Accenture has announced its intent to acquire French cybersecurity services outfit Openminded.
The move is apparently part of a cunning plan but Accenture to strengthen its security presence in the country and across the EU.
For those not in the know, Openminded specialises in delivering advisory, cloud and infrastructure security, cyber defence, and managed security services and the move will give Accenture more than 100 highly skilled cybersecurity employees to Accenture’s existing workforce of almost 7,000. Founded in 2008, Openminded is powered by a security operations centre and helps clients anticipate and reduce security risks, rapidly detect and respond to cyber incidents, as well as implement best practices in regulatory compliance.
