Trump’s Cybersecurity Cutbacks: CISA’s Loyalty Test vs. UK’s Unwavering Partnership
Amid Trump’s rocky relationship with CISA, the UK’s cyber agency claims it’s business as usual, with unwavering ties to their U.S. counterparts. Despite political turbulence, the National Cyber Security Centre remains steadfast partners with CISA, assuring that no amount of cyber drama will dissolve their “special relationship.”
Hot Take:
In an era where “alternative facts” seem to have become the norm, it’s refreshing to see the UK’s cyber wizards and their US pals at CISA keeping it professional and drama-free. While the political circus continues to swirl around them, they’re sticking to what they do best—fighting the good fight against cyber baddies. So kudos to these cyber diplomats for keeping calm and carrying on, even if their bosses back home seem to be starring in a reality show called ‘Cybersecurity: The Cutting Room Floor Edition’.
