Vision: Safe and trusted cyberspace for the people of Kenya
PREAMBLE
Cybersecurity continues to draw considerable
attention from Governments across the world.
This is because, most services today are
dispensed through ICT systems that are in use
in all sectors of our economy. The adoption of
these technologies has also seen steady growth
in cybercrime in the recent times. Notably, the
dynamic nature of cyberspace and constantly
evolving tactics of perpetrators continue to
pose serious risks to peace and stability of our
nation.
To respond to this, it has become increasingly
necessary for the Government of Kenya to

secure her cyberspace. The Government thus,
Cabinet Secretary,
has continued to develop and implement Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination
of National Government
initiatives to combat increasing cybercrimes
and strengthen the safety and resilience of
our national critical systems. The initiatives
include policy formulation and reviews, enactments of laws and regulations,
strengthening of governance structures, capacity building, increased awareness
programmes and fostering collaboration.
To sustain these cybersecurity efforts, the Government has developed the
second National Cybersecurity Strategy setting our priority areas, goals and key
interventions. The strategy recognizes the cross-cutting nature of cyberspace
and the need for coordinated and collective action from all sectors. In this regard,
all stakeholders are encouraged to cooperate and support the Government in
creating a more secure environment for our business and day to day activities.
