The White House has proposed a $707 million budget cut for the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in its fiscal 2027 budget request. This reduction will likely constrain CISA's capacity to manage core cybersecurity operations, significantly impacting national security infrastructure.
