CISA Defunds Threat-Sharing Hubs for States and Elections

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has terminated funding for two national cybersecurity hubs, the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center and the Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center. The funding cuts, part of a Trump administration effort to reduce government spending, will impact stakeholder engagement, cyber threat intelligence sharing, and cyber incident response efforts. The move comes amid concerns about CISA’s future and the potential impact on critical infrastructure security.
