Matt Hartman, a key figure in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is expected to leave his position, marking a notable shift following the departure of several senior officials. His exit was communicated in an all-hands meeting and reflects broader workforce reductions initiated by the current administration. CISA's leadership is under scrutiny for its focus on disinformation instead of core cybersecurity functions, as emphasized by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Notably, Hartman previously served in multiple influential roles within CISA and the Department of Homeland Security, underscoring his importance in the agency's cyber defense efforts.
Hartman's planned departure from CISA follows multiple senior official exits in 2025 amid a push by the current administration to reshape the agency's focus.
Hartman's exit comes as CISA faces scrutiny and criticism concerning its mission, with calls from administration officials to eliminate disinformation programs and refocus efforts.
