A proposed budget from the Trump administration for Fiscal Year 2027 outlines severe reductions for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The plan would reportedly cut $707 million from CISA’s budget, completely eliminate its critical election security program, and result in the loss of 860 positions. This substantial scaling back would leave the nation’s primary civilian cybersecurity agency operating with a $2 billion budget, coming after a period already characterized by significant staffing reductions and departures.
