From at least January 2020, through February 2022, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), National Security
Agency (NSA), and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA) have observed regular targeting

state-sponsored cyber actors. The actors have targeted
both large and small CDCs and subcontractors with
varying levels of cybersecurity protocols and resources.
These CDCs support contracts for the U.S. Department

following areas:
• Command, control, communications, and combat systems;
• Intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting;
• Weapons and missile development;
