President Donald Trump's Fiscal Year 2026 budget proposal includes significant funding cuts to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), aiming to reduce its budget by $495 million and eliminate nearly 30% of its workforce. The plan will result in an 18% cut for the Cybersecurity Division, alongside severe reductions of up to 73% for the National Risk Management Center and 62% for the Stakeholder Engagement Division, potentially limiting CISA's ability to protect critical infrastructure and support local governments.
