Glemad, a leading AI security research and products company, has introduced a groundbreaking artificial intelligence system designed to autonomously detect and respond to cyber threats. Named Autonomous Defence Transformers (ADT), the model offers organisations a faster and more efficient way to secure digital infrastructure against rising cyberattacks.
According to Glemad, ADT differs from traditional AI systems by focusing exclusively on cyber defence. The platform monitors systems in real time, analyses activities, and automatically responds to threats. “Defence must operate at the same speed as the systems it protects,” said Glemad CEO David Idris. “We built ADT to act, not to inform.”
The current version, ADT-4, uses persistent reasoning to develop a dynamic understanding of normal organisational activity. When anomalies are detected, the system classifies the threat, evaluates the response, and executes containment actions such as access restrictions or process terminations in milliseconds—all without waiting for human intervention. Every decision is logged, ensuring full auditability.
Performance metrics from Glemad show that ADT processes 45,000 security events per second, detects threats in an average of 0.8 minutes, autonomously resolves 95% of confirmed attacks, and achieves a 97% classification accuracy. The system currently protects over 680,000 digital assets and is accessible via the enterprise platform PulseADT, which integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure.
Cybersecurity experts warn that Africa is experiencing a surge in AI-enabled attacks. A recent report by Check Point Software Technologies highlighted that Nigerian organisations face the highest volume of weekly cyberattacks on the continent, averaging 4,200 attacks per week. Experts recommend adopting prevention-first strategies, including continuous risk assessments, regulatory readiness, and public-private collaboration, to mitigate these growing digital threats.
