The fast technological growth of Kenya can not avoid some downside.
According to the agency published Serianu research in collaboration with the United States University of Kenya and on the basis of a survey of Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC), Kenya is one of the nations most defenseless against possible hacker attacks.
According to research, in the past year hackers have lost the coffers of Kenyan institutions and individuals over 170 million euro.
These data arrive on the desks of their own government in the midst of the digital revolution of the institutions, implemented by President Kenyatta as the main deterrent to rampant corruption that has made it the most "dirty country" of the continent.
"In a country where trade is moving towards digital and online market movement reaches even higher levels than those of certain European nations, companies in Kenya are in the midst of paradox, too late and too risky to go back but few guarantees in proceeding with his head, with obvious risks of their business whether it accepts the challenge of the era of the Internet, whether you want to continue in the traditional way "
This is the comment of researchers, on the other hand there are the assurances of the department of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) in Nairobi.
"The Government is very active and is already acting in the right direction to be at Passo with other countries under cyberattack - said General Secretary Joe Mucheru - given that the main problem remains the theft of large sums of money by the Taxes KRA (about 40 million euro only in 2016) ".
