A Kenyan business gets hit by a cyberattack every few minutes. Most never make the news. Most lose money, data, and customer trust — quietly.
Could yours be next?
The Biggest Cyber Threats Facing Kenyan Businesses
- Phishing emails — a fake email pretending to be your bank, KRA, or a supplier. One click and hackers are inside your system.
- Ransomware — your files get encrypted and hackers demand money to unlock them. We have seen Kenyan businesses pay hundreds of thousands of shillings.
- Weak passwords — “Password123” or “company2024” is the actual password used at thousands of Kenyan companies right now.
- Unsecured Wi-Fi — that public Wi-Fi at your favourite café? Hackers can see everything you do on it.
- Former employees who still have access — ex-staff with live system passwords. This happens more than you think.
5 Things You Should Do Right Now
- Change all your system passwords today — make them long and unique per account.
- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) on your email, banking, and social media.
- Back up your data to the cloud — automatically, every day.
- Train your staff to spot phishing emails before clicking links.
- Get a cybersecurity audit from a professional — find the holes before hackers do.
