Revolutionary Security leverages established technology and methods to help mature the security abilities of its clients and handle risk. The firm breach and attack simulation testing service, LiveFire®, uses real-world cyber threats to recognize notches in the security process and monitoring, as well as team operations and technologies. The results help companies prioritize efforts to mitigate cyber risks in their business.

Revolutionary Security headquartered in the greater Philadelphia area employs 90 highly skilled cybersecurity specialists throughout the United States. The company was founded in 2016, assists a variety of clients in the manufacturing, healthcare, energy, financial services, and communications industries.

Revolutionary Security's service offerings are a complete supplement to Accenture's portfolio, and the acquisition advances Accenture's mission of helping clients better protect and secure their businesses across their entire ecosystem.

The takeover will provide Accenture's clients with greater end to end solutions, particularly concerning more complex IT and OT cybersecurity difficulties.

According to Jim Guinn II, who heads Accenture's cybersecurity business for the utilities, chemical, energy, and mining industries, High-profile and targeted cyber-attacks throughout the globe are putting extended attention on critical IT and OT security risks, with possibly catastrophic outcomes if systems are hijacked.

Businesses often lack the required visibility to handle and measure OT cyber risk in an identical way as IT risk. Revolutionary Security's extensive knowledge working with industrial companies and their functional technical skillset will be amazingly valuable to our customers.

According to Rich Mahler, president, and CEO of Revolutionary Security, the opportunity to become part of Accenture Security will allow Revolutionary Security to deliver more complete solutions to our clients and develop services to even more clients globally. Revolutionary Security is excited to be joining the best provider in cybersecurity services and look forward to working together to help clients resolve their difficult difficulties in IT and OT security."
