New Cyber Forensic organization created to fight cyber crimes.
An organization called NCFTA Canada has been setup in Montreal by Concordia University to fight the increasing threat of cyber crimes. National Cyber Forensics Training Alliance Canada (NCFTA Canada) has been formed with the alliance of Bell Canada, Concordia University, Rogers Communication and Microsoft Canada.
NCFTA Canada will enable and develop partnerships between the public sector, law enforcement agencies, the private sector and academic organizations that will reduce the impact of cyber-crime affecting Canadians.
NCTFA Canada will combine resources, intelligence, expertise and R&D efforts to effectively and cooperatively work on:
- Promoting information security in Canada.
- Investigating mutually defined cyber-crime targets to gather intelligence, define prevention methods, and develop counter-measures.
- Developing and publishing information or processes that will help protect organizations or individuals from cyber-crime.
- Carrying well-focused collaborative research and development initiatives.
- Developing and sharing tools that aid in the investigation or prevention of cyber-crime.
- Building relationships with organizations having similar vision both nationally and internationally.
