Trump picks Palantir’s LoSapio to head CISA
President Donald Trump nominated Michael LoSapio, chief information security officer at Palantir, to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on November 10. CISA has lacked a Senate-confirmed director throughout Trump's second term after his initial nominee, Sean Plankey, withdrew in April. LoSapio may encounter Democratic opposition in confirmation given Palantir's controversial work with the Department of Homeland Security, though Republicans control the Senate during the current lame-duck session.
Why it matters: Federal cybersecurity practitioners and vendors should monitor the confirmation process and potential policy shifts under CISA leadership, as the nominee's background and Democratic scrutiny may influence agency priorities and oversight approaches.
