NTT DATA, a digital business and IT services provider, partners with Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity provider, to help global enterprises safeguard their digital infrastructures from emerging cybersecurity threats spanning from the cloud to the farthest edge of enterprise environments.
The collaboration introduces NTT DATA’s Managed Extended Detection Response Service (MXDR), which offers continuous threat monitoring, detection, and rapid response capabilities. Leveraging AI and machine learning, the service provides visibility across networks, edge, and cloud environments, enabling organizations to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
Cortex XSIAM, powered by Palo Alto Networks, is an AI-driven platform that transforms the security operations center (SOC) by harnessing the power of AI and automation to simplify operations, stop threats at scale, and accelerate incident remediation.
These combined capabilities are designed to help enterprises strengthen their cyber resilience by integrating innovative technologies and threat intelligence with global security expertise, significantly reducing the time needed to detect and respond to sophisticated cyber threats. Clients benefit from a unified view of data and security operations on a single platform to streamline operations and prevent threats.
“Many organizations rely on fragmented security systems, making it harder to detect advanced threats and react quickly,” said Sheetal Mehta, Global Head of Cybersecurity, NTT DATA, Inc. “By partnering with Palo Alto Networks, we’re delivering a unified solution that strengthens cyber resilience, streamlines security operations and improves overall agility.”
NTT DATA’s new MXDR service offers 24×7 incident detection and response, supported by a global operations team, AI-driven threat intelligence orchestration, and automation.
“Organizations today are facing an unprecedented volume of sophisticated cyber threats, across their entire operations,” said Kristy Friedrichs, Chief Partnerships Officer of Palo Alto Networks. “With NTT DATA, we are helping organizations transform their SOC through platformization with XSIAM and expert services, delivering a unified solution that ensures customers can modernize and protect their operations with confidence.”
By integrating real-time threat intelligence into the heart of its operations, NTT DATA proactively protects clients from emerging risks in an ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. This allows customers to reduce operational complexity, improve resource management, and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).
