Hugh Njemanze, CEo of Arcsight, Anomali and hugh njemanze

One of america's finest technologist. he worked in the counter terrorist organisation in the united states as an executive.

A large number of companies have been categorized as being in the “threat intelligence” space in recent years.

This comes with a blessing and a curse, as while more knowledge is preferred to none, the sector has come under fire for the demands required to work with the added data. One company that has carved out a niche within threat intelligence is Anomali, formerly ThreatStream.

The company will mark three years in business in 2016 and its core proposition is on threat intelligence being provided for security tools, specifically security incident and event management (SIEM). Founder and CEO Hugh Njemanze came from that sector, working with ArcSight prior to its acquisition by HP, and he told Infosecurity that it was threat intelligence feed vendors focused on delivering the actual threat information, while it identified that many users operate next generation firewalls and point product, but he said that no-one was doing direct integration, and it saw an opportunity for enterprises to collaborate on security threats among each other.

“So if a group of banks want to collaborate from a legal standpoint, it looks like sharing information, so they need a set of tools that are structured to share security information rather than business information,” he said. “Especially within verticals where the business stands to benefit. Over 300 healthcare orgs signed up for our platform within a few days of the Anthem breach: when something happens then they pay attention to something it should have been doing all along.”

He explained that threat intelligence is about identifying the IP addresses used for malicious activity, and building a catalog for external anonymous traffic and knowing what you can do about it.

“You can think of it as indicators of compromise as when you have traffic going through your network, you have internal traffic and you have a lot of context but you don’t really know much else, such as the role or person accessing you,” he said. “It could be a list of URLs used for phishing, or websites used as watering holes. So it is a list of ‘knowns’.”

Njemanze likened it to the Department of Homeland Security no-fly list: which are the IP addresses you should be scared of? “We integrate into the tools and within minutes after a threat is identified, you are notified and live and protecting your network,” he said.

“More threat intelligence is interesting, but not useful until you add it to your technology to utilize it. No-one cares about five million domains associated with malware, but businesses want a higher level context of the adversary and their motivations.”

One criticism of threat intelligence is that it creates more work for the business, and Njemanze agreed saying that the process in a lot of companies is: get the email; do research into a bunch of different portals; craft an email to SOC team and say ‘go look for these domains’; and then they get a report back to the CEO for the all clear. This is a manual process and doing this with direct integration was more practical.

This week, ThreatStream rebranded as ‘Anomali’ to show a difference from its product of the same name. It also launched the Harmony Breach Analytics for mid-to-large enterprises, and the Anomali Threat Analysis Reports Service for small to medium sized businesses.

Mark Seward, vice president of marketing at Anomali, said that it identified a huge problem and a sub-problem in the marketplace as the increasing number of active indicators of compromise provided by threat intelligence organizations around the world, and it has collected enough threat intelligence to provide over 75 million indicators of compromise in in our library and threat intelligence data was growing at 39% a month.

Seward said: “This caused a lot of companies to ask how valuable threat intelligence is, and as well as tracking threat intelligence for SIEM and collecting security relevant data and Active Directory data, all the data is pushed into the SIEM and creates the correlation between the data and along comes a raft of data that the SOC teams push into an overburden system."

“What you need to do is pull out five indicators of compromise and go into the SIEM and have what is relevant to your organization. Harmony can strip out data and compare it to our library and return it to you to allow you to process it in a normal way. It correlates the 75 million indicators of compromise against the indicators inside your log data, and returns to you what is relevant and ongoing data in that fashion.” Harmony will be available in mid-April.

Also launched this week is the Anomali Threat Analysis Report service for SMBs, where there is no SIEM or way to process threat intelligence data. “It is a kind of in-cloud SIEM, but we don’t call it SIEM as we don’t do workflows,” Seward said. “They can run so it knows the bare minimum of the breach and communicates with the IP address that is owned by a known bad actor and links in a report for the indicators of compromise and when they click on it, they get a dashboard about what sort of campaign this is a part of.

“Someone told me ‘most companies are selling to the top 1% who have a SOC, threat intelligence and SIEM, and people on staff’, so we thought it was better to sell to the 99% and this will help with the security posture of everyone.”

Finally, the rebrand is a big step, and Seward said that as it has a product called ThreatStream and now two more products, Anomali seemed to be the best umbrella and it resonated well with customers.

“We’re not moving out of the threat intelligence space, we just think it is a relevant critical buying process and eventually threat intelligence platforms will be judged not on curating data, but on what works for the business,” Seward said.

Empire Energy Limited, MD/CEO BENNETH KORIE

is a Limited liability Company, wholly Nigerian owned, and fully registered at the corporate Affairs Commission Abuja, in 2007, as a Petroleum Exploration, Refining, Haulage, Distribution and Marketing Company. By dint of hard work, as well as hard earned credibility and reputation for Unadulterated products, the company has expanded its branch network from its previous head office in Jos to cover the prime Commercial cities of Lagos, Port Harcourt, Owerri, Warri and Jos while its head office is situated in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, where the company is quickly earning a reputation for being the most efficient and competitive source of unadulterated petroleum products: LPFO, AGO (Diesel), PMS (Petrol), LPG (Cooking Gas) and DPK (Kerosene).

The Company is registered with the Directorate of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) & Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC). Thus, we have the advantage of obtaining our products from their refineries as well as NNPC depots nationwide. We have valid DPR –Depot licence and DPR-licence for all our filling stations.
We have developed partnerships with Societe Nigerienne Des Produits Petroliers (Niger Republic) and Petroholland Refining Inc. (Nederland/Singapore) to import products from these countries.

Our diverse wealth of experience in the downstream sector of Oil and Gas spans over (23) Twenty Three years and we guarantee quality products and constant availability.

Our state of the art Petroleum depot is situated along Suleja-Kaduna road and its ambience and serene environment is very neat and stress free

Our depot has the capacity of storing about ten (10) million litres of Petroleum products and as such there is constant supply and availability of products all year round.

The best price by quality and quantity (Q &Q) is offered to our esteemed customers

We offer competitive prices for all our products with zero tolerance for depletion and lag which is consistent with the appropriate flashpoint and densities that will prevent tear and wear of heavy duty equipment and promotes their longevity thereby reducing unnecessary costs associated with breakdown due to the use of adulterated products.

Chinedu Onyia, MD/CEO Parsifal Partners

How does Parsifal Partners differ from its competitors?
Parsifal Partners is a consulting and strategy firm designed to do three things. The first is to provide consulting services. Through this, we provide strategy, business plan development, turnaround assistance, business-process engineering and re-engineering, supply chain management, and revenue assurance. Our target sectors for these services include the following: financial services, manufacturing, energy, real estate, and infrastructure. We have also taken on a few assignments that have allowed us to broaden our scope to include technology and agriculture. Our choice in target sectors is important, because we believe much of the future opportunity for this country lies within these. Technology, in particular, is very interesting because it allows you to leapfrog your problems—just look at what happened in Asia. Our second service is our advisory business, which is basically financial intermediation. We match needs for capital with sources of capital. We help businesses to access the right form of capital for their needs. There is a large market for that here, because, unlike more developed countries, the breadth of capital sources, though growing, is still limited. The third aspect of our business is origination. Here, one of our first initiatives was to establish a wealth management firm, Fiducia Capital. There's a bit of history behind the name but, in summary, Fiducia is translated from the Italian word for trust. Fiducia Capital is an SEC-registered portfolio and fund manager. Ike Onyia leads this aspect of our business, having garnered the relevant experience and track record in that industry, including starting two successful firms from scratch. This combination of consulting and financing has translated, for our target market, into a compelling case. We also pride ourselves on the intellectual capacity of our faculty to engage in finding solutions for our clients. Furthermore, we provide senior-level, hands-on commitment on our projects, which is a key differentiator.
What is preventing Nigeria from fully adopting a strategic vision when it comes to business?
There are several answers. Decision-making is influenced by our country's historical and cultural circumstances. For a long time, we largely operated on a short-term basis, as reflected by our planning methodology (three-year, short-term rolling plans). This was also reflected in our financing sources, whereby three-year financing was deemed to be long term in nature. This is all changing now. First, we have enjoyed some form of political stability having undergone four electoral processes since 1999. These all assist to enshrine democracy, and you can see the results in the evolution in the planning methodology of most public institutions; the federal government and Lagos State in particular all are developing and implementing long-term visions. Next, we need to understand that the profile of several institutions in Nigeria is entrepreneurial and these individuals are approaching a natural stage whereby decisions of reinvestment in the business and/or succession are predominant. When you reach this point, you're forced to think long term. The spate of reforms is also contributing positively to the reorientation to long-term planning. For example, with the reforms in the power sector, the various actors are all planning long term; the federal government has developed a detailed road-map and some states like Lagos have pushed the envelope with even more aggressive plans in this sector.
“Political stability provides the peace of mind that stimulates demand from the populace."
How do you see communications between the federal government and Lagos' state government? Are they harmonic?
There are issues, but they are no different than you what you would find elsewhere. On serious issues, they tend to agree. On issues such as security, sovereignty of the country, and safety of citizens, there is no doubt that the federal and state governments agree. Of course, political influences emerge once in a while. It also helps that, despite existing challenges, we are dealing with a more stable environment. Democracy, as a form of governance, re-commenced in 1999, and one of the first challenges was to successfully transition from one democratic government to another. As democracy matures, so will relationships between different arms of government.
How does government stability influence your sector?
It influences the consulting and investing sectors in several positive ways. Political stability provides the peace of mind that stimulates demand from the populace, such as the demand for improved products and services. This in turn provides the right type of pressure on the elected officials for them to perform. Once you are in this situation, there is adequate scope for seeking professional assistance such as ours. Political stability also provides the platform for innovation, which is a key driver of development. Nigeria is at that point in its development whereby there is a congruence of high demand for products and services, low infrastructure base, positive reforms, and a growing awareness, particularly among the majority younger members of the populace. It's a challenge but a positive one that Nigeria and our sector can take advantage of.
Is there any particular sector that is in particular need of foreign investors?
In spite of the well-known need to diversify the economy, the energy sector remains critical to Nigeria, particularly oil and gas. The industry's value chain comprising upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors requires a significant injection of capital. The scale of capital required, on an ongoing basis, is best obtained from a variety of sources, local and, clearly, international. The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), when passed into law, will help to define the fiscal regime, sanctity of contracts, and essentially facilitate access to long-term capital commitments by all stakeholders. The recently promulgated Nigerian Local Content Act has already provided one of the pillars to ensure the swift development of this sector and Nigeria as a whole. The speedy passage and implementation of this legislation will provide the other key pillar and should herald much-needed investment into this sector. If you stretch the definition of energy, you will also want to include the power sector. Nigeria has recently been rebased as a $500 billion economy. This has been achieved on a government-generated output of 3,000 MW of power for 170 million people—power is produced privately and inefficiently through private generators. Imagine if we grew to 20,000 MW. The size of the economy could easily be worth upward of $750 billion. The energy sector is also attractive to foreign investors because it has the full support of the government, hence the reforms. This provides comfort for investors. Furthermore, some of the economic fundamentals are all in place; strong and growing demand. Consulting firms like ours provide invaluable local knowledge for players in this sector. In terms of other sectors, we think agriculture is also a big one. Because of our demographics, food security is going to be a major issue, as it is globally. The Agriculture Ministry has done a lot of work in providing the framework that investors can and are taking advantage of.
Does this also provide for employment generation?
Exactly. The development of each of these sectors provides for several layers of employment opportunities across each value chain.
Nigerians are known worldwide for their peculiar entrepreneurial-minded spirit. But many, especially among those living in rural areas, are still not aware of the opportunities available out there. How can financial inclusion and literacy be achieved?
A number of attempts have been made by the regulators to broaden the spectrum of people included in the financial services universe. For example, the cashless economy initiative, designed, for example, to promote the use of debit cards in business transactions, is gaining momentum. The concept of mobile money transactions is catching on here as well. There is a lot of effort being placed on financial inclusion. Around 60% of our population is below the age of 50 years old, and they are very tech savvy. Whether they are educated or not, they know how to use a phone, which could be a platform for achieving financial inclusion as happened in Kenya.
How can the regulatory framework be improved to suit your business and the people's need?
With the appropriate monetary and fiscal policies in place, regulators in the financial services sector can provide guidelines to encourage a variety of service providers to include providers of long-term capital. Right now, short-term lending is readily available through the commercial banks and, perhaps, to the high end of the market. Financing requests below this tier experience challenges in obtaining even short-term loans. SMEs drive and determine economic growth, therefore financial intermediation has to broaden, and appropriate institutions such as investment and merchant banks, microfinance banks, and private equity and venture capital have to emerge. These institutions are appropriately structured to support the capital demand of both large and smaller businesses whose activities will develop the economy. I think we are heading in the right direction, because it is almost like a chicken and egg situation. The early asset-divestment programs generated transactions that initially struggled to obtain local financing. While there were costs borne by those transactions, the finance sector—both local and foreign—learnt valuable lessons. As this practice has evolved into broader reform programs, there's now more appetite for financing and this is reflected by the profile (local) of several of the successful bidders for privatized assets. However, there's still need for more adequate capital sources, e.g. private equity and venture capital. We're also encouraged that this segment of the financing sector in Nigeria is also growing. We just need for it to develop faster.

Hugh Njemanze, CEo of Arcsight, Anomali and hugh njemanze

One of america's finest technologist. he worked in the counter terrorist organisation in the united states as an executive.

A large number of companies have been categorized as being in the “threat intelligence” space in recent years.

This comes with a blessing and a curse, as while more knowledge is preferred to none, the sector has come under fire for the demands required to work with the added data. One company that has carved out a niche within threat intelligence is Anomali, formerly ThreatStream.

The company will mark three years in business in 2016 and its core proposition is on threat intelligence being provided for security tools, specifically security incident and event management (SIEM). Founder and CEO Hugh Njemanze came from that sector, working with ArcSight prior to its acquisition by HP, and he told Infosecurity that it was threat intelligence feed vendors focused on delivering the actual threat information, while it identified that many users operate next generation firewalls and point product, but he said that no-one was doing direct integration, and it saw an opportunity for enterprises to collaborate on security threats among each other.

“So if a group of banks want to collaborate from a legal standpoint, it looks like sharing information, so they need a set of tools that are structured to share security information rather than business information,” he said. “Especially within verticals where the business stands to benefit. Over 300 healthcare orgs signed up for our platform within a few days of the Anthem breach: when something happens then they pay attention to something it should have been doing all along.”

He explained that threat intelligence is about identifying the IP addresses used for malicious activity, and building a catalog for external anonymous traffic and knowing what you can do about it.

“You can think of it as indicators of compromise as when you have traffic going through your network, you have internal traffic and you have a lot of context but you don’t really know much else, such as the role or person accessing you,” he said. “It could be a list of URLs used for phishing, or websites used as watering holes. So it is a list of ‘knowns’.”

Njemanze likened it to the Department of Homeland Security no-fly list: which are the IP addresses you should be scared of? “We integrate into the tools and within minutes after a threat is identified, you are notified and live and protecting your network,” he said.

“More threat intelligence is interesting, but not useful until you add it to your technology to utilize it. No-one cares about five million domains associated with malware, but businesses want a higher level context of the adversary and their motivations.”

One criticism of threat intelligence is that it creates more work for the business, and Njemanze agreed saying that the process in a lot of companies is: get the email; do research into a bunch of different portals; craft an email to SOC team and say ‘go look for these domains’; and then they get a report back to the CEO for the all clear. This is a manual process and doing this with direct integration was more practical.

This week, ThreatStream rebranded as ‘Anomali’ to show a difference from its product of the same name. It also launched the Harmony Breach Analytics for mid-to-large enterprises, and the Anomali Threat Analysis Reports Service for small to medium sized businesses.

Mark Seward, vice president of marketing at Anomali, said that it identified a huge problem and a sub-problem in the marketplace as the increasing number of active indicators of compromise provided by threat intelligence organizations around the world, and it has collected enough threat intelligence to provide over 75 million indicators of compromise in in our library and threat intelligence data was growing at 39% a month.

Seward said: “This caused a lot of companies to ask how valuable threat intelligence is, and as well as tracking threat intelligence for SIEM and collecting security relevant data and Active Directory data, all the data is pushed into the SIEM and creates the correlation between the data and along comes a raft of data that the SOC teams push into an overburden system."

“What you need to do is pull out five indicators of compromise and go into the SIEM and have what is relevant to your organization. Harmony can strip out data and compare it to our library and return it to you to allow you to process it in a normal way. It correlates the 75 million indicators of compromise against the indicators inside your log data, and returns to you what is relevant and ongoing data in that fashion.” Harmony will be available in mid-April.

Also launched this week is the Anomali Threat Analysis Report service for SMBs, where there is no SIEM or way to process threat intelligence data. “It is a kind of in-cloud SIEM, but we don’t call it SIEM as we don’t do workflows,” Seward said. “They can run so it knows the bare minimum of the breach and communicates with the IP address that is owned by a known bad actor and links in a report for the indicators of compromise and when they click on it, they get a dashboard about what sort of campaign this is a part of.

“Someone told me ‘most companies are selling to the top 1% who have a SOC, threat intelligence and SIEM, and people on staff’, so we thought it was better to sell to the 99% and this will help with the security posture of everyone.”

Finally, the rebrand is a big step, and Seward said that as it has a product called ThreatStream and now two more products, Anomali seemed to be the best umbrella and it resonated well with customers.

“We’re not moving out of the threat intelligence space, we just think it is a relevant critical buying process and eventually threat intelligence platforms will be judged not on curating data, but on what works for the business,” Seward said.

If you want to learn igbo language, that's fine, Stop being recalcitrant and impossibly imperturbable,

Korie-okorie-okolie-okoye=got something to do with orie,
Okoro-okorobia-oko=man

Korie-okoro-oko+orie

Orie-olie-oye=one of the market days in igbo land, known as the second market day


Okorie-okolie-okoye-korie=male child born on orie, or child who shines on orie day, second market day in the whole of igbo land-igbo calendar,

This shows the variations of similarities and differences in dialects, but under the same umbrella of the igbo language,

Take note of the similar harmony in pronunciation,

Igbo bu igbo, ekene mu unu
Igbo amaka, keep the fire burning,
One love

They are doing well, but you still have to post fraudulent achievements, lie and claim other people's achievements?


You shouldn't have to steal achievements and post fraudulent facts if they really are doing well.


Makes no sense.
