ARLINGTON, Va., April 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accenture Federal Services today announced the launch of a joint Managed Extended Detection and Response (MxDR) solution with Google Public Sector. The new MxDR for government solution integrates Google Security Operations (SecOps) platform with Accenture Federal’s deep federal cybersecurity expertise. This solution uses security-specific generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) to significantly enhance threat detection and response, and the overall security posture for federal agencies.

This announcement expands the cybersecurity services of the existing Cybersecurity Center of Excellence between Accenture Federal Services and Google Public Sector.

The MxDR for government solution, announced at Google Cloud Next 2025, combines Google Cloud’s cutting-edge AI and machine learning capabilities with Accenture Federal’s tailored federal security frameworks and experienced cybersecurity professionals. This collaboration aims to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve cybersecurity resilience across federal mission areas. Key capabilities include real-time intelligence-based threat detection, modernized orchestration and automation response playbooks, and customizable dashboards designed for federal-specific use cases.

MxDR for government solution, powered by Google SecOps technology

The MxDR for government solution includes unique and pioneering capabilities integrated with Google technologies, enabling federal agencies to:

• Detect more threats with less effort – the MxDR solution offers federal clients an integrated library of Google’s expert detections and Accenture Federal’s tailored MxDR threat detection library. Agencies can use Google AI for intuitive data search and analysis, custom detection creation, and AI assisted query refinement.
• Investigate with the right context – the MxDR solution provides streamlined security analysis with an intuitive interface featuring threat-centric case management, interactive and contextual alert graphs, and automated entity stitching. Google AI-generated case summaries and response recommendations accelerate investigations. Fast, flexible, and context-rich search capabilities ensure analysts can easily respond with speed and precision.

MxDR for government solution is a FedRAMP High Authorized solution supporting compliance with stringent federal cybersecurity controls and providing a seamless 24x7 upgrade path for agencies. This collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to advancing federal cybersecurity capabilities and delivering future-ready cybersecurity solutions.

"By combining our deep federal cybersecurity expertise with Google Cloud’s innovative AI, we’re delivering a powerful federal cybersecurity solution that enables agencies to operate more efficiently and securely, significantly reducing operational costs and improving threat detection, mitigation and response times," said Ron Ash, CEO of Accenture Federal Services. "This partnership represents a critical advancement for federal cybersecurity, delivering a solution that empowers federal agencies to proactively address evolving cyber threats and ensure mission success."

"By uniting Google Cloud’s transformative AI-powered security with Accenture Federal Services’ deep federal expertise, we are equipping federal agencies to securely accelerate the pace of innovation," stated Karen Dahut, CEO of Google Public Sector. "This collaboration goes beyond traditional security, empowering agencies to proactively counter evolving cyber threats with intelligent automation and efficiency, significantly reducing operational costs while establishing a robust and agile security posture that actively enables, rather than hinders, rapid modernization and confident pursuit of mission objectives."
