"D an Rogers is a secret servant. He was appointed director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in October 2024. But he has spent more than twenty years in the intelligence world, starting out as a software developer at the Communications Security Establishment in 2002. He now leads an agency governed by the CSIS Act-first passed in 1984 and recently updated through Bill C-70 to reflect today's threat environment."
"A 2024 employee survey revealed only about 40 percent had confidence in top management, and, according to an interview with Huda Mukbil, a former CSIS intelligence operative, many criticized excessive red tape and ineffective decision making. Allegations of sexual harassment and a "macho culture" have damaged morale, Mukbil said. Rogers, reports the National Post, acknowledged these issues as "disappointing and unacceptable" to staff, pledging reforms."
Dan Rogers began his intelligence career in 2002 as a software developer at the Communications Security Establishment and was appointed director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in October 2024. The CSIS Act, originally passed in 1984, has been updated through Bill C-70 to address contemporary threats. Rogers faces the final phase of a foreign interference inquiry, the return of U.S. president Donald Trump, and rising Arctic spying and military activity by Russia and China. Internal challenges include low confidence in top management, complaints about red tape and decision-making, and allegations of sexual harassment and a macho culture, which Rogers has called disappointing and pledged to reform.
