Firm Ushers In Smart Cybersecurity For Nigeria

A cybersecurity company, DevSecFlow, has hosted stakeholders from the fintech and cybersecurity sectors at an exclusive executive breakfast session themed “Beyond Compliance: AI-Powered Resilience for Nigeria’s Financial Future” to present a system suitable for cybersecurity in Nigeria.

The firm disclosed at a meeting with stakeholders in Lagos, recently. Delivering the keynote address, the Chief Executive Officer, DevSecFlow, Francis Ofungwu, noted that the future of cybersecurity in Nigeria lies not just in regulatory compliance but in building intelligent, responsive systems that understand our local context and respond with speed, scale, and precision.

According to Ofungwu, DevSecFlow has developed an advanced Security Operations (SecOps) platform (SECOYA), designed to help financial institutions and highly regulated organizations streamline their security operations through intelligence, clarity, and control, in response to the increasing complexity of cyber threats facing Nigeria’s digital economy.

“The SECOYA platform handles critical cybersecurity functions such as threat hunting, incident response, and alert triage with greater accuracy and endurance than human analysts. It reduces manual workflows, provides 24/7 protection and still requires human oversight and governance to ensure transparency and ethical safeguards,” he said.

Speaking on the broader challenges in Nigeria’s cybersecurity ecosystem, Co-Founder, DevSecFlow, Abdel Sy Fane, said SECOYA was built to address these issues by embedding security seamlessly into existing workflows and powering it with AI that understands both user behavior and operational context.

Fane added that SECOYA’s SecOps automation capabilities enable teams to focus on real threats, while its accessible design ensures that even SMEs with limited resources can deploy enterprise-grade protection at scale.

“We built SECOYA to solve the trust and collaboration gaps we kept seeing across tech teams. Real security does not just come from tools, it comes from understanding how people work and then designing systems that support and elevate them without getting in their way,” he said.
