Google and Accenture partner to streamline enterprise security – News

As threat actors grow more sophisticated, enterprise security teams face mounting pressure to protect sprawling infrastructures with fewer resources. The challenge isn’t just about better tools. It’s also about smarter integration and faster outcomes.

That’s where the partnership between Google LLC and Accenture PLC comes in. The two companies have built not just on product integration, but on mutual investment in service delivery. Google focuses on product innovation, while Accenture brings implementation expertise that helps enterprises operationalize security at scale, according to Kelsey Koval (pictured, right), global alliance manager of Accenture Cyber at Google.

Accenture’s Kevin Butterfield and Google’s Kelsey Koval talk with theCUBE about how aligned services, unified tools and automation drive faster modernization.

“We are partnering with Accenture to wrap services around our security products,” she told theCUBE. “I would say we’ve had at least three solid years under our belt with quite a bit of success. Starting with the security products that we’ve had … all the way down to this unified powerhouse, this offering that we have, where everything is truly one offering. We’ve got Accenture now wrapping around, investing services.”

Koval and Kevin Butterfield (left), managing director and chief financial officer, cybersecurity, at Accenture, spoke with theCUBE’s Dave Vellante during an exclusive broadcast at the RSAC 2025 Conference, News Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how aligned services, unified tools and automation drive faster modernization, reduce risk and speed time to value. (* Disclosure below.)

A collaborative approach drives enterprise security with unified tools and services

Google Unified Security anchors the partnership’s go-to-market strategy. The platform brings together tools such as security operations, the Chronicle Security Operations Platform, Mandiant Inc. and Google Threat Intelligence under a single umbrella, making it easier for enterprises to manage enterprise security risk across their environments without juggling disconnected tools, according to Koval. Accenture adds value by layering services that help clients tailor deployments based on industry needs and operational maturity.

“If you think about it, Google Cloud Security, each product was kind of like a link in a chain,” she said. “We’re saying, ‘Instead of buying these links in a chain, let’s actually give it to you all at once, and you can turn on what you need… and you can leverage Accenture for top-of-the-line security services.’”

Accenture’s approach begins with security operations center transformation workshops — structured engagements designed to clarify risk tolerance, business goals and success metrics before a single implementation begins, according to Butterfield. But planning is only part of the equation. As artificial intelligence becomes a larger force in enterprise security, time and cost have emerged as the biggest barriers to modernization. Reducing both is a shared priority for these partners as they work to accelerate enterprise security modernization.

“We’re going next with the emergence of artificial intelligence, and we see the two biggest reasons clients are slow to move to … a modern technology stack, would be time to implement and cost,” Butterfield said. “We are now partnering on reducing both of those. We want to offer our clients greater protection, at a lower cost [and] at a quicker time to get there, and that’s just around the corner with Google and Accenture.”

The combination of Google’s automation-rich stack and Accenture’s operational insight also unlocks AI’s potential in practical ways, according to Koval. By combining security information and event management with security orchestration, automation and response, the platform streamlines alert handling and investigation, easing the burden on overwhelmed security teams without sacrificing precision.

“Imagine that expectation and bring that home to the SOC,” she said. “We’re bringing the power in search and investigation … and then we’re making it easier on the analyst and on the SOC by putting in automation and leveraging AI to really streamline some of that.”
