Digital Encode to Mitigate Successful AI-driven Cyberattacks with DEPAS AI
Worried about the frequency of accelerated cyberattacks on organisations, largely driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools that have hugely defrauded organisations globally, Digital Encode, has launched DEPAS AI, its fully
Digital Encode has introduced DEPAS AI, an autonomous enterprise penetration testing platform designed to counter the surge in AI-driven cyberattacks. This platform was developed in Nigeria to tackle both local and global cybersecurity threats. Prof. Adewale Peter Obadare, Digital Encode's Chief Visionary Officer, unveiled DEPAS AI during a press conference in Lagos.
The platform aims to transition organizations from periodic manual assessments to continuous, automated cyber resilience. DEPAS AI deploys a team of specialized AI security agents that operate simultaneously across an organization's entire attack surface. An agentic coordinator manages the operation, maintains comprehensive system knowledge, evaluates results in real-time, and dispatches follow-up agents for deep coverage.
Each finding is independently verified by a verification agent to minimize false positives. A proprietary chain-builder maps individual vulnerabilities into high-impact attack chains, illustrating how adversaries could exploit them sequentially. DEPAS AI is capable of autonomously testing a wide range of enterprise systems, including bespoke applications, web applications, APIs, mobile apps, backend systems, cloud environments, and network/IP infrastructure.
This is due to the alarming trend of AI tools being weaponized by attackers, allowing them to move at speeds that human teams cannot respond to effectively.
