Cybersecurity has become increasingly important to countries around the world, including Kenya, as digital threats continue to proliferate across the globe. Kenya is no exception, as the country continues to experience an increased frequency of cyberattacks and online security breaches. As a result, the government and other partner sectors have taken initiatives to heighten security measures, while also educating the public about cybersecurity practices and their increasing importance in a global society.

In recent years, several different cybersecurity conferences and events have been held throughout Kenya. These conferences serve to bring together international experts in cybersecurity as well as local stakeholders to discuss the latest security trends and challenges, and possible solutions. One example is the Kenya Information Security Conference, which is held annually and often features keynotes and other presentations from local and international cybersecurity experts.

In addition to conferences and events, Kenya also hosts several cybersecurity workshops and initiatives. These include the National Kenya Cyber Security Technical Working Group (NKCSTWG) which works to increase public understanding of cybersecurity and encourage local companies to adopt stronger cyber-defense strategies. The NKCSTWG also works to promote valuable government-sponsored cybersecurity initiatives such as the Kenya Cybersecurity Framework. Additionally, Kenya's Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Heritage has made strides to create effective and appropriate cybercrime regulations to protect Kenyans from sophisticated cyber threats.

8th July 2026 | Cyber First Nairobi 2026

Cyber First Kenya 2026 is East Africa's premier cybersecurity summit, bringing together C-level executives, technology leaders, and policymakers in Nairobi on 8 July 2026 — the inaugural edition of the series for the region.

Kenya has solidified its position as a digital powerhouse in Africa, but this growth has expanded the national attack surface, leading to a surge in sophisticated threats. Over 4.5 billion cyber threats were detected in just the final quarter of 2025 alone — a 441% year-on-year jump — with KES 29.9 billion lost to cybercrime.

DDoS attacks surged 112% year-on-year, placing Kenya third on the continent, while a 96% talent gap continues to undermine the execution of security measures despite high strategic intent.

The summit addresses these challenges through six practitioner-led tracks covering national critical infrastructure protection, regulatory governance and data privacy under the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, Zero Trust and cloud security, AI-powered threat intelligence, talent development, and cross-border geopolitical intelligence sharing.

The full-day programme features keynotes, panel discussions, fireside chats, an enterprise case study, and the inaugural Cyber First Awards East Africa — recognizing excellence across six categories including cybersecurity innovation, public sector achievement, and Zero Trust leadership.
