NTT DATA and Booz Allen Hamilton to Strengthen Cybersecurity Capabilities in Singapore

Collaboration aimed at driving advanced cyber defence through intelligence-led security, organizational and operational transformation, and joint research to address industry challenges

Singapore, 12 June 2025 – NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and technology services, recently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) to strengthen cybersecurity solutions in Singapore and the broader Indo-Pacific region. This collaboration will address current and emergent industry challenges faced by clients in areas including threat intelligence, zero trust, and advanced automated threat protection and prevention technologies.

By combining Booz Allen's and NTT DATA's extensive cybersecurity research and innovation capabilities, this collaboration will explore opportunities to develop and extend research efforts into common areas, which will leverage AI in cybersecurity and malware engineering.

Selected specific areas for collaboration will involve both parties' senior researchers working closely together to deliver innovative solutions. The collaboration will also prioritize key advanced and emerging security domains such as advanced threat detection. This will be achieved through the implementation of knowledge-sharing initiatives and accelerated learning programmes designed to enhance expertise and elevate mutual capabilities in critical areas. Furthermore, expertise from NTT DATA and resources from Booz Allen will be utilized with an aim to extend the reach of the collaboration across the region.

In Singapore, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) revealed in its first Singapore Cybersecurity Health Report that only about 70% of local organizations have adopted their recommended cybersecurity. While government agencies globally such as CSA are still urging full adoption of cybersecurity measures by organizations, joint efforts from players in the technology industry serve as a resource to bridge that capability gap. This MOU brings together subject matter experts, critical resources, and cutting-edge technology from both organizations to develop new services and solutions tailored to addressing specific cybersecurity challenges in the Singapore market.

Png Kim Meng, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore, NTT DATA, commented, "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. As the digital landscape evolves, robust solutions and capabilities are essential for a successful cybersecurity strategy. Together, we are well-positioned to advance our clients' cybersecurity priorities, particularly in critical areas such as AI, malware engineering, and threat intelligence."

Garrettson Blight, Vice President, Booz Allen, commented, "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. Together with NTT DATA, we strive to introduce, deliver, and support a range of advanced cybersecurity solutions from threat intelligence to zero trust. We look forward to contributing to increased security and resilience in Singapore and the broader Indo-Pacific region."

This collaboration underscores our shared commitment to strengthening cybersecurity resilience, empowering businesses to navigate evolving digital risks with confidence.
