The NSA Mission
NSA is responsible for carrying out two of the country’s most important and sensitive intelligence activities – Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Information Assurance (IA).
SIGINT involves intercepting, decrypting, and analyzing foreign adversaries communication to produce intelligence that give the Nation an information advantage. We are also responsible for the protection of U.S. Government information systems, a discipline known as Information Assurance. Together, the two missions promote a single goal: information superiority for America and its allies.
By its very nature, gathering and protecting intelligence requires a high degree of confidentiality. So, while we can’t tell you exactly what you’ll be working on, we can say your intellect is sure to be challenged and the work you do is sure to be rewarding.
