Cyber Security Division Fact Sheet

Cyber-threats are constantly changing. As a result, the federal government must lead the way in the development of next-generation cybersecurity solutions. The Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (HSARPA) Cyber Security Division (CSD) enables and supports research and development (R&D), testing, evaluation and transition of advanced cybersecurity and information assurance technologies. CSD’s mission is to enhance the security and resilience of the nation’s critical information infrastructure and the internet by developing and delivering new technologies, tools and techniques to enable DHS and the U.S. to defend, mitigate and secure current and future systems, networks and infrastructure against cyberattacks; conduct and support technology transition; and lead and coordinate the development of cutting-edge solutions by innovators in the public and private R&D community.
