B.C. auditor general says many government web apps pose cyber security risks
British Columbia's government is vulnerable to cyber security threats and needs to be unwavering in its search for possible attacks, said the province's auditor general.
In a report released Thursday, Russ Jones outlined how an audit by his office found security vulnerabilities ranking from medium to critical in more than half of the government's web applications that it reviewed.
Jones said the security audit, conducted from December 2012 to February 2013, produced a swift response from the government to erect security protections.
