With cybersecurity portfolio on view, Edgebase Technologies Limited is ramping up, with warning that the rapid acceleration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fuelling a new wave of threats targeting businesses across Nigeria’s financial, telecoms and manufacturing sectors.
The CEO, and the managing director of Edgebase Technologies Limited, Joel Egbai who gave the warning at the company’s 20th anniversary media briefing in Lagos, said the surge in AI-powered scams, deepfakes and digital impersonation has created an urgent need for organisations to strengthen their cyber defences.
Egbai mentioned that Edgebase is broadening its partnerships with international security firms and investing in more advanced enterprise systems and data center infrastructure to assist clients in adapting to the changing threat landscape.
”Technology is progressing swiftly, particularly with AI impacting every industry. However, this advancement also introduces new dangers. The prevalence of deepfakes, scams, and AI-driven threats is on the rise. As we continue to evolve technologically, we are simultaneously enhancing our cybersecurity offerings to safeguard our clients,” Egbai stated.
