NTT West and NTT Smart Connect launch zero trust security services

NTT West and NTT Smart Connect have launched a new managed service designed to support the implementation and operation of zero trust security environments for corporations and local governments. Starting October 29, 2026, the service provides a one-stop solution covering procurement, construction, operation, monitoring, and help desk support.

The service utilizes security functions from Zscaler Inc., including access control, alongside identity management (IDP), endpoint detection and response (EDR), and data loss prevention (DLP). By integrating these various security components, the service aims to reduce the operational burden on IT departments facing complex security requirements and shortages of specialized personnel.

Both NTT West and NTT Smart Connect are certified Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) partners by Zscaler. They intend to leverage their practical expertise, gained from managing their own zero trust environments, to assist clients in building customized security architectures.
