Defendis, a Moroccan cybersecurity startup with an innovative approach to Threat Intelligence, emerges from stealth with the launch of its AI-powered platform, enabling organisations to proactively contain data leaks and neutralise cyberattacks.
Defendis’s approach goes beyond traditional IOCs by providing banks, government agencies, and businesses with the capability to understand what cybercriminals are doing before an attack. The platform taps into AI to identify credentials and payment card leaks, asset vulnerabilities, phishing attacks, fraudulent domains, and online brand impersonation attempts.
“Our mission is to provide organisations, 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.
