Kenyan companies are entering a new phase of cloud maturity, critically re-evaluating security and accountability across their distributed environments. This shift comes as cloud technologies are recognized as a significant cybersecurity concern.

• World Economic Forum's Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 ranks cloud technologies second only to AI in expected cybersecurity impact.
• Companies like Datacentrix, through its Security as a Service Manager Kyle Pillay, are highlighting that cloud providers do not assume all security responsibility.
• A key realization is that the "cloud shared responsibility model" requires organizations to actively understand and manage their security obligations, regardless of the cloud delivery model (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
