While the NSA's budget is black, it is suspected to be the highest of the US intelligence services, and the assumption is that most of the budget is spent on computer power. Rumors abound, but the suspected location of the computer installation is under the NSA HQ in Ft. Meade, MD, USA.

IBM has consistently made restricted release super-mainframes that only are availble to the government community, and NSA is suspected to be the primary customer (See ASCI White, Roadrunner and XT-5 Jaguar [Cray]).

NSA along with Russia's intelligence operations are considered to be the only two potential candidates for prompt Prime number factorization at the time of this writing, with Japan also being a distant possibility.

What is security planning in computer security?

Security planning for IT may involve the development of security policies (ie, acceptable use, disaster recovery, breach notification), implementation of security controls (to include hardware, software, and personnel), risk assessment, cryptographic use and controls, and legal/ethical considerations. It is essentially the strategic view of computer security as opposed to the tactical view that an intrusion detection analyst might have.
