To address the rapidly evolving
cybersecurity landscape, Verizon Business and Accenture announced a strategic
partnership to accelerate the development and delivery of advanced

Combining both companies' strengths in cybersecurity and
networking, the partnership will begin by offering new as-a-service

Detection and Response (MxDR), as well as cyber risk services. Following this
initial phase, the partnership will concentrate on co-innovating new solutions.
"Cybersecurity is a top priority for businesses. With our
decades of experience in this area, Verizon is committed to offering solutions
that protect our customers and keep their data secure," said Kyle Malady,

with Accenture will be key to scaling our capabilities and delivering new and
innovative products to address our customers' most pressing needs."
"The security landscape is growing more complex, driven by
emerging technologies, geopolitical uncertainty, global data and cyber security
regulations, supply chain risks, and a cyber skills gap. Businesses must
prioritize resilience to stay ahead of evolving threats," said Manish
Sharma, CEO – Americas, Accenture. "Our solutions, coupled with Verizon's
core network services and deep security expertise will enable businesses to
better protect their data and operations against cyber-attacks."
