NTT DATA partners with Swimlane to deliver low-code security automation in the UK

NTT DATA has announced partnership with low code automation specialist Swimlane, which it claims will "reduce risks for UK business".

Swimlane Turbine uses low-code automation to extend visibility and actionability beyond security operation centres (SOCs).

The partnership comes just as a recent Forrester Consulting report revealed that extended detection and response (XDR) adoption is currently very slow.

The research says 75 per cent of security decision-makers are still in the "discovery stage" of their efforts to adopt security automation capabilities .

Swimlane and NTT DATA say they will tackle this challenge by delivering a modern Security Orchestration, Automation and Response Solutions (SOAR) solution to businesses.

"There are hundreds of solutions in the market, but Swimlane stands out as a trusted low-code security provider," said Mike Jones, VP partners & alliances at NTT DATA.

"Combined with our extensive security expertise, the Swimlane Turbine platform will form a critical part of our holistic security offering at NTT DATA.

"We pride ourselves on delivering the best service to our clients, so it only makes sense to with the best partners and cutting-edge solutions in the market."

The security challenge

Automating security is something of a growing trend, particularly as issues around the tech talent shortage and retention persists.

Earlier this week, Gartner revealed it predicts almost a quarter of leaders in cybersecurity will be leaving the sector by 2025.

Colorado-based, Swimlane, sets itself as a leader in the low-code security automation space and aims to prevent breaches and enable continuous compliance via a low-code security automation platform that serves as the system of record for the entire security organisation.

The Swimlane Turbine platform uses four technologies to combine human and machine intelligence to serve as a system of record for security.

Turbine's active sensing fabric uses greater and harder-to-reach telemetry to power automation at cloud-scale.

Autonomous integrations connect any API with the dependency on developer resources to build or maintain the integration. Domain experts can become citizen automators with Turbine's adaptable low-code playbooks.

Finally, Turbine uses a composable user interface so that case management, dashboards and reporting features provide actionable insights for a diverse stakeholder group.
