As a relatively new and essential cyber-security component of the DHS, CISA faces a significant potential setback. With changing political climates and Trump’s apparent intentions to reshape the agency, its core missions of protecting government systems and supporting private and nonprofit entities could be compromised. Employees fear that reduced corporate oversight and a possible dismantling or repurposing of the agency may impair its ability to safeguard against cyber threats, potentially weakening national cybersecurity infrastructure. There is a palpable fear among the staff of a decline in efficacy and a change in direction that could pose threats not just to the agency's mandate but also to the broader security landscape.
