NSA

The National Security Agency (NSA), while initially secretive and reluctant to engage with the public, has taken significant strides towards transparency through the adoption of social media and now the release of its own podcast, 'No Such Podcast.' This step is in response to the ever-growing need for effective cybersecurity and the desire to communicate the critical work of the NSA's cryptologists and cryptanalysts. Despite this, the agency's efforts to showcase responsible data handling and to combat the perception of it as a privacy-violating entity remain challenged by the lasting impact of Edward Snowden's disclosures.
