CISA: We didn't fire red teams, we just unhired a bunch of them

The report covers CISA’s response to claims that it laid off entire red teams, asserting instead that it terminated certain contracts for efficiency without affecting staff employment, while a former senior penetration tester alleges widespread contract cuts. It also details broader government cost-cutting actions attributed to DOGE, including the defunding/shutdown of the EI-ISAC and MS-ISAC, raising widespread concern among security experts about weakened election and local government cybersecurity.
