CISA’s Cyber Mission Crisis: From “Salt Typhoon” to Budget Tornado!
Kristi Noem is on a mission—literally. The Homeland Security Secretary wants to refocus the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on hunting bad actors, not chasing misinformation ghosts. While CISA was busy busting myths, Chinese hackers waltzed through telecom networks. Noem’s message? Less myth-busting, more cyber-busting!
Hot Take:
Looks like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is taking a leaf out of the classic ‘back to basics’ playbook. With CISA apparently losing its way in the Bermuda Triangle of misinformation, Noem wants to steer the ship back to its core mission: catching cyber crooks and fortifying our digital fortresses. If CISA were a computer, she’d be hitting CTRL+ALT+DELETE right about now!
Key Points:
- Kristi Noem criticizes CISA for lack of information on the Chinese Salt Typhoon campaign.
- Noem aims to refocus CISA on protecting critical infrastructure.
- Trump administration proposes budget cuts to CISA’s disinformation programs.
- Noem emphasizes the importance of collaboration with the private sector.
- Debate ensues over the potential impact of workforce reductions at CISA.
