The NSA’s Spy Unit: The Office Of Tailored Access Operations (TAO)

In 1997, the National Security Agency constructed a cyber-warfare intelligence unit which became active in 1998. However by 2000, it was named the Office of Tailored Access Operations (TAO). TAO’s headquarters are termed the Remote Operations Center (ROC) and are based at the NSA headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland. In 2013, with the release of Edward Snowden’s files to The Guardian, the unit is described as having software templates used to tap common people’s networks, hardware, and common security such as firewalls, routers and vendor lines. The NSA ANT catalog is a 50-page classified document listing technology available to the United States National Security Agency (NSA) Tailored Access Operations (TAO) by the Advanced Network Technology (ANT) Division to aid in cyber surveillance. Most devices are described as already operational and available to US nationals and members of the Five Eyes alliance.
