The CCK director general, Charles Njoroge said at the meeting’s opening session that the East African region was in the process of setting up an Internet exchange portal that will ensure local traffic is kept within member countries’ borders.
“We are establishing computer emergency response teams. Kenya’s will be named KE-CERT,” said Mr Njoroge.
KE-CERT is expected to manage cyber security in the country through co-ordinated response to related incidents, awareness creation and provision of advisories among others.
