# NRO Invests $250 Million in Cybersecurity

The National Reconnaissance Office’s new Cyber Protection Office has more than 600 staff and an annual budget of $250 million, according to NRO Delta 26 Deputy Commander Lt. Col. Luke Shibilski. This establishes a substantial, ongoing investment in NRO cybersecurity, but the available information identifies no solicitation, contract award, specific requirements, or procurement contact. Contractors should track NRO and related industry announcements for concrete opportunities tied to the office’s work.

- The office’s staffing and annual budget indicate sustained cybersecurity activity that may create demand for relevant contractor capabilities, though no specific acquisition is identified.
- Companies serving the intelligence and defense sectors can use this information as market context; it does not establish an open procurement or a defined requirement.
- Track NRO and related industry announcements for solicitations or other actionable procurement details.
