Cisco, Nomura Research Institute, and NRI Secure are tightening their partnership to help Japanese companies deal with a threat landscape that keeps getting messier. Cyberattacks keep rising in skill and speed, and companies now have a wider digital footprint thanks to cloud, generative AI, and everything else that keeps expanding the attack surface. The trio is basically saying that if you want real cyber resilience, you need real time global threat intelligence flowing into your defenses. That is where Cisco comes in, and this collaboration builds on that idea.
They are lining up three major work areas. First, NRI and NRI Secure will use Cisco’s security tech inside the NRI Digital Trust service. All three teams will work together on designing the right security architecture for corporate systems so companies get a tougher and more reliable infrastructure.
Second, the Cyber Fusion Center inside NRI Digital Trust will link up NRI Secure’s incident response work with Cisco’s global threat intelligence and Splunk’s data analysis platform. The goal is simple. Boost the resilience of companies by giving them deeper, faster insight. By 2025, Cisco’s threat intelligence will plug directly into NRI Secure’s log monitoring platform. After that, the three companies plan to roll out new services together.

Third, they will dive into two growing pain points for businesses. How to secure AI systems properly and how to prepare for a world where post quantum cryptography becomes a requirement. The three companies will pool their expertise to study and shape solutions in both areas.
