flag CISA's cyber defense capabilities are severely weakened by mass staff losses and leadership gaps under Trump, endangering national security.

flag The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is facing a severe operational crisis under the Trump administration, with roughly one-third of its staff lost to layoffs, reassignments, and a prolonged government shutdown that reduced staffing to about 38% of normal levels. flag Critical programs in election security, ransomware defense, and threat intelligence have been weakened, and leadership remains vacant. flag Former and current officials report plummeting morale and a loss of expertise, while intelligence warns of active cyber threats from China, Russia, and Iran, including pre-positioning by groups like Volt Typhoon. flag CISA’s ability to coordinate with private sector partners has also declined, raising national security concerns amid increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks on vital infrastructure.
