Fortanix and NTT DATA Partner to Solve Challenges Around Data Sovereignty and Security for..........
Fortanix, a global leader in data security for an AI world, and
NTT DATA, a global leader in AI digital business and technology services, today
announced a partnership to help enterprises run secure, sovereign and compliant
AI Factories using NVIDIA Confidential Computing.
Built on Fortanix and NTT DATA’s full lifecycle managed services,
the offering allows organisations to secure advanced AI workloads and AI
Factories, while ensuring verifiable trust and data sovereignty compliance with
NVIDIA Confidential Computing and attestation services.
As Indian enterprises accelerate the adoption of AI Factories to
support large-scale AI training and inference, concerns around model and data
security, lawful processing and regulatory compliance have emerged as critical
barriers. The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, India’s
primary data protection law, imposes strict obligations on how personal and
sensitive data is collected, processed and protected, making traditional AI
infrastructure approaches insufficient for regulated environment
Fortanix
and NTT DATA address these challenges by enabling AI workloads to operate on
sensitive and regulated data within hardware-based secure environments.
Leveraging NVIDIA Confidential Computing GPUs and Fortanix’s data
security platform, the solution ensures data and AI models remain protected not
only at rest and in transit, but also while in use, providing enterprises with
cryptographic assurance that data cannot be accessed or tampered with, even by
privileged system operators.
NTT DATA’s full lifecycle managed services help organisations with
DPDP compliance advisory and architecture design, end-to-end integration of the
Fortanix and NVIDIA solution and AI governance, risk and compliance management
services.
“AI Factories represent a major opportunity for Indian
enterprises, but trust and compliance must be foundational,” said Sheetal
Mehta, Global Head of Cybersecurity Solutions and Services, NTT DATA,
Inc. “By combining NTT DATA’s AI and infrastructure security and risk
management expertise with Fortanix and NVIDIA confidential computing, we are
enabling organizations to innovate with AI while meeting the stringent
requirements of the DPDP Act and India’s data sovereignty expectations.”
The service is designed for enterprises operating in highly
regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, telecom,
manufacturing and the public sector, where data sensitivity and compliance are
paramount. Key capabilities include secure processing of personal and sensitive
data, protection of proprietary AI models and intellectual property, and
policy-based controls that help organizations demonstrate compliance and
auditabilit
“At scale, AI adoption depends on trust,” said Anuj Jaiswal, Chief
Product Officer, Fortanix. “Our solution, powered by NVIDIA, ensures that
sensitive data and AI models remain protected during computation, enabling
organizations to unlock the full value of AI while maintaining verifiable
security and compliance. NTT DATA’s service brings this capability directly to
enterprises in India.”
This new service is available to enterprises across India as part
of NTT DATA's full-stack end-to-end capabilities and business and technology
services.
