Research record
Abstract / overview
This report examines the externally observable email and web security posture of institutions across East Africa. The assessment focuses on defensive indicators such as email-authentication configuration, transport and certificate hygiene, selected web-security controls and recurring exposure patterns that can be addressed through practical hardening.\n\nThe report is intended to support institutional security planning, benchmarking and remediation discussions without publishing sensitive organisation-level findings indiscriminately. Access is provided on request.
