Goal 3: Foster Information Sharing and Collaboration
Objective: Develop a comprehensive governance framework to leverage resources, reduce conflict and
duplication of effort, and work toward Kenya’s long-term cybersecurity goals
Cybersecurity is a complex, multidisciplinary challenge that requires coordination across a wide array of
stakeholders. Therefore, implementing the Strategy requires developing a comprehensive governance model
that includes meaningful participation by relevant stakeholders, working together toward the common goal
of securing Kenya’s cyberspace. Through this governance framework, the Government of Kenya intends to:
■■ Develop the required laws, regulations and policies required to secure the nation’s cyberspace;
■■ Solicits stakeholder input and feedback, as appropriate; and
■■ Balance information security, privacy considerations and economic priorities.
Cultivate a culture of information sharing that facilitates the real time exchange of cybersecurity information
Successful implementation of the Strategy requires the sharing of cybersecurity information (crossorganizational and cross-sector) in a trusted and structured manner. The Government of Kenya will develop
and manage a secure information-sharing capability to promote knowledge and lessons learned among
relevant stakeholders.
Goal 4: Provide National Leadership
Objective: Develop and Coordinate Implementation of the National Cybersecurity Strategy and Master Plan
Enhancing Kenya’s cybersecurity posture is a top priority for the Government of Kenya. As such, the Government
of Kenya will continue to provide a single, unified agenda that will guide all relevant national stakeholders.
Specifically, the ICT Ministry will:
■■ Continue to refresh the Strategy (vision, goals, and objectives), as required and establish a tactical
roadmap for achieving national cybersecurity objectives; and
■■ Use the Strategy, and complementary Cyber Security Master Plan to identify and implement relevant
cybersecurity initiatives, in conjunction and in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
