Trump budget boss Russell Vought open to re-staffing CISA
Trump administration budget chief Russell Vought indicated willingness to work with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on restaffing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which has lost over 1,000 personnel under the current administration. Mullin has requested approximately 600 additional staff, though Vought noted no formal request had been received yet and that hiring processes require time. Acting CISA director Nick Anderson reported the agency has begun recruitment with nearly 200 job offers expected by month's end.
Why it matters: Security practitioners overseeing critical infrastructure and cyber defense should monitor CISA's staffing trajectory, as significant personnel losses directly impact incident response capacity, vulnerability coordination, and threat intelligence dissemination that private organizations depend on.
