Cybersecurity firm Censys, together with partner EVAD, will showcase its Security Operations Centre (SOC) Modernization platform at GITEX Kenya 2026, as organisations across East Africa accelerate digital transformation and face growing exposure to cyber risk.
The event, scheduled for 19–21 May in Nairobi, comes as Kenya deepens its push into artificial intelligence, cloud adoption and digital public infrastructure under its national AI strategy for 2025–2030. While the policy framework positions the country as a regional tech leader, it also highlights the rising importance of secure and resilient digital systems.
Censys said its platform is designed to help organisations continuously map and monitor their external attack surface, providing visibility into internet-facing assets such as cloud services, applications and exposed systems that could be targeted by attackers.
The company argues that rapid digital expansion has outpaced many organisations’ ability to track new systems and integrations, creating security blind spots that can increase operational, regulatory and reputational risk.
By combining internet-wide scanning with threat intelligence and historical data, the platform aims to support faster threat detection, asset discovery and incident response.
“GITEX Kenya offers a very significant platform to connect with customers and partners who are building the future digital economy of East Africa,” said Meriam ElOuazzani, Vice President for the Middle East, Turkey and Africa at Censys. “As organisations across the region rapidly adopt artificial intelligence and implement digital transformation, cybersecurity visibility and resilience become increasingly critical. Our presence with EVAD reflects this need.”
At the conference, Censys and EVAD will demonstrate the platform’s capabilities, including live use cases on attack surface discovery, threat hunting and risk monitoring, targeting security teams and enterprise decision-makers.
