Plankey nomination for CISA director advances to Senate floor

The report describes the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee advancing Sean Plankey’s nomination to lead CISA (9–6 vote), his commitment to seek funding if needed and to preserve CISA’s state and local cybersecurity grant program, and separate reporting that JCDC contractor staff may be significantly reduced. It also notes that, after pressure from Sen. Ron Wyden, CISA plans to release a long-withheld report on telecommunications sector security flaws.
