INFRASTRUCTURE

With facilities across India, the UK and the US, NTT DATA has purpose-built these centres to defend the cloud and AI-heavy environments that its clients operate on-premises and at the edge.

The architecture is built around agentic AI for security operations. Software agents autonomously triage, analyse and hunt for threats across customer environments, automating the high-volume, repetitive workflows that have historically consumed SOC analyst capacity.

The system is designed to reduce alert volumes by up to 90 % and cut investigation times by up to 60 %, allowing human specialists to focus on complex

forensic analysis, containment and postincident response. This is AI running on private infrastructure, for the purpose of protecting private infrastructure.

The centres operate in close collaboration with regional Computer Emergency Response Teams, National Cyber Security Centres and government agencies, blending global threat intelligence with local regulatory context.

For more than 1,200 clients served across NTT DATA’ s unified SecOps platform, the model provides 24x7 detection, response and incident management through a single dashboard, backed by a global network of more than 40 delivery centres and SOCs across over 50 countries.

NTT DATA’ s approach illustrates a broader truth about on-premises AI in the data centre: the technology is not simply a workload to be run, but a layer of active, intelligent protection that must be engineered into the infrastructure itself.
