The National Security Agency (NSA) is a national-level intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defense. The NSA is responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, specializing in a discipline known as signals intelligence (SIGINT). The NSA is also tasked with the protection of U.S. communications networks and information systems.[1] The NSA relies on a variety of measures to accomplish its mission, the majority of which are clandestine.[2]
The NSA first formally appeared in the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day and subsequently appeared in the 2004 video game Everything or Nothing.
Appearances[]
Die Another Day (film)[]
Giacinta "Jinx" Johnson is an operative of the NSA. Her performing physical espionage operations is extremely unusual for a NSA employee. She must therefore belong to a unconventional black ops unit of the National Security Agency.
Everything or Nothing[]
Given her expertise in the field, it is also possible that agent Mya Starling belongs to the same NSA unit as Jinx.
Trivia[]
The National Security Agency, better known as the NSA, is another US government agency that deals with foreign intelligence gathering. The NSA has two primary functions: converting cryptic foreign intelligence communication into comprehensive text (codebreaking) and protecting U.S. government information systems by using cryptography (codemaking). The NSA does not have field agents who do in-person intelligence gathering who travel the globe like Jinx.
