CISA’s New Deputy Director: The Cybersecurity Plot Thickens!
Madhu Gottumukkala steps up as CISA’s new deputy director, swapping South Dakota’s tech scene for the national stage. With Gottumukkala’s experience, CISA might finally find its director, but until then, it’s a game of cyber-musical chairs. Meanwhile, the White House proposes a budget cut, possibly mistaking CISA for a Wi-Fi hog.
Hot Take:
Who knew cybersecurity was such a dramatic soap opera? As CISA rolls out the red carpet for Madhu Gottumukkala as deputy director, the plot thickens with other characters vying for the top spot.
