What is NSA’s role in U.S. cybersecurity?
Our main role is to help protect and defend National Security Systems:
- These include networks that contain classified information, or that are otherwise critical to military and intelligence missions.
- These systems face constant, rapidly evolving cyber threats from the world’s most capable adversaries.
- Military service members in harm’s way and our nation’s leaders are among those who rely on NSA’s efforts.
