accenture further strengthens our ability to deliver cloud security offerings and provide customers with a comprehensive solution,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, President, Global Partner Ecosystem at Google Cloud. “Together, we’re bringing the best in technology and services to help organizations of all sizes protect themselves from cyber threats."
Andy Ritchie, VP Worldwide Channels and Alliances at Wiz said, "Wiz helps customers protect everything they build and run, giving teams the visibility and context they need to adopt new technologies and move faster with confidence. We’re excited to work with Accenture to help more customers innovate at the speed of their business while staying secure at every stage of their cloud journey.”
Recently, Accenture was recognized as the highest Leader on the Everest Group Cloud Security Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025 out of 18 service providers.
For the third consecutive year, Accenture has been named Google Cloud Global Services Partner of the Year and won the Google Cloud Partner global award for Artificial Intelligence – Innovation and Solutions in 2025, reinforcing Accenture's work in helping clients modernize and innovate securely through Google Cloud.
