Moroccan Cyber Startup Defendis Emerges with AI-Powered Threat Intelligence Platform

Defendis, a Moroccan cybersecurity startup, has officially launched its innovative AI-powered threat intelligence platform designed to help organizations proactively combat cyberattacks and data leaks.

The platform goes beyond traditional methods by providing organizations with the ability to anticipate cybercriminal activity before an attack occurs. This is achieved through AI that scans for a variety of threats, including leaked credentials and payment card information, vulnerabilities in assets, phishing attempts, fraudulent domains, and online brand impersonation.

“Defendis’ mission is to empower organizations, particularly those with limited resources, with advanced cybersecurity solutions, ” said Amine Bajeddi, co-founder and CEO of Defendis. “This will allow them to adapt to the constantly evolving threat landscape and stay compliant with regulations. “

  • Charafeddine Nassiri (Co-Founder & CTO):Nassiri, a self-taught cybersecurity expert with a passion for the field since the age of 15, has identified and fixed over 1, 114 vulnerabilities through bug bounty programs.
