A banking app isn't secure just because it works. Congratulations to Team Kazungu, the Blue Team champions of #JengaSec2026 who took the top spot! Made up of four student innovators, three from Meru University of Science & Technology and one from @DiscoverJKUAT , the team took on the challenge of developing a secure banking app designed to withstand cyberattacks and minimise vulnerabilities. They put into practice a vital lesson shared by Frederick Wahome of the Kenya Cyber Security & Forensics Associations (KCSFA): build security in from day one, not after a problem occurs. Their win is a reminder that great digital solutions must do more than work. They must earn people's trust. Congratulations, Team Kazungu! #JengaSec2026 #Cybersecurity #StudentInnovation @MeruUniversity @kcsfa @SheLeadsTechke @hackthebox_eu @Isaca_kenya @LOOP_KE @NCBABankKenya

One security oversight could cost you more than a client. It could cost you your career. At #JengaSec2026, Frederick Wahome of the Kenya Cyber Security and Forensics Association (KCSFA) shared a sobering story of a young innovator whose security solution for a bank led to serious consequences after security had not been built into the system from the start. His message to student innovators? Build security in from day one, not after a problem occurs. As the hackathon continues today, the challenge is clear: don't just build solutions that work. Build solutions people can trust. #CybersecurityKenya @iLabAfrica @kcsfa @SheLeadsTechke @hackthebox_eu @Isaca_kenya @LOOP_KE @NCBABankKenya @StrathU @ZetechUni @RiaraUniversity @chuka__uni @PU_Kilifi

Security cannot be an afterthought. It has to start from day one. At #JengaSec2026, Frederick Wahome, CEO of Kenya Cyber Security and Forensics Association (KCSFA), explores why building security into systems from the start matters.
