"CISA acting Director Nick Andersen stated that resources to detect and counter hacking threats are 'more limited than I would like' due to funding issues facing the Department of Homeland Security."
"The ongoing shutdown has restricted many 'preparatory activities within the environment' and outreach efforts that CISA would typically conduct."
"CISA is unable to cover costs beyond employee salaries, with any non-salary expenditures now requiring an exception under the Antideficiency Act."
"The proposed fiscal year 2027 budget for CISA suggests significant reductions to election security, workforce development, and infrastructure protection resources."
