MINISTRY OF INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY CONCLUSION As Kenya’s remarkable ICT growth continues, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of public and private sector information across Kenya’s ICT infrastructure is of significant importance. Kenya’s National Cybersecurity Strategy serves to demonstrate the government’s commitment to improving Kenya’s cybersecurity posture and share overarching vision, goals, and objectives. Implementation of the strategy is supported by an evolving national Cybersecurity Master Plan, which has been developed to define (and ultimately govern) a prioritized roadmap of discreet cybersecurity projects. Both the strategy and master plan are critical to securing the online environment for citizens, industry, and foreign partners; increasing the Kenyan people’s confidence in online transactions, data security, fraud protection, and privacy; encouraging greater foreign investment and enhancing trade opportunities; and enabling Kenya’s broader economic and societal goals.
