The National Security Agency, or NSA, is one of America's intelligence organizations. The NSA is generally responsible for code making and breaking for information security purposes. NSA jobs are very prestigious, and competition for them has become quite competitive as more people become interested in working for homeland security organizations. If you are a U.S. citizen, you can apply for a job with the NSA.
