Internet Solutions sets up a Shs20m Cyber Threat Intelligence Centre to firms prevent cyber threats

Internet Solutions has invested Shs20 million to set up a Cyber Threat Intelligence Centre to help companies to monitor, analyze and respond to evolving cyber threats.

The CTIC will help companies in Kenya and across Africa to develop a risk-based, proactive cyber resiliency strategy that will help them prevent, detect and respond to cyber-attacks within their IT environments.

Internet Solutions says it will invest an additional Shs30 million in the next 12 months in expanding the facilities and hiring more cyber security engineers.

Cyberattacks are increasingly becoming coordinated and sophisticated, with cyber criminals targeting specific organisations, regions and customer profiles. To prevent potential financial, reputational and operational impairment occasioned by the increasing cyber threats and attacks, organisations in Kenya and worldwide are being compelled to implement early detection controls to safeguard their IT assets.

According to the Communications Authority’s quarterly report released in April this year, Kenya’s cybersecurity threats increased by 167 percent to 10.2 million from 3.8 million detected in the previous quarter. Within the same period, 12,197 cyber threat advisories were issued within the period to the affected organizations, marking a 91 per cent increase from the advisories sent out to affected institutions in the previous quarter.

Internet Solutions Head of Cyber Security Services Dr. Bright Mawudor said cyber risk has become a major concern for businesses of all sizes, across all sectors and CIOs are under increasing pressure from boards to protect their organizations against evolving cyber threats albeit with strained budgets.

“We understand how expensive and complicated monitoring, analysis and response capabilities needed to keep businesses safe can be, especially with most companies being under pressure to do more with less.  Therefore, our threat intelligence centre has been set up to help our clients to be cyber resilient in a cost-effective way,” he said.

“We offer a broad range of cyber and managed services that will help you tackle the ever-changing risk landscape. Whether it’s threat monitoring, threat intelligence, data protection, incident response and more, we have certified engineers with vast experience in identifying potential gaps in your security controls as well as identifying any unknown attackers on your network,” Mawudor added.

Operating on 24/7 daily basis, the centre will provide a real-time cyber security service tailored to each company, based on Internet Solution’s cross-industry expertise. He noted that understanding the risks to your business, and knowing who might attack you, and why, play a key role in preventing financial or reputational damage from a cyber incident.

According to Mawudor, there is no way to completely protect a business from a determined attacker, so it is critical to provide continuous monitoring to protect your organization.

“Our threat monitoring managed service works by leveraging the client’s existing security investments, consuming their output into our state-of-the-art analysis platforms, and correlating and combining them to identify risks beyond the capabilities of their individual technologies. Our unrivaled delivery capability operates 24×7, combining our specialist team’s experience and knowledge of your business to review and mitigate potential threats before they have an impact,” Mawudor emphasized.
