Commvault’s Global SHIFT Roadshow Makes East African Debut

Commvault, a global leader in cyber resilience and data protection, today announced that its acclaimed SHIFT Roadshow will make its East African debut in Nairobi on 12 September 2025. The event will bring together cybersecurity professionals, global thought leaders, and regional decision-makers at JW Marriott to address the critical cyber resilience challenges facing Kenya’s rapidly digitalising economy.

Global Pedigree Meets Local Relevance

SHIFT takes place across 40+ cities worldwide, spanning countries including the USA, Romania, UAE, Turkey, and Egypt, establishing itself as the premier global roadshow for cyber resilience education. Nairobi’s selection marks a significant milestone as Commvault recognises East Africa’s strategic importance in the continent’s digital transformation journey.

Kenya is at the forefront of Africa’s digital revolution, with its mobile money innovations to cloud adoption across both public and private sectors. However, with this digital acceleration comes increased exposure to sophisticated cyber threats. SHIFT Nairobi is set to equip regional IT leaders with proven, global best practices tailored for the East African market.

While Kenya’s digital transformation is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, the nation is also experiencing a surge in exposure to ransomware attacks, AI-enhanced threats, and dynamic regulatory requirements. SHIFT Nairobi will directly address these challenges through comprehensive sessions, making a financial case for being cyber-resilient, and showcasing successful customer examples and boardroom conversations on how to justify investment.

Strategic Partnerships Made For Local Impact

The event features Commvault’s proven format of keynote presentations and technical deep dives, enhanced by strategic partnerships with regional technology leaders such as Computech, TFC, and Mitsumi. This collaboration ensures content is specifically contextualised for the East African market dynamics and regulatory environments.

SHIFT Nairobi will feature a distinguished lineup of global and regional experts, delivering insights on emerging threat landscapes specific to East Africa, with best practices from global SHIFT events adapted for context. It will amplify cyber resilience as Commvault’s leadership shines through.
