With autonomous AI, human-machine SecOps, and advanced orchestration, NTT DATA’s Cyber Defense Centers offer faster response, deeper visibility, and 24×7 protection across borders
NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business, and technology services, has announced the establishment of six new AI-powered Cyber Defense Centers to significantly enhance cybersecurity capabilities for global enterprises. Four of these advanced centers are already operational in India located in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Noida, and Mumbai while two more are set to open in Birmingham, UK, by December 2025 and in Dallas, USA, by January 2026.
These Cyber Defense Centers are built on a next-generation security model that integrates AI-powered threat detection, agentic AI for security operations, and intelligent automation. This approach is designed to modernize how organizations handle cybersecurity threats by reducing investigation times by up to 60% and minimizing alert fatigue by as much as 90 percent. The model represents a shift from traditional centralized security to a distributed and autonomous model that enhances response times, operational efficiency, and threat visibility across regions.
At full capacity, the centers will support more than 800 security analysts and provide 24/7 protection to over 1,200 global clients. They leverage AI agents that automatically triage and investigate incidents, enabling human analysts to focus on high-value tasks such as digital forensics, incident response, and threat recovery. Each center is fully equipped with cutting-edge tools that deliver real-time global threat intelligence, localized risk analysis, and unified dashboards for proactive decision-making.
NTT DATA’s offering spans Managed Detection and Response (MDR), incident response services, compliance advisory, threat intelligence, and cloud and OT security solutions. These services are designed to reduce cyber risks, streamline compliance, and improve overall threat response capabilities for large enterprises operating in an increasingly complex digital environment.
Charlie Li, Head of Cloud and Security Services at NTT DATA, emphasized the importance of securing digital transformation journeys at scale. He said that the company’s expanding network of Cyber Defense Centers enables global enterprises to counter sophisticated, AI-enabled cyber threats while accelerating their edge-to-cloud innovation.
The Cyber Defense Centers also operate in collaboration with national agencies including CERTs and cybersecurity regulators to ensure compliance with local privacy and AI-related legislation. This global-local or “glocal” model allows clients to navigate regional threats with greater precision and regulatory alignment.
Sheetal Mehta, Head of Cybersecurity at NTT DATA, stated that today’s threat environment requires intelligent and adaptive cyber defenses. She added that these centers support the company’s broader vision of a globally connected defense network that uses automation, human expertise, and strategic partnerships to protect business ecosystems.
The rollout of these Cyber Defense Centers adds to NTT DATA’s expansive cybersecurity footprint, with more than 40 security operations facilities across 50 countries. The company continues to invest in advanced AI, cyber resilience, and secure digital infrastructure to help clients build long-term digital trust while defending against modern threats in real time.
