The recent cyber-attack on e-Citizen, a vital online Kenyan Government services platform, underscores the pressing need to bolster cybersecurity in the digital age.
The attack, likely carried out using sophisticated techniques, raised concerns about data breaches and service disruptions, impacting citizens and government operations alike.

Raising cyber awareness among citizens is crucial, teaching them to identify phishing attempts and safeguard their information. Collaborative efforts and information sharing between governments and sectors can aid in identifying emerging threats swiftly.
Adequate investment in cybersecurity infrastructure, including advanced technologies and dedicated response teams, is imperative to ensure a resilient defense against cyber threats.
