The dual hatted nature of DIRNSA has nothing to do with defense vs offense. General Nakasone is in fact a commissioned officer in the US Army. His dual hat is the fact that he is the DIRNSA but also the commanding general of USCYBERCOM. These are his two hats. Also the CSS is also misunderstood in your comment, and has little to nothing to do with the NSA's defensive role.
- infamia 4y ago> Also the CSS is also misunderstood in your comment, and has little to nothing to do with the NSA's defensive role. Thank you for the corrections! My limited understanding is that CSS works with standards groups to enhance the state of the art, which has a strong defensive component (e.g. help everyone secure their communications and data). I'd be interested to hear if this is incorrect.
