CyFrica 2023 - Kenya

Spending on cyber security in Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) is expected to grow 16.7 percent to reach $36 billion in 2023. The importance of cyber security for government and critical infrastructure in the Asia Pacific region cannot be overstated. Cybercrime is on the rise in Australia, and the new Risk Management Protocol signed off by Minister for Home Affairs and Cybersecurity Clare O’Neil in February makes it clear – being prepared to respond to a cyber incident is not enough. Ongoing risk management and operational resilience is now a regulatory expectation, not to mention a business imperative. Governments are increasingly reliant on digital technology to deliver services and safeguard their citizens’ data, and cyberattacks have the potential to cause severe disruption, financial losses, and reputational damage.
