PwC and WebSecure

Building a secure digital Australia with the heightened capabilities of Privileged Access Management.

We are pleased to announce our agreed acquisition of Australian cybersecurity firm WebSecure Technologies Australia, an Australian IT security and risk management firm that specialises in implementing Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions.

WebSecure is recognised as the longest serving and largest boutique Australian implementation partner of global security company CyberArk.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) and in particular CyberArk skills are vital to the security of Australia’s digital future, ensuring deep digital identity protection. WebSecure provides a complete end-to-end solution in Privileged Access Management, including licensing, implementation, maintenance and support, and on-going operational managed services.

“Responding to the fast-moving and continuously evolving cyber threat landscape is more important than ever before.

Corinne Best Partner and Trust & Risk Business Leader

PwC Australia Partner and Trust & Risk Business Leader Corinne Best said, “Responding to the fast-moving and continuously evolving cyber threat landscape is more important than ever before. Our clients need constant innovation and ingenuity to respond to critical cyber risks and our clients are telling us they prefer to source as many of these services as they can from a single service provider.

“I am delighted about our WebSecure acquisition. The credentials of WebSecure as the longest serving and largest boutique implementation partner of global security company CyberArk are impressive. This acquisition continues to strengthen our scale and end-to-end Cybersecurity Advisory and implementation offering. With the WebSecure integration, we will have access to more skills, expertise and innovation which will allow us to deliver greater value and insight to our clients.”

As a result, one Partner and 12 staff have received offers to join PwC at the beginning of November 2021. This growth in our expertise and our community is a further demonstration of our strong commitment to building a secure digital Australia.

Since restructuring our Cybersecurity and Digital Trust capability in October 2020 to provide clients with a completely streamlined, agile and secure end-to-end solution, we’ve added 120 new team members, including the creation and resourcing of our onshore Skilled Service Hub.

We’re now a team of 320, bringing deep expertise from digital trust and identity management through to cybersecurity resilience and response and digital law.
