Jen Easterly, former head of CISA under Biden, criticized the Trump administration for undermining the agency through personnel and budget cuts. She emphasized that loyalty should be to the Constitution, not an individual, and that this shift endangers national cybersecurity, which is synonymous with national security. Easterly's comments highlight concerns over a mandate for personal loyalty leading to detrimental changes in the cybersecurity landscape, a sentiment echoed by ongoing discussions about CISA's initiatives and its mission under current leadership.
"Cybersecurity must be a non-partisan, non-political issue, and all federal employees must uphold the US Constitution, which seems challenged by recent personnel changes at CISA."
