As digitization deepens, so do the threats. Cyberattacks, from ransomware to data breaches, are a significant concern for Kenyan businesses. This has made cybersecurity a critical corporate need, moving it from a technical issue to a boardroom-level discussion. Corporations are seeking:
Specialized Expertise: There is a significant shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals in Kenya. This has created a high demand for both in-house experts and outsourced security services to fill the skills gap.
Advanced Threat Detection: Solutions that provide real-time intrusion detection, automated threat analysis, and self-healing systems are becoming essential.
Employee Training: Acknowledging that humans are often the weakest link, companies are investing in cybersecurity awareness and training programs to educate their staff on best practices.
Data Privacy Compliance: Beyond general security, corporations need to ensure their systems and processes comply with the Data Protection Act, requiring robust data encryption and secure storage.
