NTT DATA and Rubrik have announced an expanded global partnership aimed at enhancing ransomware protection and cyber recovery particularly for Fortune 500 companies.

The collaboration will focus on offering advisory and consulting services, implementation and integration support, and managed services powered by Rubrik.

These services are designed to help organisations prepare for cybersecurity responses before, during, and after a cyber incident or ransomware attack, addressing evolving requirements for cyber resilience across on-premises, SaaS, and cloud environments.

As part of the enhanced partnership, NTT DATA and Rubrik will provide Ransomware Protection Services based on zero trust guidelines. This offering aims to deliver robust ransomware remediation and aid organisations in achieving business resilience against ransomware attacks, malicious insiders, and operational disruptions. The solution is now accessible globally.

Hidehiko Tanaka, Head of Technology and Innovation at NTT DATA, stated, "At NTT DATA, we recognise the critical importance of cyber resiliency in today's digital landscape. Our expanded partnership with Rubrik will significantly enhance our ability to provide robust security solutions to our clients worldwide."

"As cyber threats continue to evolve, it is imperative that we stay ahead by leveraging advanced technologies and strategic collaborations. This partnership will enable us to deliver comprehensive cyber resiliency services, ensuring that our clients' data remains secure and their operations resilient against any form of cyberattack."

Ghazal Asif, VP, Global Channel and Alliances at Rubrik, commented, "As a trusted and longstanding strategic partner, Rubrik is proud to expand our collaboration with NTT DATA for cyber resilience."

"Together, we will empower hundreds of organisations with differentiated offerings that ensure rapid recovery from ransomware attacks and other cyber threats, no matter where their data lives."

NTT DATA has been enhancing its global cybersecurity strategy since December 2023, focusing on providing comprehensive cybersecurity solutions through services such as strategy formulation, consulting, integration, and incident response.

This strategy aims to address the diverse cyber risks faced by customers across 15 globally unified technical areas.

This ongoing pursuit to keep abreast of cyber threats includes adopting cutting-edge technologies and fostering global collaboration with partners. It ensures that multinational companies receive consistent cybersecurity support, despite regional differences in business environments, resources, languages, cultures, and regulations.

NTT DATA plans to continue leveraging Rubrik's capabilities to fortify its ransomware countermeasure services, thus supporting more companies in sustaining their business operations confidently.
