An American author, Richard Clark once said, “if you spend more on coffee than on IT security you will be hacked. What is more, you deserve to be hacked.” In today’s interconnected world, the digital landscape has become an inevitable part of people’s daily lives.
Furthermore, the increased cybercrime against insufficient cyber security skill sets calls for an urgent need to bridge the skill gap in the country. For instance, in Kenya today, there are only 1,700 certified cybercrime professionals, according to the Computer Society of Kenya against thousands of businesses that have a digital presence.
