OTTAWA — Canada’s auditor general has found the RCMP and other agencies tasked with dealing with cybercrime are under-equipped and under-resourced to deal with crimes that are generating millions in profits to criminal gangs.
“We found breakdowns in response, coordination, enforcement, tracking, and analysis between and across the organizations responsible for protecting Canadians from cybercrime,” reads the auditor general’s report tabled in Parliament this morning.The auditor looked closely at the RCMP, Communications Security Establishment, CRTC and public safety department to see how they were handling the issue. It found that all of the agencies were understaffed.
“We estimated that almost one third of positions across all teams were vacant. In our view, having a plan to reduce human resource gaps across all responsible organizations is an important component of an updated National Cyber Security Strategy,” reads the report.
