NTT Data is a finalist at the DigiCert Quantum Readiness Awards

NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, has been recognised as a finalist at the annual DigiCert Quantum Readiness Awards. The awards were presented as part of DigiCert’s World Quantum Readiness Day activities, a date dedicated to raising awareness of the cybersecurity threats quantum computing poses and the steps organisations need to take now to prepare for it.

NTT DATA was recognised as a finalist for embedding quantum readiness as an operating discipline across its insurance services platform, including:

 Comprehensive cryptographic visibility and risk mapping, using DigiCert Trust Lifecycle Manager to inventory certificates and prioritise long-lived and sensitive data flows at risk of 'harvest-now, decrypt-later' attacks.

 Practicing crypto-agility at scale, operationalising 47-day certificate lifecycles to rehearse rapid rotation, automation, and policy enforcement ahead of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) adoption.

 Engineering for hybrid cryptography and cloud governance, designing systems that combine classical and PQC modes across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, while openly sharing best practices to raise ecosystem readiness.

"At NTT DATA, we recognised that quantum readiness could not be left to chance, it had to become an operating discipline,” said Kamoda Hiroaki, Head of Security & Network Division at NTT DATA Japan.

“From building full cryptographic visibility to rehearsing agility with short-lived certificates and designing hybrid cryptography across multi- and sovereign clouds, we are embedding quantum readiness into the core of our services. This award reflects the commitment of our teams and our ecosystem partners to ensuring our customers can move with confidence into a post-quantum future.”

“Quantum computing represents both a significant advance in computational capability and a corresponding threat to the cryptographic assets that underpin digital security,” said Tim Hollebeek, VP of Industry Standards at DigiCert and Quantum Readiness Award judge, calling NTT DATA’s emphasis on operationalising agility and hybrid cryptography a rigorous and practical model of preparation.

The DigiCert Quantum Readiness Awards honour organisations that demonstrate innovation, foresight, and action in preparing for the post-quantum era.

Fortinet enhances FortiRecon to align with CTEM framework

Fortinet, the global cybersecurity provider driving the convergence of networking and security, has turned the FortiRecon platform into a comprehensive solution aligned with the continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) framework. The latest release introduces expanded internal attack surface monitoring, adversary-centric dark web intelligence, and security orchestration, all in a unified platform. These enhancements help organisations proactively identify and prioritise real-world exposures, validate risks like an attacker would, and accelerate response. “CISOs and security teams are overwhelmed by growing attack surfaces and an endless stream of unprioritised alerts,” said Nirav Shah, Senior VP of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “With the latest enhancements to FortiRecon , we’re giving organisations an attacker’s eye view of their internal and external exposures, backed by AI-powered threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, real-world validation, and automated response...

SentinelOne recognised as a 2025 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for XDR

SentinelOne, a global provider of AI-powered security, has been named a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’ for Extended Detection and Response (XDR) report* – one of only two companies with this distinction. A hundred and forty-four users reviewed SentinelOne's Singularity Platform, and 97% said they would recommend the solution to respond to threats across endpoints with AI-powered security, while 97% rated the solution four stars or better.** “With the growing complexity of cyberthreats, organisations need more than siloed security—they need AI-powered, autonomous protection that delivers real-time detection and response across their entire attack surface. Customers have made it clear that SentinelOne’s XDR provides the intelligence, automation, and efficiency they need to stay ahead of threats and secure their environments with confidence,” said Ely Kahn, VP, Product Management, SentinelOne. Gartner defines extended detection and ...

AWS: AI adoption grows 20% in Singapore

Image
Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, has found* that AI adoption continues to accelerate in Singapore. In the past year alone, 27,000 1 Singapore businesses adopted AI for the first time—equivalent to over three new adopters every hour. In sum, nearly 170,000 (48%) of businesses in Singapore have adopted AI 2 , up from approximately 143,000 (40%) a year ago. This represents a 20% year-over-year growth rate, AWS said. AI adoption is the strongest in the financial services industry (71%), followed by the technology sector ( software developers, data analytics firms, cloud service providers, and digital startups) at 70%, and healthcare at 63%. Among Singapore’s businesses that have adopted AI, 82% reported an increase in revenue, at an average increase of 19%, while 90% report significant productivity improvements. A large majority (85%) of those who have adopted AI say the technology is likely to increase their growth in the next year, and 89% expect an average of 17%...
