Senators Demand Cyber Safety Review Board Revival: Battling Hackers or Tilting at Windmills?
Four senators urge the Department of Homeland Security to bring back the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was dissolved to align with Trump 2.0’s efficiency goals. This board once probed major cybersecurity incidents, like the Salt Typhoon hacks, and its absence leaves a gap in cyber defense.
Hot Take:
Ah, the Cyber Safety Review Board, the cybersecurity equivalent of a cat in a box. Is it alive? Is it dead? Or maybe it’s just playing peek-a-boo with the Department of Homeland Security? Four senators want to bring it back to life, but with Trump 2.0 priorities, it seems like they’ve got a digital zombie on their hands. Who knew cybersecurity could be this much of a soap opera?
Key Points:
- Four senators are urging the DHS to reinstate the Cyber Safety Review Board.
- The board was dissolved in January to align with Trump 2.0 priorities for efficiency.
- The board was investigating major hacks, including the Salt Typhoon and SolarWinds incidents.
- Criticism of the board’s transparency and effectiveness has been prevalent.
