The digital economy poses various new threats to developing economies, particularly those that are beginning to digitize the integration of digitization into their economies. It is possible that the rapid digitization of developing regions may jeopardize consumer privacy. One of Africa's leading digital economies is Kenya, which is also the first to offer a new digital economy solution that combines FinTech, e-Government, and e-Commerce. With the increased interconnectivity of these systems, Cybersecurity threats and challenges have also increased. For this reason, the primary focus of this research initiative is to establish a Cybersecurity framework for Kenya through a number of subsequent steps. Existing Cybersecurity publications will be analyzed in-depth and systematically to justify the claims and address the issues of insufficient relevant research/policy publications. The coverage of this area will encompass the Cybersecurity-related legislation created by Kenya, namely the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act of 2018 and Kenya's Data Protection Act of 2019. Despite the fact that there has been some legislation in Kenya, the gaps in enforcement, financing, public awareness, and the training of personnel have been the most detrimental to Kenya's Cybersecurity development. Kenya's Cybersecurity will involve an analysis of changes that emerging technologies will bring to Cybersecurity and the subsequent changes that will occur in Kenya's Cybersecurity, and will also provide specific recommendations pertaining to the development of a better Cybersecurity in Kenya, including a call for a more robust involvement from the Kenyan Government.
