Four
next-generation autonomous Cyber Defense Centers are now operational in
India, with two additional centers planned in the UK in 2025 and the
USA in 2026
Built with Agentic AI for SecOps, GenAI-driven threat
orchestration and advanced automation that delivers up to 60% faster
investigations and 90% fewer alerts
Adds capacity for 800+ security analysts to protect global clients 24x7 through unified, AI-driven detection and response
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and
technology services, today announced the launch of four next-generation
autonomous Cyber Defense Centers powered by AI technologies in
Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Noida and Mumbai, with two additional centers set
to open in Birmingham (UK) in Dec 2025 and Dallas (USA) by Jan 2026.
These
purpose-built Cyber Defense Centers reinforce NTT DATA’s strategic
focus on modernizing cybersecurity for the AI era. They represent a
shift from traditional centralized security operations to a distributed,
AI-driven, hyper-automated model that learns from past incidents and
human expertise to automate, triage and prioritize alerts, accelerate
investigations and incident response, contain threats faster and support
regional data privacy and cybersecurity regulations.
According
to Omdia, autonomous Security Operations Centers (SOCs) will become the
industry standard within two years, positioning NTT DATA as a leading
example of how the industry is evolving toward autonomous cyber
resilience.
Next-generation technology meets global and local expertise
The
next-generation Cyber Defense Centers combine human security experts
and AI agents to defend against evolving cyber threats. AI agents
autonomously triage, analyze and hunt potential incidents, reducing
investigation time by up to 60%, enabling teams to contain threats
earlier in the kill chain. By automating high-volume, repetitive tasks,
these capabilities free security analysts to focus on higher-value work
such as digital forensics, containment and recovery.
Each center is purpose-built with cutting-edge technology. Key features include:
Autonomous agent-based cyberdefense and AI-driven threat orchestration to accelerate detection and response cycles.
Real-time global threat intelligence and localized threat hunting tailored to each region’s unique threat landscape.
A
comprehensive portfolio of offerings, including Managed Detection &
Response (MDR), Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Compliance
& Regulatory Advisory and Cloud & OT Security Services.
Proactive
identification of new and emerging threats, along with a clear view of
cyber risks and recommendations for reducing them.
Significant
risk reduction & operational efficiency improvements, including up
to 90% alert reduction and 60% faster mean time to detect and respond.
Powered by industry-leading technology platforms that leverage NTT DATA’s strategic partnerships.
“Our
clients’ innovation and growth are driven by rapid adoption of cloud
and AI technologies that must be secured at speed and scale,” said
Charlie Li, Head of Cloud and Security Services, NTT DATA, Inc. “Our
expanding footprint of next-generation Cyber Defense Centers enables us
to meet the rising demand for AI-powered cybersecurity services, defend
against AI-enabled threats and help our clients advance their
edge-to-cloud digital transformation journeys.”
Global network with local expertise
The
four Cyber Defense Centers in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Noida and Mumbai,
expand NTT DATA’s global cybersecurity footprint across five continents,
supported by more than 40 delivery centers and SOCs in over 50
countries.
Together, these centers enhance coverage for more than
1,200 global clients by combining regional expertise with agentic AI,
advanced automation and next-generation technologies.
The centers
provide 24x7 unified threat monitoring, detection, response and
incident management and are fully integrated with NTT DATA’s SecOps
global network, delivering AI-driven insights and threat intelligence
through a single dashboard for identification, detection, protection and
recovery.
Additional Cyber Defense Centers will launch in
Birmingham (UK, Dec 2025) and Dallas (USA, Jan 2026) further
strengthening regional capabilities across NTT DATA’s global network.
These
“glocal” Cyber Defense Centers operate in collaboration with regional
Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs), National Cyber Security
Centers (NCSCs) and government agencies to help clients meet local data
privacy and AI-regulation requirements.
“Today’s threat
environment demands intelligent, adaptive defenses that combine global
insight with local expertise to help organizations continuously reduce
risks and build resilience,” said Sheetal Mehta, Head of Cybersecurity,
NTT DATA, Inc. “With the addition of these AI-powered Cyber Defense
Centers, we are advancing our vision of a globally interconnected
cyberdefense network that combines cutting-edge technology, strategic
partnerships and world-class talent.”
