Accenture, SandboxAQ Fortify Data Encryption for Organizations

Accenture and SandboxAQ 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 organizations 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 organizations, 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. 

The service can identify risks across important areas including the existence of cryptographic assets such as digital certificates or cryptographic keys, and usage of cryptographic algorithms, both symmetric and public key, as well as any other cryptographic constructions such as hash functions, for a comprehensive view of cryptography use throughout the enterprise. When combined with data security and privacy policies along with governance, risk and compliance guidelines, the assessment delivers prioritized recommendations for remediation action, enabling businesses to act with urgency and agility to protect their overall infrastructure against the most advanced and sophisticated threats, and in their transition to post-quantum technology.
