DIGITAL ENCODE DEPLOYS AI TO COMBAT CYBER THREATS

Digital Encode, a Nigerian cybersecurity company, has launched DEPAS AI, an autonomous artificial intelligence platform designed to help organisations identify and test weaknesses in their digital systems.
The new platform is aimed at helping Nigerian businesses respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats by providing automated security assessments and identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
DEPAS AI uses artificial intelligence to examine an organisation’s digital environment, detect potential security weaknesses and conduct controlled tests to determine how vulnerable systems may be to cyberattacks.
According to Digital Encode, the technology is designed to make cybersecurity assessments faster and more efficient while helping organisations strengthen their defences.
The company said the platform can support businesses that may not have the resources or personnel to conduct frequent and comprehensive cybersecurity testing manually.
The launch comes as Nigerian businesses continue to face growing cybersecurity risks, including data breaches, ransomware, phishing attacks and other forms of digital fraud.
Digital Encode said organisations need to move beyond reacting to cyber incidents and instead adopt proactive measures that identify vulnerabilities before criminals can exploit them.
The company also highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence in the future of cybersecurity, noting that cyber threats are evolving rapidly and require equally advanced defensive technologies.
DEPAS AI is expected to provide organisations with greater visibility into their security posture and help them prioritise vulnerabilities that require immediate attention.
Digital Encode said its goal is to help Nigerian companies improve their cybersecurity resilience while supporting the country’s broader digital transformation.
