Hi All,
The NSA just published NSA Cybersecurity Year in Review 2022
The National Security Agency (NSA) and its predecessors
have been protecting the United States' most sensitive
information since World War II. As communication technology
and information technology has advanced - creating a
a more interconnected world with an increasing number of
threats - NSA's mission has expanded, and it has embraced
new responsibilities and operational authorities to ensure our
networks remain secure.
Today, NSA's cybersecurity mission integrates its cryptographic
expertise, signals intelligence, vulnerability analysis, defensive
operations, and more to prevent and eradicate cyber threats to:
NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEMS (NSS)
Networks that contain classified information or
are otherwise critical to the United States military and
intelligence activities. It is vital that these networks
remain secure to ensure the mission readiness of the U.S.
warfighting capabilities, as well as protecting the nation's
most sensitive information.
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD)
U.S. military services and combatant commands, as well
as U.S. government agencies and departments related
to national security.
THE DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL BASE (DIB)
Companies that design, develop, operate, and maintain
the Department of Defense's critical systems, platforms,
and technologies required to defend the nation.
If these networks are at risk, so is the U.S.
While much of the critical work NSA does to secure
the nation cannot be publicly disclosed. This year in
review shares a wealth of information on cybersecurity
efforts that have better equipped the U.S. to defend
against the highest priority cyber threats. Visit NSA.
