Cybersecurity Comedy: Trump 2.0’s Unintentional Stand-Up Act!
Chris Krebs warns that Trump’s second term is shaking up federal cybersecurity with leadership changes and budget cuts. His rallying cry? “Make CISA great again.” As the cybersecurity community faces this political storm, Krebs stresses the importance of bolstering, not slashing, the cyber defenses that protect us all.
Hot Take:
Looks like the cybersecurity world is getting the “bigger and better” treatment Trump-style — and by that, I mean smaller and possibly worse. Chris Krebs is sounding the alarm louder than a hacker trying to guess your grandma’s Wi-Fi password. Forget making CISA great again; how about just keeping it functional? Somebody call the cyber-Avengers!
