World-Class Intelligence, Tools, and People.
A non-profit formed in coordination with the FBI — the focal point for the coordination, integration, and sharing of cyber threat intelligence across the defense, financial, and commercial sectors and the United States Government.
Who We Are · 01
The NDCA is a non-profit formed in coordination with the FBI. It serves as a focal point for the coordination, integration, and sharing of cyber threat intelligence between the Cleared Defense Contractor (CDC) community, financial and commercial sectors, and the United States Government (USG).
Founded at Redstone Arsenal to improve the security of the Nation's most sensitive networks.
The NDCA · 02
Three pillars hold the line.
Custom Tools
NDCA-developed custom tools in Splunk and MISP allow for the identification and sharing of threats among partners and the USG.
Trusted People
The people of the NDCA are ultimately what makes it great. Partners are cleared and NDAs make it easy and safe to collaborate.

How We Operate · 04
Four toolsets do the work.
Ngest
Data ingestion. Your telemetry comes into the alliance, is enriched alongside our government partners, and comes back to you.
Nsights
Analytics. Open analysis tools, so members can pull the thread themselves rather than wait for a report.
Nform
Resources. The references, feeds and tradecraft an analyst reaches for, in one place, reached from your Ngage dashboard.
Nrich
Threat intelligence sync. Indicators the alliance sees are kept in step with your own.
A name that starts with N is run by the NDCA. A name outside that family is led by our partners at the FBI.
Toolsets · 05
Instruments for the hunt.
Nrich
MISP sync. Runs on the open-source platform your analysts already know, so what the alliance sees arrives where they already work.
Nsights
The analysis bench. Search what has been shared with the alliance and follow it wherever it leads.
TalonEye
A passive tool that enumerates a partner's attack surface, highlighting potential adversarial targeting, shadow IT, and vulnerable services.
