Nairobi is set to take centre stage in Africa’s digital transformation journey as it hosts the inaugural GITEX Kenya 2026 from 19th to 21st May, bringing global attention to the region’s evolving technology landscape.
At the heart of the discussions will be cybersecurity visibility and resilience, themes driving the participation of Censys and its partner EVAD, who will present their SOC Modernization platform.
The platform enables organisations to map and monitor their external attack surface, providing visibility into cloud assets, internet-facing systems, and exposed services that may present security risks.
This comes as Kenya advances its digital agenda through the Kenya Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2025–2030, which aims to position the country as a regional AI hub while reinforcing the need for secure digital infrastructure.
However, rapid digital transformation has introduced new complexity, with organisations struggling to maintain visibility across expanding systems and integrations.
Censys addresses this challenge through continuous discovery and enriched threat intelligence that helps security teams detect and respond to risks more effectively.
According to Vice President for Middle East, Turkey and Africa Meriam ElOuazzani, the event provides a key opportunity to engage stakeholders shaping East Africa’s digital future.
She noted that cybersecurity visibility is becoming a core requirement for sustainable digital growth.
At GITEX Kenya 2026, visitors will also be able to engage with live demonstrations and cybersecurity experts.
