"This is a company that understands the value of security expertise, and that it needs to be constantly cultivated in order to thrive."

As a technical division within NTT Group, NTT-AT widely adopts not only the advanced technologies of NTT laboratories but also those from across its global network and combines them to provide innovative solutions for its customers. In addition to cultivating advanced security experts, NTT-AT is focused on developing highly value-added security services and related products in order to support NTT Group's businesses.

Our partnership with (ISC)² will greatly benefit our employees, the company itself, and the larger community in Japan as we enable long-term pursuit of a safer online environment," said George Kimura, Chief Executive Officer, at NTT-AT.
