You know I have always been thinking on what kind of AI security product can be built to solve some of the security issues we have in Africa especially in the Fintech space.
This year we have recorded breach upon breach within fintech organisations from Remita to UBA etc.
I came up with an idea and a question, what if we can minimise this damage from the codebase even before it gets deployed and that's when @offshield_ai (Offshield AI) idea came in.
This is not your regular SAST tool neither is it your regular AI scanning tool. Offshield AI is built different.
Offshield AI is an IDE code extension that can be integrated into your codebase either both VScode or Cursor AI @cursor_ai ,
This is the way it works, do you know how wired it is to send your whole code to a third party software or simply connection your code to an external testing tool ,
Offshield is reducing the risk of leaking out your source codes to an external party, Offshield Ai is built to test your code locally while there is a Licence code you will have to input in your code editor before it ever runs any test for it (the licence is subscription based/30days).
Offshield AI is solving the problem of having your code to external party, and we also help mitigate the vulnerabilities in your codes right from the development stage before you deploy.
More news is coming soon regarding Offshield Ai ๐๏ธ
A major PHP vulnerability is letting attackers take over websites with no login. Sites are going offline.
Patch is out - check your site now:
Does your site use PHP ?
Updated to the latest version ?
Checked for suspicious activity ?
If not updated, contact your host today.
Zero-click spyware is real.
Candiru infected 45+ Al Jazeera devices just through targeted ads โ no click needed, just loading the ad.
Stay safe:
- Update devices & browsers
- Use an ad blocker
- Use reputable security tools
Just browsing is no longer risk-free.
AI remediation (next layer) Each finding is designed to include an AI-generated remediation suggestion.
For privacy reasons this uses a local AI model via Ollama (running on the same machine). The model is pulled and executed locally so code and findings stay inside the environment.
Still taking time to install for the real testing, but yeah its going to come out well.
Once Ollama is set up (ollama pull llama3.2), it will start giving practical fix suggestions in real time.
A SaaS tool that will be used privately in organizations to audit their codes and perform SAST in real time without having to have the fear of their vulnerability being leaked out to the public especially for the Financial Sectors, while having access to their own code base and not directly linked to any third party application or whatsoever, so this way there wont be any form of data breach or data loss directly to the public as everything being checked remain in their environment as they own it.
NOT EVEN WE, WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE CODEBASE.
@offshield_ai
Financial institutions demand absolute control over their code and software supply chain.
OffShield Security delivers autonomous, AI-driven code protection engineered specifically for banking and fintech infrastructure.
Do you back up your important files regularly ?
Yes / No / Sometimes

backups shouldn't be after you lose something.
So make sure to backup your important files regularly.

Just wrapped our session on Cybersecurity Leadership with Dr @ireteeh
Biggest takeaway: leadership isn't a title or knowing the most technically. It's how you communicate, solve problems, influence decisions and show up for others.
Thank you to everyone who joined!!
God whatever I did to you to make you love me this much I need to know so I can put in more effort towards that aspect... because the kind of deals and opportunities that has been coming in lately in this Tech security thing is a blessing ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
Gabriel Odusanya is a 21 year old cybersecurity professional. Founder of OffShield Security (@offshield_ai ) . Application security engineer. Educator. The work is offensive-driven application and product security, and training people who are just getting into the field.
He has trained over 300 students on how to actually start in cybersecurity. He trained the 20 students who recently graduated from the fully funded scholarship at TechAccess Foundation(@Techaccessfound ) .
He is the cybersecurity facilitator at Grazac Academy (@grazacng ) and also owns a YouTube channel focused on application security for beginners. He has worked inside organizations as a security engineer and as CTO, securing their infrastructure, not writing theory.
At API Shield Summit 1.0 he won the cybersecurity quiz and the hackathon. That gave him three API security vouchers: ACP, CASA, and ASCP. He is CASA and ACP certified. He is waiting on the ASCP result. He does security research.
In 1 year 9 months he has built a name off output, not job titles.
This is what Gabriel Odusanya wants the world to know and see. A 21-year-old from this side of the map who did not wait for a senior role before teaching, testing, and shipping. Someone who puts beginners into AppSec with their hands on real applications.
Someone who can sit in a room as an appsec engineer or CTO and secure what is already live. Someone collecting API security credentials because that is the work he does CASA done, ACP done, ASCP next. Someone whose YouTube, classroom, and research are the same person: break the app, explain the break, train the next person to find it.
Not a generic cybersecurity profile. Application security. Offensive work. Training. Research. Proof in public. That is the picture.
If you are building something, a product, a team, a cohort, a fintech, an academy, whatever it is
Gabriel Odusanya is a go to. Letโs work together.
