Mark Warner has asked CISA for staffing and organizational records and data on services to state and local governments, warning that staff reductions, program cuts, and lower funding have weakened the agency’s ability to support jurisdictions; his letter seeks historical organizational charts, vacancy reasons, and service request metrics and cites legislation to restore MS-ISAC funding amid concerns about reduced federal cybersecurity support.
