CISA faces potential undermining from elements within the Heritage Foundation who seek to scale back its operations, especially concerning its role in mitigating misinformation online. This approach could significantly weaken the agency, impacting its principal cybersecurity functions and potentially affecting its efforts to combat foreign propaganda. If the 2024 election leads to an administration aligning with the Project 2025 playbook, CISA could experience reduced effectiveness or an existential crisis. Such a shift could have far-reaching consequences for national cybersecurity and the protection against online falsehoods that threaten societal stability.
