""CISA was more focused on censorship than on protecting the Nation's critical systems, and put them at risk due to poor management and inefficiency, as well as a focus on self-promotion.""
""The proposed budget seeks to streamline operations by eliminating some CISA programs deemed redundant by the administration.""
""In the first months of the second Trump administration, roughly 1,000 people (one-third of staff) reportedly left CISA through voluntary resignations and layoffs.""
The Trump administration plans to reduce the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's budget by $707 million for fiscal year 2027. This cut aims to refocus CISA on protecting federal networks and critical infrastructure while eliminating perceived inefficiencies. The proposal includes removing redundant programs, such as school safety initiatives, and dissolving offices related to international affairs. CISA's budget would decrease to approximately $2 billion, following significant growth due to past cybersecurity incidents. Despite workforce reductions, CISA seeks to recruit over 300 personnel for essential roles.
