On January 9, the National Security Agency<\/a> (NSA) announced that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard have designated, and President Donald Trump has approved, Timothy Kosiba to serve as NSA’s 21st deputy director.<\/p>\n

As the senior civilian leader of the agency, Kosiba will oversee strategy execution, establish policy, guide operations, and manage the senior civilian leadership. As an agency deputy in the U.S. national security system, he will support the U.S. defense and intelligence enterprise in the formulation of national security policies, and position NSA as an integrated mission partner enabling U.S. decisive advantage and security against foreign threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, I\u2019d like to welcome Tim Kosiba back to NSA,\u201d said LTG William J. Hartman, acting commander, U.S. Cyber Command; performing duties of director of the NSA, and chief of the Central Security Service (CSS). \u201cTim is a people-focused leader with a wealth of experience that makes him perfect for the deputy director role, accumulated over a distinguished 33-year federal career. I am confident that Tim will continue to drive and guide us in our critical foreign signals intelligence and cybersecurity missions. His expertise and leadership will be invaluable as we advance our efforts to protect national security interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

With more than 30 years of experience in the Intelligence Community, Kosiba is well versed in the NSA\u2019s mission, bringing a deep understanding of public sector cybersecurity in both practice and policy. He has been instrumental in the successful implementation of the NSA\u2019s Cyber Security Policy and frequently represented both the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command at the White House and other government-sponsored deliberations on cyber activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to come back home and serve as the National Security Agency\u2019s next deputy director,\u201d Kosiba said. \u201cAs it has been for more than 30 years, my deep commitment to our mission continues, and I am excited to once again serve alongside the agency\u2019s incredible workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n
