NTT DATA Advanced Technology is building on more than 20 years of Oracle business experience as an Oracle-certified partner, and the three new services extend its existing INTELLILINK Hybrid Platform for Oracle offering. The company frames the launch around two needs that it says companies must address together: defense against attacks, and resilience for fast recovery once damage occurs.
The timing reflects the threat picture the company cites. In IPA's 2026 threat ranking for organizations, ransomware damage was selected for an 11th consecutive year and ranked first for a fourth straight year, while AI-related cyber risk was newly added as attackers begin using generative AI to plan attacks and search for vulnerabilities. NTT DATA Advanced Technology says the services provide a single path from assessing the current state of an Oracle environment through operational improvement and stronger backup and recovery.
Looking ahead, the company says it will advance work on Oracle AI Security Mesh, which Oracle announced in October 2026, and apply knowledge from AI-based vulnerability discovery and verification to protecting customer environments. Japan Oracle's executive officer Masaru Sano welcomed the services, saying they should support safe, stable system operation and business continuity.
