Cybersecurity Convergence Among Australian Businesses Amid Rising Cyber Threats

In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, Australian organizations are grappling with increasingly sophisticated, AI-powered attacks. A significant challenge faced by these organizations is the lack of seamless information sharing among overlapping cybersecurity solutions, hindering their defense capabilities.

However, the situation is evolving. Many companies in Australia are simplifying their defenses by adopting AI tools for more effective and efficient security. This shift is reflected in the 2025 ISG Provider Lens Cybersecurity - Services and Solutions report for Australia, which evaluates the capabilities of 97 providers across six quadrants.

The report, available to subscribers or for one-time purchase, assesses providers in Identity and Access Management (Global), Extended Detection and Response (Global), Security Service Edge (Global), Technical Security Services, Strategic Security Services, and Next-Gen SOC/MDR Services.

Notable Leaders in two quadrants each include Broadcom, EY, Fortinet, Infosys, Kyndryl, Microsoft, and Palo Alto Networks. Cato Networks, Check Point Software, Cisco, CrowdStrike, CyberArk, Forcepoint, KPMG, ManageEngine, Netskope, Okta, One Identity (OneLogin), Ping Identity, SailPoint, Saviynt, SentinelOne, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Telstra, Trellix, Trend Micro, Versa Networks, and Zscaler are named as Leaders in one quadrant each.

TCS is recognized as a Rising Star in two quadrants by ISG's report. Notably, PwC earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, while IBM is named as a Leader in five quadrants. Accenture, CyberCX, Deloitte, DXC Technology, Fujitsu, HCLTech, NTT DATA, PwC, Thales, and Wipro are named as Leaders in three quadrants each.

Cloud security has emerged as a top priority for cybersecurity leaders in Australia following the rapid migration of companies to the cloud to enable remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations in Australia are increasingly concerned about threats enabled by generative AI, especially through voice cloning and the creation of deepfake images, videos, and audio clips.

In response, Australian companies are strengthening identity protection and integrating AI into security operations. The use of AI can expose organizations to malicious interference in the training of AI models, which can make models less reliable or cause them to produce biased or inaccurate predictions.

The ISG Provider Lens Quadrant research series, known for its empirical, data-driven research and market analysis, combines this rigorous analysis with the real-world experience of ISG's global advisory team. The leading providers in Next-Gen SOC/MDR services in Australia according to the ISG Provider Lens 2025 report include CyberProof and Rackspace Technology, both recognized for their advanced AI-driven security platforms and comprehensive managed detection and response capabilities.

In an effort to keep the public informed, ISG's press contacts for media inquiries are Laura Hupprich and Julianna Sheridan. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, the ISG Provider Lens research series will continue to provide valuable insights into the strategies and solutions that leading organizations are adopting to stay ahead of the curve.

Increasingly, cybersecurity leaders in Australian companies are narrowing down their defensive systems to one or a few cloud-based platforms. Many organizations in Australia have ended up with multiple tools for endpoint detection and response (EDR) and identity and access management (IAM), along with many dashboards that lack integration. This centralized, cloud-based approach to cybersecurity, as found in the 2025 ISG Provider Lens Cybersecurity - Services and Solutions report for Australia, is a promising development in the ongoing battle against cyber threats.
