Summary
Christopher Krebs, the former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), has left his position at cybersecurity firm SentinelOne. His departure follows an executive order from former President Trump aimed at strengthening national infrastructure security. Krebs was notable for his role in safeguarding the 2020 election from foreign interference and was dismissed for his views on election security. His leadership at CISA emphasized collaboration between public and private sectors to combat cyber threats. Krebs's exit raises concerns about how political developments may affect cybersecurity leadership and strategy within the private sector.
