ADVANCING A GLOBALLY INTERCONNECTED DEFENCE NETWORK
NTT DATA’ s leadership frames the new Cyber Defense Centers as the next step in building a globally interconnected cyber defence network that combines technology, strategic partnerships and specialist talent. The company argues that as adversaries adopt AI and autonomous tactics, enterprises need equally adaptive platforms to maintain digital trust and support secure growth across hybrid data centre and cloud environments.
For data centre operators planning 2025 and beyond, the direction is clear: resilience is moving from the SOC screen into the physical and logical design of facilities, from how workloads are segmented to how incident response is orchestrated at global scale.
The shift towards autonomous, AI‐driven security operations represents more than technological evolution – it signals a fundamental reimagining of how data centres approach cyber resilience in an era where threats move at machine speed and digital infrastructure underpins nearly every aspect of business operations.
As NTT DATA’ s network of Cyber Defense Centers becomes operational, the model offers a template for how global enterprises can balance the need for unified security controls with the reality of diverse regional requirements,
agent‐based cyberdefence that accelerates detection and response cycles, real‐time threat intelligence tailored to each region’ s unique threat landscape, and proactive identification of emerging threats alongside clear visibility of cyber risks.
The comprehensive service portfolio spans Managed Detection & Response, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Compliance & Regulatory Advisory and Cloud & OT Security Services – addressing the full spectrum of data centre security requirements from edge to core infrastructure.
This aligns with broader concerns across the digital infrastructure ecosystem that cybersecurity
