Rob Joyce, ex-director of cybersecurity at the NSA, expressed serious concerns about proposed mass firings of probationary federal employees. He noted that eliminating these roles could severely compromise U.S. cybersecurity, especially in countering threats from China. Joyce emphasized the importance of these employees, who undergo extensive training and contribute critical skills needed to combat cyber threats. There have already been layoffs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, raising alarms about the future of cybersecurity personnel under new government efficiency measures.
I want to raise my grave concerns that the aggressive threats to cut US government probationary employees will have a devastating impact on [US] cybersecurity and our national security.
Eliminating probationary employees will destroy a pipeline of top talent essential for hunting and eradicating PRC threats.
