Accenture and Google Cloud have announced new strides in their strategic partnership. This is aimed at enhancing services to help businesses integrate generative AI (gen AI) and strengthen cybersecurity.
The companies are increasing their investments in tools and expertise to guide businesses through every stage of gen AI projects, from identifying optimal use cases to scaling the technology securely.
The partnership is also deepening its focus on cybersecurity. As companies embrace gen AI, they face new risks, including securing model data and managing cyber threats.
Accenture and Google Cloud are working together to address these challenges. They are offering services that minimize the impact of breaches and enable faster recovery.

Expanding Generative AI Adoption
Since the launch of the Accenture and Google Cloud Generative AI Center of Excellence (CoE) in December 2023, 45% of joint client projects have moved from initial concepts to full-scale production.
The companies are now increasing support for businesses as they use AI to optimize operations, solve industry-specific problems, and protect against sophisticated cyber threats.
Accenture’s partnership with Google Cloud is helping clients across industries accelerate their use of gen AI. This collaboration is seen as a key driver for innovation, enhanced cybersecurity, and faster value creation.
Banco BV, one of Brazil’s largest financial institutions, teamed up with Accenture and Google Cloud to transform customer interactions using gen AI.
The GenCore project has made communication 80% faster and 100 times more personalized, demonstrating the potential of AI-driven solutions.
Similarly, Radisson Hotel Group used Google Cloud’s Vertex AI and Gemini models to optimize its advertising strategies. This led to a 50% boost in ad team productivity and a 20% increase in revenue from AI-powered campaigns.
Strengthening Security with AI
Accenture and Google Cloud have also made significant advancements in cybersecurity. Their managed extended detection and response (MxDR) service, integrated with Google Security Operations, is now helping hundreds of enterprises enhance their security measures and reduce costs.
Intelligence from Mandiant and Accenture’s crisis management teams bolsters the service, enabling clients to swiftly respond to advanced threats.
For example, after a major cyber breach, an international retailer improved its security and detection capabilities using the MxDR solution.
Looking ahead, Accenture and Google Cloud are committed to supporting businesses at every stage of their gen AI journey. Accenture has doubled its Google Cloud certifications in the past year, reflecting the growing demand for Google Cloud technologies.
The company has also integrated Google Cloud’s gen AI tools into its own platforms, helping Accenture engineers deliver faster and more efficient AI-driven software solutions to clients.
