The NSA's SNIP and GENEVA Programs
Sp-231 on 29 Sept, 2004 from 1500-1550

As the world becomes more and more technology-oriented, the Information Assurance (IA) mission becomes increasingly challenging. The enemy of the new century holds a dramatic advantage over enemies of the past - access to a global industry moving at the speed of light. The National Security Agency's mission involves protecting all classified and sensitive information that is stored or sent through U.S. government equipment. NSA IA professionals go to great lengths to make certain that government systems remain impenetrable. This support spans from the highest levels of U.S. government to the individual warfighter in the field.

Integral parts of the NSA's IA mission are the System and Network Interdisciplinary Program (SNIP) and the new Global Exploitation Network Vulnerability Program (GENEVA). Our lecture will focus on these innovative programs and how they fit into our immediate and long-term national security.
