Protecting Kenya's Financial Infrastructure from the Most Targeted Sector in East Africa

Financial services organisations in Kenya face the highest volume and sophistication of cyber attacks on the continent. From mobile money fraud to SWIFT system targeting and CBK compliance mandates — the stakes are existential. A single breach can cost millions in losses, regulatory fines, and reputational damage that takes years to recover from.

Mobile money fraud and SIM-swap attacks on M-Pesa platforms
Ransomware targeting core banking systems and data
CBK Cybersecurity Guidelines compliance obligations

Telecommunications
Defending the Infrastructure That Connects Kenya's Digital Economy

Telcos sit at the centre of Kenya's digital infrastructure — making them a high-value target for nation-state actors, criminal groups, and competitors. A compromised telco means compromised subscribers, SIM-swap fraud at scale, and potential access to the communications of millions of Kenyans.

SS7 and network-layer attacks on telco infrastructure
SIM-swap fraud enabling mobile banking account takeovers
Subscriber data breaches and GSMA compliance obligations
Supply chain attacks through network equipment vendors
DDoS attacks targeting network availability

Government & Public Sector
Protecting Kenya's Critical Public Services and Citizen Data

Government institutions manage Kenya's most sensitive data — citizen records, tax information, national security systems, and critical infrastructure control systems. They face targeted attacks from nation-state actors, hacktivists, and organised criminal groups, often with limited security budgets and legacy infrastructure.

Energy & Utilities
Securing Kenya's Power Grid and Critical Infrastructure from Cyber Threats

Energy and utility companies operate the infrastructure that Kenya's economy depends on — making them a priority target for nation-state actors and sophisticated criminal groups. Attacks on OT/ICS environments can cause physical damage, service outages, and national security implications.

OT/ICS and SCADA system attacks targeting operational technology
IT/OT convergence creating new attack paths into critical systems
Ransomware targeting utility billing and management systems
Nation-state reconnaissance of critical infrastructure
Third-party vendor access introducing risk to OT networks
Threat Level High
Healthcare & NGOs
Protecting Patient Data and Humanitarian Operations Across Kenya

Healthcare organisations and NGOs hold sensitive personal and health data that is highly valuable on dark web markets, and often operate with limited IT security budgets and awareness. Ransomware attacks on healthcare systems can directly impact patient safety — making security a mission-critical concern.

Patient data breaches and Kenya Data Protection Act obligations
Phishing attacks targeting clinical and administrative staff

Find the Right Solution for Your Situation

Not sure which services you need? Start with the business problem you are trying to solve.

Business Need 01
We Need to Achieve or Maintain Compliance

Your organisation is facing a compliance deadline, a regulatory audit, or needs to achieve a certification. You need a partner who can navigate the requirements and build a programme that satisfies both the regulator and reduces real risk.

POPIA alignment for organisations with South African operations
Business Need 02
We Need to Understand and Reduce Our Risk

You know your organisation has security gaps but you don't know where the most critical ones are, how likely they are to be exploited, or what to prioritise with a limited budget. You need an honest assessment and a practical roadmap.

Security maturity assessment — where do we stand against our sector?
External attack surface discovery — what can attackers see about us?
Penetration testing — which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable?
Risk register and prioritised remediation roadmap
Board-level risk reporting and security investment justification
Business Need 03
We Need to Be Ready to Respond When an Incident Happens

You accept that a breach is possible — and you want to minimise the damage when it happens. You need a tested response plan, a team you can call immediately, and the forensic capability to understand what happened and prove it in court if necessary.

IR retainer — guaranteed response SLA with a pre-assigned analyst team
IR tabletop exercise — test your team's response before a real incident
Incident response plan design and documentation
Digital forensics capability — court-admissible evidence if needed

Business Need 04
We Are Deploying AI and Need to Secure It

Your organisation is deploying AI systems, large language models, or ML-powered applications — and you need to understand the security risks they introduce. Traditional security testing doesn't cover AI attack surfaces.
