NTT DATA Launches Six AI-Based Cybersecurity Headquarterss

JAKARTA NTT DATA announced the launch of six Cyber Defense Centers (CDC), the latest generation autonomous centers designed to strengthen cybersecurity and cyber threat prevention.

Four of the latest-generation autonomous CDCs have started operating in India, to be precise in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Noida, and Mumbai. Meanwhile, two other centers will launch in the near future to expand their global reach.

The two additional centers are scheduled to open in Birmingham, England, in December 2025 and in Dallas, USA in January 2026. By launching the CDC, NTT DATA is trying to switch from a still traditional security system.

The CDC was built using Agectic AI for SecOps and a Generative AI (GenAI)-based threat orchestration. This technology was able to accelerate investigations by up to 60 percent and significantly reduce the number of threat notifications by 90 percent.

This system works by learning from previous incidents and the knowledge of experts to automate, filter, and prioritize warnings. This method can accelerate incident responses, contain threats more quickly, and ensure compliance with data privacy regulations in each region.

"This latest generation cyber defense center expansion helps us meet global demand for AI-based cybersecurity services, faces AI-powered threats, and supports the digital transformation of clients from edge to cloud," said Charlie Li, Head of Cloud and Security Services of NTT DATA, in a statement on Monday, December 8.

Despite utilizing AI, the CDC still uses human expertise in dealing with cyber threats. The AI agent in this cybersecurity strengthening model is only able to assess, analyze, and look for potential incidents independently.

The global network from the CDC is supported by more than 40 service operational centers in more than 50 countries. These centers work closely with regional CERT and government agencies to help clients meet local data and AI privacy regulations.
