    USIU-Africa and the Cyber Security Institute (CSI) have signed a memorandum of understanding that will see both institutions offer research and innovation, training and capacity building programs in cybersecurity. 

    USIU-Africa Vice-Chancellor Prof. Paul Zeleza said the partnership will see both USIU-Africa and Cyber Security Institute leverage each other’s resources, knowledge base and unique perspectives to innovatively solve cybersecurity challenges in the country as Kenya increasingly strengthen its capacity to respond to technology and data security issues.

    “The recent launch of Kenya’s Huduma number and the reported opportunities and challenges bring to the fore need for concerted efforts in providing safe use of technology in driving national development. We believe this cooperation will see us advance cybersecurity education programmes and research to enable us to contribute to the technological growth in the region”, Prof Zeleza said on Tuesday.

    “We cannot take lightly the fact that we live in an age fraught with digital and cyber risks. It is for this reason that we were keen to partner with USIU-Africa,” said Dr. Mark Matunga, Cyber Security Institute’s chief executive.
