Kenyan enterprises are urged to bolster their cyber defenses and implement early warning systems as cyber threats continue to surge, leading to significant financial losses. Many companies migrating to cloud services are reportedly ill-prepared for sophisticated attacks.

• Kenyan firms lost an estimated Sh11 billion in 2023 due to cyberattacks, according to the Communications Authority (CA).
• Commvault Regional Vice President for Emerging Markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Fady Richmany, emphasized the need for preparedness due to massive financial and reputational losses.
• Cyber threats increased by 201.7 percent to 2.5 billion in the third quarter of the financial year to March 2025, up from 840.9 million in the previous quarter.
• Commvault is working to strengthen resilience in Kenyan firms by deploying a unified, cloud-native system powered by Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) for faster data recovery.
