It has regional headquarters in North America, Europe and the Asia/Pacific region. Together with partner companies (NTT Communications, NTT DATA and Dimension Data), it provides services throughout the security life cycle.

Product Description

A managed endpoint detection and response (EDR) offering is available via partnerships with Carbon Black, FireEye and CounterTack.

The company has seventeen 24/7 managed security services security operations centers (SOCs) globally: six in the Asia/Pacific region, five in Europe and six in North America.

Others remain on the older WideAngle and ArcSight ESM-based platforms.

Analyst View

Gartner named NTT as a Challenger in the Magic Quadrant report. The analyst firm said NTT has the ability to bundle MSS with telecommunications and IT infrastructure service offerings. It also said GMSSP has a good range of roles available, with some customization and self-service capabilities available to customers. However, the company is in the midst of a global platform integration, which may impact some customers.
