Kenyan organisations faced 123.9 million cyber threats during the three months to last September, a 55.4 percent drop from the attacks detected in a similar period last year, fresh data from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) shows.

In its first quarter of the current financial year cybersecurity report, the regulator attributes the dip to ongoing spirited cyber awareness campaigns, capacity-building efforts spearheaded by the Kenya Computer Incident Response Coordination Centre (KE-CIRT/CC), and increased adoption of digital signatures.
