The rapid process of digitisation of services has changed economies, altered social relationships and changed the governance processes across geographies. It has, however, exposed people, organisations, and governments to numerous cyber threats. This paper discusses the relationship between digitalisation of services and cyber exposure by the use of the desk review method. Using international reports and focusing on global, African and Kenyan research, the paper has been able to identify a similar pattern nationally and internationally: although digitisation contributes to efficiency, it also increases the number of chances to get hacked, particularly when the cybersecurity capacity is lower than expected. Cybercrime has been on the increase in Kenya, especially in the areas of finance and e-commerce, as well as government services. In conclusion, the paper will argue that to make digital transformation as sustainable, there is a need to mainstream cybersecurity in digital transformation policies
