2021 NSA Cybersecurity Year in Review

The National Security Agency (NSA) formed a Cybersecurity Directorate in 2019 with the charge to prevent and eradicate threats to the United States’ National Security Systems and critical infrastructure, with an initial focus on the Defense Industrial Base and its service providers. While much of the critical work that 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 from November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2021.
