The US National Security Agency (NSA) is forming a Cybersecurity Directorate to “reinvigorate [its] white hat mission.” The cyberdefense arm will launch on Oct. 1.
Anne Neuberger — current NSA senior advisor to the director — will lead the Cybersecurity Directorate, the NSA said Tuesday. Neuberger previously served as NSA assistant deputy director of operations, chief risk officer and head of the NSA/USCybercom Election Security Small Group, which worked against foreign involvement during the 2018 US midterm elections.
“This new approach to cybersecurity will better position NSA to collaborate with key partners across the US government like US Cyber Command, Department of Homeland Security, and Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the NSA said in a statement Tuesday.
