THE NATIONAL KE-CIRT/CC



The Kenya Information and Communications Act, 1998, mandates the Communications
Authority of Kenya (CA) to develop a national cyber security management
framework through the establishment of a national Computer Incident Response
Team (CIRT).

OUR MANDATE



The Kenya Information and Communications Act (KICA) of 1998, mandates the
Authority to develop a framework for facilitating the investigation and
prosecution of cybercrime offences. It is in this regard, and in order to
mitigate cyber threats and foster a safer Kenyan cyberspace, that the government
established the National Kenya Computer Incident Response Team – Coordination
Centre (National KE-CIRT/CC) which was officially launched in 2014.

The National KE-CIRT/CC is a multi-agency framework that coordinates response to
cyber security matters at the national level in collaboration with relevant
actors locally and internationally. The National KE-CIRT/CC, which is domiciled
at the Communications Authority of Kenya, comprises of technical staff from the
Authority and various law enforcement agencies.

The National KE-CIRT/CC detects, prevents and responds to various cyber threats
targeted at the country on a 24/7 basis. It also acts as the interface between
local and international ICT service providers whose platforms may be used to
perpetrate cybercrimes, and our Judicial Law and Order Sector which investigates
and prosecutes cybercrimes.

The enactment of the Computer Misuse and Cyber Crimes Act (CMCA) in 2018 has
further enhanced the multi-agency collaboration framework through the
establishment of the National Computer and Cybercrimes Coordination Committee
(NC4). Under the CMCA, and following the enactment of the Computer Misuse and
Cybercrime (Critical Information Infrastructure and Cybercrime Management)
Regulations in 2024, the role of the Authority has been enhanced to include the
establishment and operation of the Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) for
the ICT and Telcom Sector.


NATIONAL KE-CIRT/CC FUNCTIONS



The functions of the National KE-CIRT/CC include the following:

 * * * Implementation of national cybersecurity policies, laws and regulations.
     * Cybersecurity awareness and capacity building.
     * Early warning and technical advisories on cyber threats on a 24/7 basis.
     * Technical co-ordination and response to cyber incidents on a 24/7 basis
       in collaboration with various actors locally and internationally.
     * Development and implementation of a National Public Key Infrastructure
       (NPKI).
     * Research and development in cybersecurity.
