Cybersecurity awareness training for employees in Kenya
Kenya's fast-growing digital economy, from mobile money to online banking, gives criminals plenty of targets. Most attacks on organisations work by fooling an employee, which makes staff awareness training one of your strongest defences.
What Kenyan organisations are up against
- Phishing and fake login pages for email, banking and payroll systems
- Fake supplier invoices and requests to change bank or M-Pesa details
- SIM-swap fraud and impersonation of senior managers
- Ransomware and data theft
- Data protection breaches that must be reported to the ODPC within 72 hours where there is a real risk of harm
What good awareness training covers
- Spotting phishing emails, SMS and WhatsApp scams
- Verifying payment and account-change requests through a trusted route
- Passwords and multi-factor authentication
- Handling personal data under the Data Protection Act, 2019
- Safe use of AI tools at work
- Reporting incidents quickly
Who should be trained
All staff need the essentials. Finance, HR, customer service and executive assistants face the most targeted attacks and benefit from role-specific scenarios. Directors need to understand the risks well enough to own them.

Frequently asked questions
Does training help with Data Protection Act compliance?
Yes. The Act requires appropriate organisational measures to protect personal data, and documented staff training is one of the clearest ways to show them.
Can the training be claimed from NITA?
NITA reimbursement applies to approved training under its own rules. Paleon Training's programmes are not NITA-approved courses, so do not budget on a NITA claim for them. See our guide to the NITA levy for details.
Do staff receive a certificate?
Paleon Training issues its own certificate of completion. Our programmes are not accredited qualifications and do not carry credits on any national qualifications framework.
