The Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) has urged Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisations (SACCOS) to intensify cybersecurity surveillance across all critical systems ahead of the long Easter weekend.
According to the SASRA Chief Executive Officer, Peter Njuguna, intelligence monitoring of the trends of cybersecurity breaches in SACCOs showed that the majority of these breaches occurred mostly during long-weekend public holidays.
He disclosed that the surveillance report equally showed that these cyber breaches were predominantly perpetrated during the last 12 hours before the commencement of the long-weekend public holidays.
In a notice dated Thursday, April 17, the regulator called on cooperatives to remain vigilant by closely monitoring their digital financial platforms and other ICT infrastructure.
