Our Mission

What We Do

Cybersecurity

Our cybersecurity mission’s goal is to prevent and eradicate threats to U.S. national security systems. We defeat the adversary by providing the Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. government customers with: 

  • Intelligence to warn of malicious cyber threats
  • Integrated nuclear command and control systems threat, vulnerability, risk and cryptographic products and services
  • Threat, assessment and mitigation/protection products
  • Combined defense and offense operations

SIGINT

We are responsible for providing foreign signals intelligence (SIGINT) to our nation’s policymakers and military forces to arm them with critical information they need to defend our country, save lives and advance U.S. goals and alliances globally. SIGINT is intelligence derived from electronic signals and systems used by foreign targets, such as communications systems, radar and weapons systems that provide a vital window for our nation into foreign adversaries’ capabilities, actions and intentions.
