Summary

Hide β–²

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is being defunded and dismantled, jeopardizing the US's ability to detect and mitigate cybersecurity risks. CISA's termination of a $10 million partnership and layoff of over 100 employees have raised concerns about the future of federal cybersecurity efforts. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program, funded through CISA, was extended but faces an uncertain future. The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 is up for renewal, with no clear indication of its priority in the current administration. CISA's role in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities is crucial for reducing response times and providing detailed advisories. Its absence could leave organizations vulnerable to exploitation. The cybersecurity community is urged to foster cooperation and advocacy for CISA's restoration and strengthening.
