CISA’s Cybersecurity Comedy: Hoping for Law Renewal, Funding Follies, and Workforce Woes!
The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act is on the brink of expiration, and CISA leaders are crossing their fingers for a renewal. Meanwhile, they’re busy dispelling layoff rumors, launching malware platforms, and quoting Hemingway. Apparently, CISA’s not retreating—just advancing in a new, cyber-savvy direction!
Hot Take:
Dear Congress, the clock is ticking, and so is the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act’s expiration date. If you don’t renew it, the US cybersecurity scene might just become a reality TV show where hackers always win immunity. Also, we can’t afford more layoffs at CISA, or we might as well start calling them “CYA.” So, let’s keep those cybersecurity gears turning, shall we?
Key Points:
- CISA leadership expects Congress to renew the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act before it expires in 2025.
- CISA commits to funding the MITRE-run Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program.
- Despite workforce reduction, CISA leaders assure continued agency strength and highlight new initiatives.
- New initiatives include the Thorium platform and $100m in state and local cyber grant funding.
- CISA to launch new IT services to streamline access to Cyber Hygiene services.
