Diplomatic Security Service

The Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) is a branch of the U.S. State Department responsible for protecting American diplomats, embassies, and consulates worldwide. They ensure the safety of government officials and secure sensitive information, often involving protective services, investigations, and cyber security. DSS agents conduct security assessments, coordinate security measures at diplomatic missions, and respond to threats or emergencies abroad. Their work helps maintain U.S. diplomatic operations and national security by preventing attacks, gathering intelligence, and providing protective details to high-level officials.
