As Kenya prepares to host the first-ever GITEX Kenya 2026 in Nairobi from 19th to 21st May, attention is shifting beyond digital ambition toward a more urgent business question: how secure is the fast-growing technology ecosystem being built across the region?
That question sits at the centre of Censys’ participation at the conference, where the company alongside its partner EVAD will present its SOC Modernization platform. The focus extends beyond cybersecurity tools, aiming to help organisations gain clearer visibility of digital exposure as they adopt cloud systems, artificial intelligence, connected platforms and wider digital services across the region today.
Kenya’s technology market is entering a new phase. The Kenya Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025–2030 positions the country as a regional leader in artificial intelligence research, innovation and commercialisation, while also underscoring the need for secure and responsible digital infrastructure. For businesses, this shift means growth will increasingly depend not only on innovation, but also on trust, resilience and cyber risk management speed today region.
Censys’ platform is designed to help security teams continuously discover and secure their external attack surface. In simple terms, it gives organisations a clearer view of digital assets visible from the internet, including systems, services and potential weak points that attackers could exploit. It also enriches alerts with real-time attacker intelligence and enables faster threat hunting and incident response using internet-wide visibility and historical data across modern security environments globally today.
For many organisations, this matters because digital transformation has expanded faster than security teams can manually track. New applications, cloud services, third-party systems and remote access points create blind spots. Those blind spots are no longer just technical issues; they represent business risks that can affect customer trust, operations, compliance and growth today.
“GITEX KENYA offers a highly significant platform to connect with customers and partners who are shaping the future digital economy of East Africa today event,” said Meriam ElOuazzani Vice President 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 Censys’ presence with EVAD aligns with this requirement framework today.”
At the event, visitors will be able to attend live demonstrations of the platform, engage cybersecurity experts and explore practical approaches to improving asset discovery, threat detection and risk management strategies.
