Accenture launched Cyber.AI at RSAC on March 25, powered by Anthropic's Claude as its reasoning engine, orchestrating AI-driven 'missions' from assessment and triage to remediation across a curated library of agents spanning identity security, cyber defense, secure digital core, and resiliency. Agent Shield provides real-time identity controls, threat detection, and runtime protection for autonomous AI agents at scale. The announcement arrives as the World Economic Forum's Global Cyber Outlook 2026 (produced with Accenture) reports 89% of organizations identify AI-related vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cyber risk.
