Introduction

Defendis, a groundbreaking Moroccan cybersecurity startup, has launched its AI-powered Cyber Threat Intelligence platform at GITEX Africa. Emerging from stealth mode, Defendis aims to revolutionize how organizations contain data leaks and neutralize cyberattacks.

Beyond Traditional Threat Intelligence

Defendis's platform goes beyond conventional Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) by offering advanced capabilities to banks, government agencies, and businesses. It enables these entities to understand and anticipate cybercriminal activities before an attack occurs.

Advanced Threat Detection

The platform leverages artificial intelligence to detect a wide range of cyber threats, including:

  • Credentials and Payment Card Leaks: Identifies compromised data to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Asset Vulnerabilities: Scans for weaknesses in systems to bolster defenses.
  • Phishing Attacks: Detects and neutralizes phishing attempts before they can harm.
  • Fraudulent Domains: Identifies and mitigates risks from fake websites.
  • Online Brand Impersonation: Protects against unauthorized use of brand identity.

Empowering Organizations with Limited Resources

"Our mission is to provide organizations, especially those with limited resources and capabilities, with advanced cybersecurity solutions to adapt to the ever-changing threat landscape and regulatory requirements," says Amine Bajeddi, co-founder and CEO of Defendis.

Defendis was founded by a team of young, passionate Moroccan entrepreneurs dedicated to advancing cybersecurity.
