An Important Update on our commitment to the Defense Industrial Base

To meet the demands of an evolving national security landscape, DCSA is focusing our resources on mission-critical priorities. This requires a strategic realignment to ensure every effort directly contributes to strengthening our national security.

As part of this necessary shift, we are discontinuing the Cogswell Award. We deeply respect the award's legacy and honor all the past recipients who set the standard for security excellence.

This refocus will allow us to invest more deeply in core security capabilities, enhance oversight, and deliver more targeted support to cleared industry partners. While the award program is ending, our commitment to fostering superior security practices is stronger than ever.

We are dedicated to our partnership with industry as we navigate emerging challenges together.
