Verizon Business and Accenture have formed a strategic partnership to enhance cybersecurity solutions for businesses of all sizes. The collaboration will focus on identity and access management (IAM), managed extended detection and response (MxDR), and cyber risk services to help organizations detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats.

Verizon's expertise in networking and security will be combined with Accenture’s capabilities in cyber risk management and technology solutions. The partnership aims to address increasing cybersecurity challenges, including data breaches, phishing attacks, and supply chain risks.

The initial phase will introduce new as-a-service cybersecurity offerings, with plans to co-develop additional solutions in the future. Industry analysts see this initiative as strengthening Verizon's competitive position in cybersecurity while aligning with growing market demand for comprehensive security services.
