NSA Cyber Security Year in Review

Posted by mctracy On January 4, 2023

The National Security Agency recently released the 2022 Cyber Security Year in Review.

“This year’s report highlights NSA’s ability to scale cybersecurity solutions through strong partnerships, resulting in speed and agility. ‘By protecting the U.S. Government’s most sensitive networks, we cascade solutions that help secure critical infrastructure, U.S. allies, and businesses and consumers around the world,’ said Rob Joyce, NSA Cybersecurity Director. ‘Our efforts to protect those networks help protect yours.’” (NSA).

Protecting infrastructure starts with the physical protection of tangible and intangible devices.

“NSA secures millions of devices around the world with encryption and manages the infrastructure to key those devices. That includes producing and distributing the keys, codes, and cryptographic materials that the U.S. Government and military use to secure weapons, satellites, communications, and many other systems in which national security critically relies.” (NSA).

The NSA also improved cyber security in education.

“NSA bolsters cybersecurity education across the nation from kindergarten through college by funding programs such as GenCyber, the CodeBreaker Challenge, the NSA Cyber Exercise and the National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity.” (NSA).

Partnerships are also emphasized in the new report.

“NSA collaborated with international partners on more than half of its public cybersecurity reports this year to enhance threat understanding and present top defensive actions to net defenders.” (NSA).
