Kenya Cyber Security Report 2015
Kenya Cyber Security Report 2015
About the Report
The Kenya Cyber Security Report 2015 was researched,
analysed, compiled and published by the Serianu Cyber Threat
Intelligence Team in partnership with PKF Consulting and the
USIU’s Centre for Informatics Research and Innovation (CIRI), at
the School of Science and Technology.
Data Collection and Analysis
The data used to develop this report was obtained from
different sources including; surveys and interviews with
different stakeholders; several sensors deployed in Kenya and
review of previous research reports.
The sensors are non-intrusive network monitoring devices
that perform the function of monitoring an organisation’s
network for malware and cyber threat activities such as bruteforce attacks against the organisation’s servers. In an effort
to enrich the data we are collecting, we have partnered with
The Honeynet Project ™ and other global cyber intelligence
partners to receive regular feeds on malicious activity within
the country. Through such collaborative efforts we are able to
anticipate, detect and identify new and emerging threats using
our intelligent analysis-engine. The analysis-engine assists in
identifying new patterns and trends in cyber threat sphere that
are unique to Kenya.
Partnerships through the Serianu CyberThreat Command
Centre (SC3) Initiative are warmly welcomed in an effort to
improve the state of cyber security in Kenya and across Africa.
This initiative is geared towards collaborative cyber security
projects in academia, industry, commercial and government
organisations.
