Kenya's National Computer Emergency Response Team, KE-CIRT/CC, recorded over 11 billion cyber threat events during the 2025/26 financial year. This marks a significant increase from previous years. The data was released by the Communications Authority of Kenya.
The figures highlight a growing challenge for Kenya's digital infrastructure. The number of detected threats rose sharply compared to the previous reporting period. The data includes a range of cyber incidents such as phishing attempts, malware infections, and unauthorized access attempts.
This surge in cyber threats follows a pattern of increasing digital activity in Kenya. As more businesses and individuals rely on online services, the risk of cyber attacks has grown. The government has been working to improve cybersecurity measures, but the scale of the threat remains a concern. The data underscores the need for stronger digital security policies and public awareness.
