CISA Loses Nearly All Top Officials as Purge Continues

The CISA is experiencing a significant wave of senior leadership departures, with nearly all top officials leaving by the end of May 2025. Five of CISA’s six operational divisions and six of its ten regional offices will lose their leaders, raising concerns about the agency’s ability to maintain cybersecurity readiness. The departures are during a time of broader government downsizing efforts, leaving employees anxious about the agency’s future. Despite the leadership shake-up, CISA executives insist they remain committed to their mission of protecting national infrastructure.
