NTT DATA partners with Palo Alto Networks to deliver AI cloud-to-edge cybersecurity
NTT DATA today announced an expanded partnership with Palo Alto Networks 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), offering 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 cyberthreats.
The service is powered by Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM, a security operations center (SOC) platform. Cortex XSIAM is an AI-driven platform that transforms the 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.”
“Organizations today are facing an unprecedented volume of sophisticated cyber threats across their entire operations,” said Kristy Friedrichs, Chief Partnerships Officer, 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.”
Empowering industries to modernize with confidence
The NTT DATA and Palo Alto Networks partnership targets industries that rely on secure, connected environments, including manufacturing, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors. Key benefits include:
