CISA director highlights private partnerships following agency cuts, signaling systemic cybersecurity concerns.
Context
What happened: CISA acting director Nick Andersen told a Rubrik summit that public-private partnerships are critical to the agency's mission, though CISA has closed many such bodies and cut staff.
Key numbers: About 1,000 staff, roughly a third of headcount, left since Trump returned to office. CISA committed to rehiring around 300.
Why it matters: The report says the closures and cuts undercut Andersen's claims, and warns the price will be unprepared critical infrastructure as more budget and staffing cuts loom.
