What are NPPD jobs?

NPPD stands for the National Protection and Programs Directorate, a division within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. NPPD jobs typically involve roles in cybersecurity, infrastructure protection, emergency communications, and risk management to safeguard the nation’s critical infrastructure. Employees in these positions work on security policy, cyber threat analysis, emergency response coordination, and public-private partnerships.

Careers in this area offer opportunities to contribute to national security and public safety.
