CRC: Safeguarding Canada's Networks

The Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) is making networks in Canada — and around the world — more secure. Network security is an issue of national concern, affecting everything from communications and consumer transactions to healthcare and national defence. The worldwide cost of Internet attacks alone has grown steadily from $3.3 billion (U.S.) in 1997 to approximately $12 billion in 2003 (Computer Economics, Carlsbad CA). Network security is a priority for Canada, and the CRC is working with its parent department, Industry Canada, in a larger effort on this issue.
