There is widespread concern among bipartisan lawmakers and industry leaders that the agency’s ability to perform its core mission has been significantly diminished, leaving it ill-prepared to handle a major cybersecurity crisis.
According to reports from the news site Cyberscoop, discussions with sources across Congress, the private cyber industry, and beyond have revealed a consensus that CISA has been severely impacted by a series of layoffs during the first year of the Trump administration.
During this period, CISA has lost approximately one-third of its staff, along with critical programs, personnel, and expertise.

Some individuals also pointed to the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, citing struggles in leadership that have reportedly led to security concerns. CISA has been without a permanent director since Trump took office in 2025.
Compounding these issues, as the partial shutdown of the U.S. federal government, which began on February 14, continues, CISA is reportedly operating at only about 38% of its normal staffing levels. Following widespread criticism over the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal agents, lawmakers have declined to continue funding federal immigration enforcement agencies.
