Capability Delivery

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA's) Cybersecurity Division (CSD) works collaboratively with public, private, and international entities to improve the cybersecurity posture of the Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) and other partners by facilitating the integration of various cybersecurity technologies, products, and services. The mission of the Capability Delivery Subdivision (CD) is to acquire, engineer, and provide life cycle support for the capabilities needed to fulfill CSD's mission.
