During Senate hearings, nominee Troy Edgar emphasized that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requires reorganization after past mismanagement. He endorsed the dismantling of the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), which had been scrutinizing threats from entities like China, labeling it a 'great idea' and indicating that its role could be reinstated under proper management. Edgar maintained that CISA should refocus on its primary mission: protecting networks rather than investigating disinformation and election-related interference. He anticipates an uncomplicated confirmation process, with the agency currently lacking leadership since Jen Easterly's departure.
Edgar criticized CISA’s management, arguing it needed to be 'reined in' after overstepping its boundaries, especially in election interference investigations that diverted focus.
He supported the abolition of the Cyber Safety Review Board, calling it a 'great idea' that CISA would be better without its involvement in external threats.
