NTT Communications has deployed private networks and private cloud services globally, offering the high security levels that only a communications carrier can deliver. We keep our customers’ data safe and support their global business operations at the same time.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a scenario in which all sorts of physical objects have network connectivity, enabling them to be provided with sensors,for the purposes of collecting data. Currently gathering media attention, IoT technology is expected to produce innovations leading to widespread societal change.
The downside to this scenario is the potential for networked objects of all kinds to become prey to cyber-attacks. Specifically, cyber-attacks could stop the normal operations of critical infrastructure—systems that monitor and control equipment and machinery that support society, industry and the economy—leading to serious accidents and major damage.
NTT Communications will offer IoT Platform providing protection from such security risks. As a business, we will be working in partnership with our customers, helping to solve their business problems.
High Security
With an IoT Platform that offers direct connection to a private cloud instead of going via internet, at NTT Com our customers’ important data is in safe hands.
A survey*1 has revealed that the number one obstacle preventing companies from introducing IoT is security measures, or in other words, concerns about information leaks and cyber-attacks. Therefore, NTT Com’s IoT Platform will be based on a closed connection that does not go through the internet, enabling device, personal and other data to be sent and received securely via private cloud.
By pairing this platform with our managed security service, NTT Com will enable customers to outsource the security measures for their IoT environments.
IoT security menu, will also be steadily expanded.
