Accenture and SandboxAQ are expanding their partnership to help organizations strengthen data encryption and protect against current and future cyber threats, including those posed by artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing. The joint offering will provide observability across environments to increase enterprise resilience and lower impact from third-party risks. According to research from Accenture, more than half of CEOs consider the accelerated pace of technology innovation a top risk for cyberattacks, with 86% rating cyber trust and resilience in emerging technologies like generative AI and quantum computing as highly relevant for their organizations.
As part of this commitment to cryptographic excellence, Accenture is introducing a new Encryption Risk Assessment service, integrated with SandboxAQ’s AQtive Guard. The service provides clients with deep visibility into risks caused by weak cryptography before these risks have a chance to impact critical data across networks, file systems, and cloud applications. Paolo Dal Cin, global lead of Accenture Security, emphasized the importance of strong cryptography management in defending against evolving cyber threats, while Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ, highlighted the benefits of enhancing cryptography defenses in protecting sensitive data today and tomorrow.
Strengthening Data Encryption: A Critical Need for Enterprise Cybersecurity
As the pace of technology innovation accelerates, CEOs are increasingly concerned about the risk of cyberattacks, with 52% considering it a top risk and 86% rating cyber trust and resilience in emerging technologies like generative AI and quantum computing as highly relevant. This highlights the critical need for strong cryptography management to defend against evolving cyber threats.
Accenture and SandboxAQ have expanded their partnership to address this need, helping organizations secure sensitive data and strengthen encryption across their technology portfolios. The joint offering provides observability across environments, increasing enterprise resilience and lowering the impact of third-party risks. As part of an ongoing commitment to cryptographic excellence, Accenture is introducing a new Encryption Risk Assessment service, integrated with SandboxAQ’s AQtive Guard.
This service provides clients with deep visibility into risks caused by weak cryptography before they have a chance to impact critical data across networks, file systems, and cloud applications. The assessment identifies data that’s vulnerable to current and future attacks, enabling organizations to enhance their cryptography defenses. According to Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ, “As we help clients discover data that’s vulnerable to current and future attacks, there are many benefits from enhancing their cryptography defenses.”
The Importance of Quantum Security in the Face of AI-Driven Cybersecurity Attacks
The recent global outage from a single software update highlights the need for increased observability across the enterprise. As AI-driven cybersecurity attacks become more sophisticated, organizations must prioritize quantum security to protect their most sensitive data today and tomorrow. Accenture’s data protection and quantum security services are designed to help clients innovate safely, build cyber resilience, and grow with confidence.
According to Paolo, CEO of Accenture, “We combine our strength in technology and leadership in cloud, data, and AI with unmatched industry experience, functional expertise, and global delivery capability. This enables us to deliver tangible outcomes because of our broad range of services, solutions, and assets across Strategy & Consulting, Technology, Operations, Industry X, and Song.”
The Role of Cryptography Defenses in Enhancing Cybersecurity
Cryptography defenses play a critical role in enhancing cybersecurity by protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access. As the threat landscape evolves, organizations must stay ahead of potential attackers by implementing robust cryptography defenses. Accenture’s Encryption Risk Assessment service is designed to help clients identify vulnerabilities in their encryption strategies and implement effective countermeasures.
By enhancing their cryptography defenses, organizations can reduce the risk of cyberattacks, protect their reputation, and maintain customer trust. As the partnership between Accenture and SandboxAQ demonstrates, collaboration and innovation are essential in staying ahead of emerging threats and protecting sensitive data.
The Future of Cybersecurity: Innovation and Collaboration
The future of cybersecurity depends on innovation and collaboration. As technology continues to evolve, organizations must prioritize cybersecurity to protect their most valuable assets. Accenture’s commitment to cryptographic excellence and its partnership with SandboxAQ demonstrate the importance of staying ahead of emerging threats through innovation and collaboration.
By combining strengths in technology, leadership, and industry experience, organizations can deliver tangible outcomes and create 360° value for clients, each other, shareholders, partners, and communities. As the threat landscape continues to evolve, it is essential for organizations to prioritize cybersecurity, innovate safely, and build cyber resilience to grow with confidence.
