Accenture is now a leading player in European cybersecurity
According to some industry research reports the company is among the top shots of the industry.

The latest report from Forrester Research names Accenture Plc (NYSE: ACN) as the European industry leader in cybersecurity consulting. The report confirms that it is Accenture's exceptional, technology-driven offerings that are helping the company dominate the field. The Forrester Wave report focuses on both the weaknesses and strengths of the fifteen dominant cybersecurity service providers and then compares them to a number of twenty-one criteria. These are then divided into three higher-level segments: "Market presence", "Strategy" and "Current offer". In the "Strategy" category, Accenture was able to achieve the most points it can get with 14/21 of the specified criteria. These include, but are not limited to: security team engagement, asset-based pricing and other pricing models, value creation and corporate IP, technical consulting implementation skills, technical security assessment skills, and so on. Accenture also achieved the highest possible number of points in the market presence segment. The report revealed that the company was on a shopping spree with the recent acquisitions of Context IS, security testing specialists, and Symantec. As a result, Accenture has significantly expanded its competencies and capabilities. The report also shows that the company's exceptional technical IP helps it dominate the market. This IP is special because of what it does for partners and what it does for itself. Accenture Security Europe Head Paolo Dal Cin said the investments and expansion in Europe that have taken place over the past 24 months only reinforce the skills and capabilities they offer their local customers. He said they believe the recognition Forrester is giving them will help validate their European ability to create and offer industry-specific features that deliver tangible value to customers. This global professional services provider with high quality security, cloud and digital capabilities combines specialized skills and unmatched experience to provide the most effective strategy, security and advisory services. They provide strategy and consulting, technology, interactivity, and operations services.
