NTT DATA and Booz Allen Hamilton have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cybersecurity capabilities in Singapore and the Indo-Pacific region. This strategic partnership will focus on threat intelligence, zero-trust architectures, and AI-driven automated threat protection to tackle pressing digital threats.
The collaboration will see senior researchers from both firms co-leading initiatives in AI-in-cybersecurity and malware engineering. Key areas of focus include advanced threat detection and zero-trust frameworks, supported by knowledge-sharing initiatives and accelerated learning programmes to build regional cybersecurity talent.
The partnership aims to address the 30% capability gap identified by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore’s first Health Report. This gap highlights the need for increased adoption of recommended cybersecurity measures among local organisations. By leveraging NTT DATA’s market presence and Booz Allen’s global resources, the alliance seeks to bridge this gap and enhance security resilience across the region.
Png Kim Meng, CEO of NTT DATA Singapore, remarked, “This MOU brings together NTT DATA’s cybersecurity expertise with Booz Allen’s exceptional tradecraft and resources to deliver innovative solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by our customers.” Garrettson Blight, Vice President of Booz Allen, added, “Our collaboration with NTT DATA is an exciting opportunity to scale our services and solutions to address the most pressing current and emerging challenges facing our clients in Singapore and beyond.”
This partnership underscores a shared commitment to empowering businesses to navigate evolving digital risks with confidence, contributing to increased security and resilience in Singapore and the broader Indo-Pacific region.
