The National Kenya Computer Incident Response Team – Coordination Centre (National KE-CIRT/CC) detected over 4.5 billion cyber threat events during the three-month period between April to June 2025.
The increase in detected cyber threats can be attributed to the increase in use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, inadequate patching of information systems, low levels of awareness about different threat vectors such as phishing and other types of social engineering attacks, hacktivism, among others.
