"The proposed cuts amount to approximately $700 million in programme eliminations, producing a net reduction of around $360 million once internal transfers and targeted new hires are factored in."
"The most politically conspicuous cut is the outright elimination of CISA's election security programme, which serves as the primary hub for sharing cyber threat intelligence."
The Trump administration's FY2027 budget proposes cutting $707 million from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), eliminating its election security program and reducing its workforce by approximately 860 positions. This would lower CISA's operating budget to around $2 billion, a significant decrease from the $3 billion received previously. The budget reflects a broader trend of workforce reductions within CISA, which has lost about a third of its staff over the past 14 months, including the dissolution of its red team and layoffs affecting critical security functions.
