KnowBe4 African Cybersecurity & Awareness Report 2025

Revealing Critical Cybersecurity Trends & Vulnerabilities Across Africa

New research shows cybercrime concerns have doubled, yet dangerous gaps remain between awareness and action.

This comprehensive survey of 800 working professionals across seven African countries (Morocco, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt, Kenya and Botswana) reveals striking insights into the continent's evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Key Findings That Demand Attention:

Cybercrime concerns have nearly doubled – 58% of respondents are "very concerned" about cybercrime (up from 29% in 2023)
Mobile financial services usage surged to 85%, creating both opportunities and security challenges
The confidence paradox exposed – 83% believe they can recognise security incidents, yet 53% don't know what ransomware is
Personal data sharing risks increasing – those "very unlikely" to share personal information dropped from 29% to just 14%

What This Means for African Organisations:
The report reveals Africa's unique cybersecurity challenges, including widespread mobile adoption, blurred boundaries between work and personal devices and the emerging threat of AI-powered attacks.
