Data breach costs in the U.S. reached an all-time high of $10.22 million per incident in 2025, marking a 9% year-over-year increase as the exploit window for technical vulnerabilities compressed from months to hours. To combat this escalating financial threat, Accenture and ServiceNow recently announced a joint offering to automate enterprise migration off legacy cybersecurity systems. The offering pairs managed security services built on the ServiceNow AI Platform with an Accenture tool designed to automate the migration process.
The companies are targeting two barriers that often slow security modernization: the cost and complexity of replacing legacy risk platforms. Their managed services use AI agents to monitor vendors, automate lifecycle management, track regulatory changes, and give security teams a centralized view of enterprise risk.
The offering also brings information technology and operational technology risk onto a single platform. Accenture and ServiceNow say this can improve visibility and threat detection across industrial control systems and critical infrastructure. Accenture’s migration tool is designed to move companies off older risk platforms while reducing costs and limiting disruption.
Building on an existing partnership, Accenture and ServiceNow are expanding their work in integrated risk management. Rex Thexton, Global Chief Technology Officer at Accenture Cybersecurity, said businesses need “the ability to connect risk insights, automate decision-making, and respond at enterprise scale.”
