Accenture AI Refinery
- AI Foundation Platform
- Helps companies turn raw AI technology into useful business solutions.
- Available on public and private cloud platforms.
The integration of Accenture’s AI Refinery with CyberArk’s Identity Security Platform will enable clients to manage and secure AI agents more effectively. The partnership is aimed at providing robust tools to implement Zero Trust principles, which assume that all users and devices require continuous verification and authorisation. “AI agents have the potential to gain privileged access to systems and processes, so they require the same level of identity security controls as human and machine identities,” said Matt Cohen, CEO at CyberArk. “By combining the comprehensive identity security capabilities of the CyberArk Platform with the powerful functionality of Accenture’s AI Refinery, we will be enabling our customers to realise the full potential of agentic AI to transform their businesses with the peace of mind that comes with knowing the agent identities are secure.”
Organisations must prepare for the integration of AI agents into their workforces and marketplaces. Ensuring they receive the same level of security considerations and controls as human employees is critical. According to Accenture’s Technology Vision 2025 report, 77% of executives think AI agents will reinvent how their organisations build digital systems. “The AI agents operate autonomously, presenting unique identity security challenges. Ensuring secure authentication, credentialing and authorisation is crucial for their safe operation both within and outside of organisations,” said Damon McDougald, global Cybersecurity Protection lead at Accenture. “Our collaboration with CyberArk by integrating Accenture’s AI Refinery into their platform is a significant step forward in helping our clients achieve secure identity access controls and more effective credential management.”
Zero Trust Principle
“Zero Trust is the foundation of a robust security framework. By assuming that all users and devices require continuous verification and authorisation, we can ensure the security of our identities, even in a world where trust is broken,”
The integration of Accenture’s AI Refinery with CyberArk’s Identity Security Platform will help organisations build the trust needed to run AI Agents in enterprise production environments. As AI agents become an integral part of day-to-day operations, this collaboration will enable:
- Secure authentication and authorisation of AI agents
- Comprehensive identity management and control
- Unified security across all identities
- Robust tools for implementing Zero Trust principles
By combining the comprehensive identity security capabilities of CyberArk’s platform with the powerful functionality of Accenture’s AI Refinery, the partnership will provide clients with the tools they need to implement Zero Trust principles and manage AI agents securely. “AI agents have the potential to transform businesses in profound ways, but they also present unique identity security challenges. By integrating Accenture’s AI Refinery into our platform, we can help our clients realise the full potential of agentic AI, while ensuring the security of their identities,” said Matt Cohen, CEO at CyberArk. “This partnership is a significant step forward in helping our clients achieve secure identity access controls and more effective credential management.”
CyberArk and Accenture’s collaboration will deliver identity security for scalable AI agent adoption. The partnership will focus on combining the robust identity security capabilities of CyberArk with the innovative AI Refinery services of Accenture, helping organisations build the trust needed to run AI Agents in enterprise production environments.
