AttackIQ and Accenture Accelerate Security Modernization with Threat-Informed Defense and Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

Cybersecurity teams are under increasing pressure from evolving adversaries, expanding tool ecosystems, and growing detection complexity. As organizations invest in SOC modernization to strengthen visibility, resilience, and measurable security outcomes, AttackIQ and Accenture are working together to help clients accelerate the shift to Threat‑Informed Defense. By integrating AttackIQ’s adversarial testing, Breach and Attack Simulation, and AI‑driven control validation into Accenture’s global SOC modernization and transformation services, enterprises gain continuous, evidence-based insights into defensive effectiveness and a unified way to validate cyber‑defense performance. This combined approach supports confident decision‑making around tooling, process improvements, and major operational transitions such as SIEM migrations, cloud adoption, and detection engineering initiatives.

“We are excited to integrate AttackIQ’s capabilities to create a better transformation experience for our clients. We are beginning to leverage AttackIQ as a key component of Accenture’s SOC modernization and transformation services,” said Wei Li, Americas SOC Modernization Lead at Accenture. “Their automated adversarial testing and AI-driven validation capabilities help give our teams and our clients real-time clarity into what works, what doesn’t, and what to fix. Together, we are moving global enterprises toward measurable, threat-informed defense at scale.”

The collaboration also enables Accenture to leverage AttackIQ AVA™, an advanced AI system that interrogates telemetry, simulates adversarial behavior, and automatically identifies defensive control gaps. AVA’s analysis accelerates time-to-value for customers undergoing complex SIEM platform transitions — including hybrid and multicloud environments — while reducing the operational burden of manual tuning and re-instrumentation.

“Accenture is using AttackIQ AVA to help customers save meaningful time and budget during complex SIEM migrations,” said Carl Wright, Chief Commercial Officer at AttackIQ. “By validating detection logic and control coverage across the migration lifecycle, teams reduce risk, avoid costly rework, and maintain consistent visibility and detection fidelity .”

Future Collaboration to Enable Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)

As enterprises progress beyond episodic testing toward continuous security performance measurement, AttackIQ and Accenture plan to expand the relationship to support Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) programs, aligned to Gartner’s emerging cybersecurity operating model.

“Accenture’s approach to CTEM depends on timely, evidence‑driven insights into exposure and defensive readiness,” said Nathan Stein, Americas CTEM Lead. “AttackIQ’s Exposure Management capabilities bring those insights into focus by unifying adversarial testing, telemetry, and AI‑based prioritization. Together, we’re helping organizations move from reactive security to proactive, continuous exposure management.”

CTEM programs require continuous visibility into exposure, defensive effectiveness, and remediation priorities. AttackIQ’s new Exposure Management Module will play a critical role in enabling CTEM by:

• Orchestrating continuous adversarial testing and validation
• Aggregating vulnerabilities, detection and cyber-defense control performance telemetry
• Applying AI to map exposures to business context and threat likelihood with rich attack path management
• Prioritizing remediation activities based on real-world adversary behavior
• Integrating evidence and decision support into SOC, GRC, and Exposure Management workflows

By unifying threat-informed adversarial validation, AI-driven prioritization, and operational exposure performance measurement, AttackIQ now gives both Accenture and its customers a scalable operating model for continuous threat exposure management as infrastructure evolves, threat actors change, and SOC modernization initiatives advance.
