In 2025, the financial sector faced a staggering 742 million attacks in just six months, a 60% surge that places platforms like Deriv at the center of an existential digital war. Deriv’s leadership has identified a critical matrix of risks, including account takeovers, API gaps, and P2P fraud. Traditional security is failing because it is reactive; by the time an analyst patches a breach days later, the damage is done. Prometheus-Siren flips this paradigm by shifting from human-speed defense to AI-driven autonomy. Built on a stack of Qdrant, Gemini AI, and XGBoost, the system identifies the semantic intent of an attack rather than just matching old signatures. It catches novel SQL injections and obfuscated payloads in real-time. Using Kubernetes sidecars, it makes blocking decisions in sub-seconds, maintaining Deriv's strict <500ms latency. Most importantly, it self-heals: Gemini AI generates and deploys validated patches in under an hour—a process that usually takes days. Once a threat is identified, "global immunity" is shared across all Deriv instances within seconds. With a 94.6% detection accuracy and a 400% ROI in Year 1, Prometheus-Siren transforms security from a massive cost center into a self-paying asset. It reduces the zero-day vulnerability window from days to seconds, ensuring that Deriv stays ahead of attackers while slashing operational costs by $500K annually.
