Subject: [kictanet] Re: Kenya Draft Cybersecurity Strategy 2025 to 2029 - Public Participation Call
 

This is a great initiative, and public participation is crucial in shaping a cybersecurity framework that protects Kenya’s digital ecosystem. The fact that this strategy will guide cybersecurity until 2029 means it needs to be both forward-thinking and adaptive to emerging threats like AI-driven cyberattacks, deepfake scams, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

A few key considerations:

  1. Data Protection & Privacy – How does this strategy align with Kenya’s Data Protection Act? Will it ensure better compliance and enforcement?
  2. Cybercrime Enforcement – Strengthening legal frameworks is important, but how will the government ensure effective enforcement against digital fraud, online exploitation, and other cybercrimes?
  3. Public-Private Collaboration – Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Does the strategy outline ways for businesses, tech communities, and the government to collaborate on cybersecurity initiatives?

I’ll definitely go through the draft and share my thoughts. Thanks for sharing, Mutheu 😊
