David Idris, the CEO and Founder of Glemad, an AI security and research company based in Lagos, has launched PulseADT, the enterprise platform powered by ADT, Autonomous Defence Transformers (ADT) a new class of AI models specifically pre trained for security reasoning and autonomous defense.
Key Takeaways:
• Young Nigerian Tech Inventor has developed an AI powered Cyber Defense Technology
• This Cyber Defense AI powered Technology is capable of detecting and eliminating Cyber Attacks in record time
• Glemad is positioning itself as a creator of auditable AI systems
In the fast evolving world of cybersecurity, where threats emerge at machine speed and traditional defenses often lag behind, a groundbreaking innovation has emerged from Nigeria.
Nigerian entrepreneur David Idris has developed an innovative piece of Engineering Art that uses AI to boost Cyber Defense. PulseADT is a groundbreaking new class of Artificial intelligent AI models purposely built for cyber defense. The Cyber Defense tech was launched by his company Glemad to detect Cyber attacks in real time.
This isn’t just another AI tool adapted from general purpose models. PulseADT represents a fundamental shift that comes with frontier-scale Artificial intelligence optimized from the ground up for cyber defense, moving organizations from reactive, human paced responses to proactive, machine speed protection.
As cyber threats powered by AI grow more sophisticated, solutions like ADT could redefine how businesses, governments, and critical infrastructure safeguard their digital assets.
PulseADT is purposely built with a high calibre of Computerised Hardware that traces, tracks and exposes Cyber Attacks thereby helping to maintain work safety.
PulseADT is a new cyber Digital system that is designed to provide 1st class automated Security in a much higher capacity. The Software is Designed to Use Advanced Artificial intelligence to perform Autonomous Defence Transformation by help Sensitive systems to sufficiently defend their Cyber Space and Boost their productivity.
Cyberattacks have become a daily reality across Africa and the globe. In Nigeria, banks, businesses, and government systems face relentless threats ranging from ransomware and phishing to advanced persistent threats (APTs).
Attackers leverage automation and AI to probe vulnerabilities at scale, overwhelming security teams that still rely heavily on manual monitoring and rule-based systems.
Human analysts, no matter how skilled, cannot match the velocity of modern attacks. A breach can escalate from initial intrusion to data exfiltration in minutes. Mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) remain painfully high in many organizations, leading to massive financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.
Under the Leadership of CEO and Founder David Idris the man behind ADT’s Design, Development and Deployment is an entrepreneur who is driving to Sustainable Cyber Defense Security for Cloud and Data Networks.
The Young Visionary founder is determined to safely secure Nigeria’s Cyber Space which has recently been plagued with massive cases of CyberHackers, CyberFraudsters, Internet Arsonists, Fake Ponzi Scheme Promoters, and more in Nigeria.
This Cyber Defense invention developed by the young Visionary Nigerian Founder is surely going to cause ripples in Nigeria’s Cyber Space and Boost much needed Cyber safety.
Today a high number of Nigerian organizations face a wide range of cyber attacks in Africa with an average of 4,200 attacks occuring in a week with Attackers even using AI to propagate phishing scams, cloud exploitation, and reconnaissance, far outpacing traditional human Local defenses.
Last week, SeedufyTech reported on a new upspring witnessing the Nigerian Customs Service adopting AI in revenue generation driving the push for Big for Transparent Revenue remittance through AI.
Now with, PulseADT the 1700 weekly Cyber Attacks on Nigerian Institutions and Individuals will be reduced to the barest minimum without sacrificing safety or accountability.
This invention is a very huge and great Leap for Nigeria as the country continues to develop its Cyber Defense Space. Other Countries like Kenya and SouthAfrica have made similar strides to improve their individual Cyber Defenses with new Cyber Systems such as Kenya’s Cyber Resilience Project and Computer Incident Response Team (KE-CIRT), alongside South Africa’s adoption of advanced surveillance and public-private partnerships to secure their digital economies and promote a safer cyber space.
Early deployments via Glemad’s PulseADT platform demonstrate impressive results. The system processes up to 1.8 million security events per second in scaled environments, with reports citing capabilities for 45,000 events per second in core operations. Mean detection time clocks in at just 0.8 minutes, while it autonomously resolves 95% of confirmed threats. Threat classification accuracy reaches 97%.
PulseADT, the enterprise platform powered by ADT, is already protecting over 680,000 digital assets. It integrates multiple specialized engines, including ADT Neural for reasoning, ADT Anomaly for outlier detection, and ADT-4 Pro for advanced processing. Organizations gain real-time visibility and response without requiring massive Security Operations Center teams.
Specifications that make ADT Unique
– Ability to solve 95% of confirmed threats autonomously with 97% classification accuracy.
– ADT Protects over 680,000 Digital assets in production.
– Ability to provide Deviation Detection by Spoting behavioral changes and distribution shifts that signal attacks.
– Mean Time to Detect 0.8 minutes 359 times Faster than the industry average of 287 minutes.
– Mean Time to Contain (MTTC): 3 minutes 140 times faster than the industry average of 420 minutes
– Processes up to 1.8 million security events per second.
– All actions are fully auditable, with traceable reasoning logs for compliance and oversight.
Glemad positions itself as a creator of auditable AI systems that not only detect and respond but do so transparently and reliably.
This homegrown approach is significant as Many African nations grapple with “brain drain” and reliance on foreign cybersecurity tools that may not fully address local threat landscapes or data sovereignty concerns.
PulseADT offers a sovereign-capable alternative: AI trained with awareness of regional attack patterns, regulatory environments (like Nigeria’s NDPR or emerging frameworks), and operational realities such as intermittent connectivity.
David Idris speaking to Techpoint Africa emphasized the need for defense systems that operate at “AI speed” while remaining trustworthy. In a press statement around the launch, the focus was clear: moving beyond adaptation of general AI to purpose-built models for security.
As cyber threats evolve with quantum computing, AI agents, and interconnected horizons, autonomous defense systems will become table stakes. Nigeria’s contribution through PulseADT positions the country not just as a consumer of technology but as an exporter of solutions. In an era where “move fast and secure things” replaces outdated slogans, PulseADT offers a compelling path forward.
Organizations interested in exploring PulseADT or the developer API can look to Glemad’s resources for pilots and integrations.
