Acting CISA chief touts private partnerships after agency axed many

Acting CISA director Nick Andersen told a Rubrik summit that public-private partnerships are critical to the agency's mission. Yet the Trump administration has shuttered the Cyber Safety Review Board and other advisory bodies, and CISA has lost roughly 1,000 staff.

• CISA has lost about a third of its staff, roughly 1,000 people, since Trump returned
• Closed bodies include the Cyber Safety Review Board and AI Safety and Security Board
• The 2027 budget request proposes cutting 900 more positions and nearly $1 billion
• CISA says it will rehire about 300 staff and points to its CI Fortify initiative
