Johannesburg-based cloud tech company Deimos has teamed up with Salus Cloud to develop an AI-powered security framework that automates key DevSecOps processes.
Built on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, the proof of concept (PoC) streamlines security operations and cuts deployment cycles to just five minutes.
Why it matters
As Africa’s digital economy surges—projected to contribute $712 billion to GDP by 2050—businesses scaling in the cloud face growing cybersecurity challenges.
Traditional DevSecOps struggles to balance speed and security, often leading to vulnerabilities and costly delays.
The big picture
- The AI-driven framework automates vulnerability remediation across multiple programming languages.
- Intelligent workflows proactively identify and mitigate risks, strengthening applications against cyber threats.
- Developers gain more time to focus on innovation, while ensuring faster, more secure deployments.
What they’re saying
- “By embedding AI into Salus Cloud’s CI/CD pipeline, we’ve helped automate and secure critical processes, from vulnerability patching to code quality enhancements,” said Jaco Nel, CTO at Deimos.
- “AI is a game-changer for DevSecOps,” added Deen Hans, Senior Principal of Software Engineering at Salus Cloud.
What’s next
As Salus Cloud scales, its AI-powered security framework could set new industry benchmarks—helping businesses secure cloud applications faster and more efficiently than ever before.
