Palo Alto Networks and NTT DATA launched a multi-year global strategic alliance. The partners aim to generate $1 billion in joint business. They expect to reach this goal by the end of 2029. This agreement represents Palo Alto Networks' first strategic partnership of this scale with a global systems integrator.
The collaboration combines Palo Alto Networks' cybersecurity platforms and Unit 42 threat intelligence with NTT DATA’s consulting, engineering, and managed services. NTT DATA currently provides over 2,000 certified professionals to support the initiative. Both companies have committed to joint engineering investments.
NTT DATA will receive early access to new Palo Alto Networks platform features. Initial solutions focus on six key areas, including autonomous security operations, AI governance, identity security, and cloud security posture management. The alliance primarily targets clients in the financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and public sectors.
