During her keynote address at the RSAC Conference in San Francisco, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem outlined a strategic redirection for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), stressing the need to realign its efforts with its original mission of countering cyber threats. She criticized CISA for diverging from this purpose, particularly as the agency faces staffing challenges amid concerns over job cuts and resignations. Notably, Noem emphasized the rising risks posed by Chinese hackers to small businesses and local governments, advocating for enhanced resilience and secure technology development as part of the Trump administration's cybersecurity strategy.
