Vision
- Information Superiority for America and Its Allies
Intelligence and Information Assurance complement each other. Intelligence gives the Nation an information advantage over its adversaries. Information Assurance prevents others from gaining advantage over the Nation. Together the two missions promote a single goal: information superiority for America and its Allies.
