Ecuador: Cybercrime & Cybersecurity Agencies

In Ecuador, cybercrime against people goes to the police cybercrime unit, and technical incidents go to the national CERT.

Police cybercrime unit

Unidad Nacional de Ciberdelitos

Part of: Policia Nacional del Ecuador

National CERT / cybersecurity authority

EcuCERT (sectoral telecom CERT; the national CSIRT is CSIRT Ecuador, run by MINTEL)

Part of: ARCOTEL (telecommunications regulator)

Official website

Report an incident online

Official reporting page for Ecuador.

Notes

  • EcuCERT is telecom-sector focused and a national CSIRT is being consolidated under new law; no official Policia Nacional cybercrime page was reachable.
  • Unit named in a Fiscalía General del Estado publication; police and ministry sites were unreachable, and the Fiscalía page describes in-person denuncias at the Sistema de Atención Integral, not a dedicated online cybercrime form.
