""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 budget would remove 'duplicative' programs focused on state and local cyber funding, signaling a continued push to significantly scale back the agency's footprint.""
""Notably, it proposes eliminating programs 'focused on so-called misinformation and propaganda as well as external engagement offices such as council management, stakeholder engagement, and international affairs.'""
The FY27 budget proposal reduces funding for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency by approximately $707 million, continuing a trend of cuts from previous years. This reduction is part of a broader strategy to limit the agency's role, which has faced criticism for its focus on censorship and inefficiency. The proposal also aims to eliminate programs related to misinformation and stakeholder engagement, potentially impacting the agency's ability to protect critical systems and engage with local and state cyber initiatives.
