Forging a More Secure Digital Nigeria.

06.11.25 05:20 PM - By Wendy Dika


At Lifu Technologies, our mission is clear: To empower African businesses with world-class security and digital transformation solutions that secure, automate, and scale the continent's digital economy. 

We continue to prove this with our clients, and one of our recent landmark demonstration, would be where we had the privilege of facilitating a deep-dive session between our partner, ZafeHouze, and the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and entire I.T leadership of one of Nigeria's largest power distribution companies. 

The agenda was critical: to explore a True Zero-Trust cybersecurity framework capable of protecting the essential infrastructure that powers the nation. 

The session was led by the co-founder of ZafeHouze, Mr Niels Anqvist who presented ZafePass, a comprehensive, install-ware cybersecurity platform that moves beyond traditional VPNs and perimeter-based security. 

In an era where critical infrastructure is a high-value target for cyberattacks, the limitations of conventional security models are glaring. ZafePass addresses this by implementing an uncompromising "Prevent-First" model grounded in the principle of "least privilege access." Its core function is to make critical systems like grid control systems, customer databases, and internal applications completely invisible to the unauthorized world. Authorized users are granted access only to the specific service they need, and only for the duration they are using it.

 

Key Takeaways from the Demo: 

  • Radically Reduced Attack Surface: By making assets invisible, ZafePass eliminates entire categories of network-based attacks. 

  • Uncompromising Security Meets Operational Efficiency: The platform is designed for "automated simplicity," requiring fewer engineers to maintain than traditional solutions, which frees up vital technical staff for strategic initiatives. 

  • Sovereign Data Control: As a 100% on-premise solution built in Europe, ZafePass ensures that sensitive operational data remains entirely under the client's control, a critical consideration for national infrastructure. 

  • Rapid Deployment: Being a software-only solution, it can be deployed within a few days without disrupting existing infrastructure. 


Driving the African Digital Transformation Forward 

This presentation was more than just a product demo; it was a testament to Lifu Technologies' commitment to introducing cutting-edge, globally vetted expertise to the heart of the African economy. By connecting innovators like ZafeHouze with pivotal organizations like Nigeria's power distributors and other national infrastructures, we are actively building a more secure and resilient digital future for the continent.
