Why Cyber Security Matters Right Now in Kenya
Your phone, your bank account, your social media — they’re all targets. Every single day, hackers try to steal data from Kenyans like you. Businesses across Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret, and beyond are desperately looking for people who can protect their digital assets. The good news? Cyber security jobs are booming, and you don’t need years of IT experience to start learning.
But here’s the real question: Is cyber security actually for you? If you’re not 100% sure, that’s exactly why MTTI created the Cyber Security Fundamentals course.
