Kenyan companies are facing a surge in cyberattacks at a scale never witnessed before. While reported cyber incidents declined in the third quarter of 2025, data from the Communications Authority of Kenya shows that the National KE-CIRT/CC issued nearly 20 million cyber threat alerts, a 15.53 percent increase from the previous quarter. The spike exposes an uncomfortable reality. Even though organisations are investing in stronger systems and monitoring tools, cybercriminals are innovating at a faster pace and exploiting vulnerabilities across every sector.
