Knowledge drags along with-it power, skill, wealth and an overall better view and approach to life issues It is based on this fact that one of the greatest investments in a society is education. The more input into education, the more output it brings. Governments and organizations alike have included education as a basic human right in them constitutions, rules, policies and statutes. Technology has swiftly and with an immense pace taken over every aspect of the society, and education is no exception. It has been used to augment the traditional teaching methods. Technology is a facilitator in several ways, by generally introducing new models and especially in a teacher-learner-content circle. The impact of technology cannot be underestimated; it has the power to alter the model of teaching by introducing a new approach to teaching. The model offers a link between facilitators and the student with content, and professional sources of educational materials to personalize the learning process. The end result of learning is to gain experience. At this note therefore, an individual should always change and alter the thinking habits to the surrounding environment.

    (management university of africa, 2022-08) NGIGI KIMANI JOSEPH
    This study focuses on the impact of cybersecurity in Kenya; a case study of Securest Technologies Ltd located at Kikuyu town. The objectives of the study were to determine how cybersecurity is an essential element to consider when setting up an organization. It is also to provide solutions to cyber-attacks that may be experienced in organizations of they are not well secured. The attacks may include hacking of the organization's accounts, hacking their websites, phishing the organization’s workers to get credentials that might lead to exploitation of the organization. During the study, I focused much on the manager of the institutions because the institution mostly deals with matters to do with cybersecurity, digital forensics, data recovery, web development, domain registration and also domain renewal. I also examined some few workers at the company whereby some were students who were being mentored by the CEO of the organization. The people there expressed the importance of cybersecurity in organizations whereby they were campaigning on the importance of securing your organization across the internet where organizations always face cyber bullying most of the time. The founder of the organization worked as a cybersecurity professional where he campaigned of the risks that are facing an organization that does not keep its systems safe from cyber-attacks. I came to define that many attacks that are experienced in organizations especially large organizations happen through the internet for example hacking of the organizations compared to physical attacks for example when robbers rob organizations physically and take whatever they may require. The study defined that cyber security plays a major role in securing organizations from malicious attacks that might affect organization’s computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems and also organization’s data. The government should create awareness to all organizations by creating campaigns to show people the importance of cybersecurity in our nation.
