US cybersecurity agency CISA reportedly in dire shape amid Trump cuts and layoffs

A news report describes significant degradation at CISA, citing major staff reductions, program losses (including counter-ransomware and secure software development efforts), reassignments tied to broader DHS priorities, and a prolonged shutdown that has left the agency operating at about 38% staffing; sources fault political decisions and leadership gaps, while acting director Madhu Gottumukkala maintains that CISA remains committed to protecting federal networks.
