ABOUT THE PROJECT

Various aspects of cyber activity – including hacking and defenses against hacking, cyber intelligence, and cyberwar – have been the focus of increasing attention over the last decade. One outcome of that development has been the production of a large, and growing, volume of documents by components of the U.S. and foreign governments, international organizations, and cybersecurity firms. Yet with all this growth researchers, practitioners, teachers, and commentators face the problems of excessive government secrecy and the scattering of relevant documents over a very large number of sites.

The Cyber Vault project is the latest element in the National Security Archive’s long-term commitment to monitor and illuminate key aspects of U.S. national security activities as a means of enhancing public understanding and government accountability.
