NTT has signed a partnership with Tanium, a leading unified endpoint management and security platform provider, to provide secure, highly reliable solutions for IT, IoT and OT environments to support smart world deployments.
NTT and Tanium plan to offer their areas of expertise to provide near real-time visibility into computing devices, equipment and systems, as well as provide secure management solutions for smart world deployments (smart city, smart building, smart energy, smart healthcare, etc.) across the globe.
The partnership is designed to bring together NTT’s security anomaly detection technology for IoT/OT environments with Tanium's unified endpoint management and security platform. Together, they will help Smart City and Smart Building administrators understand the status of devices, and detect and block any anomalous traffic via a dedicated security gateway for IoT/OT devices. NTT and Tanium plan to offer this solution globally and aim to start offering this solution by March 2021.
In addition, NTT and Tanium plan to make the joint offering available to Smart Energy and Smart Healthcare businesses, helping to improve their disaster resilience and use of AI to deliver intelligent medical care.
