Fort Meade is home to the National Security Agency (NSA) — America's signals intelligence agency that intercepts and analyzes foreign communications globally — and US Cyber Command, which conducts offensive and defensive cyber operations. In the current Iran escalation, Iranian cyber attacks on US infrastructure are a documented and growing threat; Fort Meade is where the US monitors, attributes, and responds to those attacks. The NSA's massive data centers and signals processing facilities represent an irreplaceable intelligence infrastructure node. Nor'easters and ice storms are the primary natural hazards for this mid-Maryland installation.
