About NCIA


The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) is NATO's technology and cyber hub

We help the Alliance communicate and work together to fulfil the NATO's mission of preserving peace and security for one billion citizens.

NCIA was established on 1 July 2012 from a merger of several NATO entities, but we have a 65-year legacy of supporting NATO operations, missions and exercises. We are on the frontlines against cyber threats, protecting NATO's networks 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to prevent debilitating attacks. We provide expertise and services that are critical to NATO's ability to fulfil its core tasks of consultation, collective defence and crisis management.

Our work helps NATO keep its technological edge and we achieve this by working in partnership with industry, academia and not-for-profit organizations.
