NSA to build $1.5B cybersecurity center near Salt Lake City

The National Security Agency (NSA) is setting up a new $1.5 billion cybersecurity data center at the Utah National Guard’s Camp Williams near Salt Lake City.

At 1 million square feet, the center will form the hub of the highly-classified Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI) launched during the Bush Administration.

It is not clear, though, whether that is the only purpose that the new data center will serve, or whether it will support other NSA cybersecurity activities.
