According to recent Accenture research, executives’ top concern
for 2024 is the ability to adapt to advancements in technology and
innovations such as AI. This is notable because cybercriminals are
using AI-enabled tools to advance ransomware attacks, obtain user
passwords and spear phish employees. To fend off these attacks,
enterprises are transitioning to a zero-trust architecture, which
requires strong cryptographic management.
Together, Accenture and SandboxAQ will provide comprehensive
AI-enabled cryptographic management leveraging SandboxAQ’s Security
Suite. The solution will enable organizations to scan all of their
files, applications and network traffic to ensure that all of their
data—whether on-premise or hosted via major cloud providers—is
secure even when attackers break through firewalls and network
endpoints. The goal is to help companies defend against the growing
threat of quantum computing-based decryption attacks, which will
only increase as quantum computing continues to advance and pose
even greater threats to encryption systems.
“With the increased use of AI and generative AI, cyberattacks
are becoming more targeted and precise,” said Paolo Dal Cin, global
lead of Accenture Security. “Our collaboration with SandboxAQ will
better equip organizations to defend against a myriad of
cybersecurity and quantum risks before a cyber adversary can
strike.”
Through the partnership, Accenture will help clients leverage
SandboxAQ’s AI and simulation solutions, which are currently being
used to accelerate drug discovery and advance materials science,
and SandboxAQ’s quantum sensing solutions, which are being tested in geomagnetic navigation
systems and next-generation medical imaging devices.
“Cyberattacks are on the rise and are severely impacting
enterprises and governments,” said Jack D. Hidary, CEO of
SandboxAQ. “With Accenture, we’ll be able to provide comprehensive
cryptographic management solutions that will protect their clients
against both current and future threats. We will also be working
with Accenture on other products including next-gen AI
simulation.”
Accenture and SandboxAQ are currently helping a global nonprofit
health organization mitigate its quantum risk. They are taking a
multi-phased approach to enhance the organization’s quantum
security strategy and discover the most at-risk uses of
cryptography across its networks, third parties and vendors as well
as their public networks in more than 100 countries. This approach
will help the nonprofit reduce its risks from newly vulnerable
cryptographic protocols, lower its overall operating costs and
reduce the time to deploy lifesaving health solutions.
To help maintain security in a post-quantum world, Accenture has
developed an eight-step roadmap and partnered with or invested in
several leading technology providers. These new ventures, including
the collaboration with SandboxAQ, will help Accenture provide
clients with technology to secure their data and communications.
Working with other industry leaders, Accenture has designed a
Quantum Security Maturity Index to give corporate boards and
executives a way to measure their quantum security infrastructure
against their peers and identify areas for improvement.
