Discourse: Hugh Njemanze, the CEO and Creative Mind behind Anomali, Shares Insights in an Exclusive Interview
Anomali, formerly known as ThreatStream, has rebranded as it continues to make strides in the threat intelligence sector. Founded by Hugh Njemanze, a veteran in the cybersecurity industry who previously worked with ArcSight, Anomali has been providing threat intelligence for security tools, specifically security incident and event management (SIEM).
In recent years, the number of companies in the threat intelligence space has been on the rise. Anomali stands out with its practical and efficient approach to threat intelligence. The company's platform is integrated directly into various tools, notifying businesses and protecting their networks within minutes after a threat is identified.
Anomali's library contains over 75 million indicators of compromise, a catalog built from identifying IP addresses used for malicious activity. This vast database is growing at a rate of 39% per month. The company's threat intelligence data is designed to provide a higher level context of the adversary and their motivations.
For smaller to medium-sized businesses, Anomali has launched the Anomali Threat Analysis Reports Service. This cloud-based service offers SMBs without SIEM or threat intelligence capabilities a tool to quickly identify and respond to threats. On the other hand, Harmony Breach Analytics, launched for mid-to-large enterprises, is designed to strip out unnecessary data and return only relevant indicators of compromise.
The traditional process of using threat intelligence can be manual and time-consuming, involving research and emails between different teams. Anomali aims to streamline this process by automating threat analysis and delivering actionable insights.
Anomali's threat intelligence services have proven effective, as seen during the Anthem breach. Within a few days of the incident, Anomali's platform was used by over 300 healthcare organizations.
The company believes that threat intelligence platforms will be judged based on their effectiveness for businesses, not just data curation. Anomali's rebrand is seen as a better umbrella for the company's products, reflecting this focus on practicality and efficiency.
The Anomali Threat Analysis Reports Service provides a dashboard about the nature of a campaign when clicking on indicators of compromise. This service is part of Anomali's commitment to providing context and understanding, not just data, to its clients.
Despite the rebrand, some details about the company's history remain elusive. Mark Seward, for instance, is not identified in the provided search results, and the year of Anomali's founding is not mentioned in the retrieved data. Nevertheless, Anomali continues to make its mark in the threat intelligence sector, offering practical solutions for businesses to protect their networks and respond to threats quickly and efficiently.
