Accenture斥資逾十億收購澳洲網絡安全巨擘CyberCX




Accenture斥資逾10億澳元收購澳洲網絡安全公司CyberCX 創行業最大交易紀錄

路透社報道,全球管理及科技服務巨頭Accenture於周四宣布,將收購澳洲網絡安全公司CyberCX,這筆交易被《澳洲金融評論報》估值超過10億澳元(約6.5億美元),成為Accenture在網絡安全領域迄今最大規模的收購案。

澳洲近年頻遭嚴重的網絡攻擊衝擊。2022年,電訊巨頭Optus發生數據洩露事件,約一千萬用戶的個人資料被曝光。此外,健康保險公司Medibank亦遭駭客入侵,影響近千萬客戶。7月,澳洲航空(Qantas Airways)亦披露其一個呼叫中心被黑客滲透,約六百萬客戶的個人資料外洩。

出售CyberCX的私募股權公司BGH Capital未透露具體財務細節,Accenture亦未提供更多交易資訊,而BGH Capital對路透社的估值詢問未作回應。這宗交易凸顯全球企業對高端數碼安全服務需求急升,面對日益複雜的網絡威脅,企業亟需加強防禦以保障營運和敏感資料安全。

總部設於墨爾本的CyberCX成立於2019年,由BGH Capital支持的12間較小網絡安全公司合併而成。公司現有約1,400名員工,在澳洲及紐西蘭設有安全運營中心,並在倫敦和紐約設有辦公室。CyberCX由前Optus商務部董事總經理John Paitaridis領導,首席策略官Alastair MacGibbon則是澳洲前國家網絡安全協調員。兩人與Optus的關係引人注目,因Optus的2022年數據洩露事件涉及用戶姓名、出生日期、地址、電話、電郵、護照及駕駛執照號碼等敏感資料。

自2015年起,Accenture已完成20宗安全領域收購,近期包括收購巴西網絡防衛公司Morphus、墨西哥MNEMO及西班牙Innotec Security等。國內方面,Accenture今年2月與Telstra簽訂7億澳元合作協議,目標是為電訊公司推動人工智能技術應用。

評論與啟示

Accenture此次斥資逾10億澳元收購CyberCX,顯示全球企業對網絡安全的重視程度已達前所未有的高度。澳洲作為一個在數碼經濟發展迅速的市場,卻屢遭大規模資料洩漏事件衝擊,突顯當地企業對安全防護的迫切需求。CyberCX憑藉其在澳洲及紐西蘭的地域優勢,以及強大的人才和管理團隊背景,成為Accenture擴展亞太網絡安全版圖的理想夥伴。

值得注意的是,CyberCX領導層與Optus過往安全事件有關聯,這既是一種警示,也是一種優勢。經歷過重大資料洩露事件的管理者,更能深刻理解安全漏洞的風險及防範措施,這種經驗有助於打造更完善的安全解決方案。

從更宏觀的角度看,Accenture的持續收購行動反映出網絡安全行業正逐步走向集中化及規模化,單靠單一企業難以應對日益複雜的威脅。大企業透過整合多家專精公司,能迅速提升技術能力及市場覆蓋範圍,為客戶提供一站式的安全服務。

對香港及大中華地區的企業而言,這亦是一個警號:隨著全球網絡攻擊手法不斷升級,提升自身安全防禦能力勢在必行。未來,跨國大型安全服務供應商的影響力將持續擴大,企業應積極尋求合作夥伴,或加強內部安全建設,以免成為下一個數據洩露的受害者。

最後,隨著人工智能等新技術的應用,網絡安全形勢將更為複雜。Accenture與Telstra在AI領域的合作,正是展示未來安全策略融合新技術的趨勢。投資者在評估類似企業時,應關注其是否具備整合新興技術的能力,這將是未來競爭力的重要指標。

Create a photorealistic and highly detailed image featuring the attached image walking confidently down a modern city street, accompanied by Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Jason Momoa acting as bodyguards.

John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is walking just beside or slightly behind the subject, holding an umbrella over him to shield from light rain.

The subject should be the central figure, wearing stylish casual clothing — like a fitted jacket, dark jeans, and sunglasses — exuding calm authority and cool charisma.

Statham, The Rock, and Momoa are dressed in black tactical-style suits, maintaining alert, protective stances, scanning the surroundings like professional bodyguards. John Wick wears his signature black suit and tie, looking composed as he holds the umbrella.

The setting is a downtown urban street with wet pavement reflecting city lights, parked luxury cars, and paparazzi in the background snapping photos.

The photo should look like a real paparazzi shot — slightly off-angle, mid-step motion blur, with realistic lighting and reflections.

Lighting: natural daylight with overcast skies, reflections from wet concrete, realistic shadows, subtle raindrops on the umbrella and clothing.

Camera realism: crisp detail on facial features and clothing textures, shallow depth of field emphasizing the group, with lens flare or light bloom for authenticity.

Mood & tone: grounded, cinematic, and stylish — feels like a moment from a celebrity entourage photo or action-movie press capture, taken with an iPhone by paparazzi.

Style: ultra-realistic, documentary-style street photography with modern cinematic sharpness. 一隻在香港茶餐的喝奶茶的貓 {
