Today, Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and SandboxAQ have announced that they are expanding their partnership to address the critical need for enterprise data encryption that can defend against current data breaches, as well as future AI and quantum threats. Together, Accenture and SandboxAQ are helping organisations secure sensitive data and strengthen encryption across their technology portfolios. The joint offering will also provide observability across environments to help increase enterprise resilience and lower impact from third party risks.
More than half (52%) 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 organisations, according to research from Accenture.
The research serves as a reminder that strong cryptography management, requiring the latest algorithms to protect systems, processes and data is a foundational pillar to defending against evolving cyber threats. As part of an ongoing 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, said: “The prevalence of generative AI, as well as expected new global post-quantum encryption standards, makes data protection absolutely critical to safeguarding confidential business information and data used to train AI foundational models or used in AI applications. The reality is that malicious actors are stealing sensitive data now, with the intention of decrypting it later using quantum comp ..
