Summary
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has announced a $10 million cut in annual funding for the Center for Internet Security (CIS), which supports vital programs like the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) and the Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC).
