Brussels, 10 December 2025 – NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology, has secured a contract to supply, install and maintain security infrastructure for the city of Bruges and several affiliated entities. The agreement will initially run for a period of three years with possibility for extension. In addition to Bruges, a number of other surrounding cities and municipalities, public welfare centers, police zones and hospitals will be able to make use of NTT DATA’s services under this agreement.
The contract is part of a renewed framework agreement for system infrastructure. The specific implementation will depend on the needs of the organizations that choose to participate. Throughout the contract period, the parties will assess which challenges need to be addressed and which solutions best meet those needs.
We’re seeing that securing IT systems is becoming increasingly important for local governments. Due to their central role in society and the vast amount of sensitive data they manage, they are naturally attractive targets for cyberattacks. With our innovative and state-of-the-art portfolio of security technologies – in which AI plays an increasingly prominent role – we can provide the city of Bruges and other involved parties with a powerful tool to fend off such attacks or minimize their impact.”
