The 2024 2025 cyber crime report
0:09
indicates that the magnitude of cyber
0:11
attacks in Kenya has been consistently
0:14
rising over the past year leading to
0:16
losses of over 30 billion Kenya
0:18
shillings while the African continent as
0:20
a whole has lost over 650 billion
0:23
shillings. The report by cyber security
0:27
shows that the most affected sectors
0:29
include government institutions,
0:31
financial entities and business
0:33
organizations. All of which have
0:35
recorded significant losses. According
0:37
to that report, a payment fraud was the
0:39
most frequent category of attack driven
0:41
by realtime fund transfers with
0:43
transactions motor monitoring system and
0:46
social engineering. What we found out is
0:48
when you just focus on the cost of cyber
0:50
crime, you're missing very important
0:52
information on what's happening. So
0:54
cyber security is an industry on its own
0:56
and as cyber becomes an industry on its
0:58
own, it becomes critical to understand
1:01
why are people spending money, where are
1:02
they spending money and what is that
1:04
good ratio. Over the years, the findings
1:06
have sparred action in boardrooms,
1:10
inspired technical reforms, and sparked
1:13
vi vital conversations about data
1:16
privacy skills and the true cost of
1:21
This reality means that cyber security
1:24
can no longer be seen just as an ICT
1:27
issue. It is now a national security
1:30
issue. It's a public trust issue. It's
1:34
an economic development issue. So as we
1:38
expand our digital services, we must
1:41
ensure that they are secure. That as we
1:44
digitize public records, we then must
1:47
take the step to safeguard them.
