CISA work not ‘degraded’ by Trump administration cuts, top agency official says

CISA executive Nick Andersen dismissed concerns that staffing and program cuts have degraded the agency’s effectiveness, citing strong administration backing, robust public-private partnerships, and a tighter focus on core operational missions. He outlined priorities to harden federal networks, deepen collaboration with critical infrastructure operators, and accelerate resilience through 2027 in anticipation of geopolitical risks such as a potential China–Taiwan conflict.
