The National Kenya Computer Incident
Response Team – Coordination Centre (National KE-CIRT/CC) detected over 2.5 billion cyber threat events during the three-month period between
January - March 2025.
This represented a 201.85% increase from the threat events detected in the previous period,
October - December 2024.
Inadequate patching of systems, low user awareness of various threat vectors, including phishing and other forms of
social engineering attacks, and the increasing use of AI-driven attacks and machine learning technologies are
among the reasons for the rise in cyber threats that have been detected.
