The government is implementing cyber security governance to safeguard the country’s digital landscape in line with the Computer and Cybercrime Law.
The National Computer and Cybercrime Coordination Committee (NC4), a multi-agency outfit established by the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, is coordinating the training in partnership with Huawei.
Over 200 officers have benefited from the training, equipping them with knowledge and skills necessary to drive the government’s digitalisation and e-services agenda.
The adoption of cloud technology is no longer an option but a necessity for governments, businesses, and organisations globally.
However, with these advancements come heightened risks to data security, privacy, and integrity. Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, and the need for robust cloud security measures has never been more critical.
The government is keen to mitigate against cyber risks that come with technological advancement, including attacks that pose danger to critical infrastructure and sensitive data.
The digital economy is a key pillar of the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, and all government departments and agencies are expected to implement strong cybersecurity measures to protect data, secure communication networks, and defend sensitive information against cyber threats.
Huawei-Kenya Deputy CEO for Public Affairs, Mr. Steven Zhang, said the collaboration builds on previous trainings on cybersecurity governance and aligns with Kenya’s National Cybersecurity Strategy.
