The Security Challenges Facing Kenya's Financial Services
Fintech and microfinance institutions face mounting pressure from regulators, cyber threats, and rapid digital transformation—all while trying to maintain customer trust.
As Kenya's financial sector continues to innovate, security risks evolve just as quickly. Cloud adoption, GenAI experimentation, and expanding digital services create new attack surfaces. Meanwhile, regulatory expectations grow more stringent, and customers demand absolute protection of their financial data.
- Security programs that don't scale with rapid business growth
- Cloud misconfigurations and weak identity controls creating exposure
- Limited logging and visibility into security posture across systems
- Vendor and third-party risks without adequate governance frameworks
- GenAI adoption without controls, risking data leakage and regulatory scrutiny
“Trust is built on control, visibility, and repeatable security practices.”
In regulated financial services, security isn't just about protection—it's about demonstrating governance and earning stakeholder confidence.
