New CISA Budget Slashes Staff And Funds

A Trump administration budget plan proposes eliminating over one-third of staff at the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). This proposal aims to reduce overall agency spending by approximately 17 percent, a significant and controversial budget decrease for its operations. CISA’s fiscal year 2026 budget overview, released last Friday, requested $2.38 billion, down nearly $500 million from fiscal year 2024. The detailed plan outlines extensive cuts to CISA staffing, vital cyber operations, infrastructure security programs, chemical inspections, and also emergency communications. It also eliminates important programs like cyber defense education and training and guts funding for the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center.

Top Department of Homeland Security and CISA officials have publicly defended these proposed significant budget and also extensive workforce reduction measures. However, some concerned bipartisan lawmakers and various agency insiders strongly warn the reductions could cripple CISA’s ability to counter rising global threats. Michael Daniel, president of the Cyber Threat Alliance, stated these funding reductions will make it more difficult for CISA to respond effectively. He further elaborated that the proposed cuts will inevitably cause far-reaching “ripple effects in several dimensions” for the nation’s cybersecurity capabilities. These dire effects include fewer threat alerts issued, reduced cybersecurity reviews at under-resourced critical infrastructure sites, and diminished major incident response capabilities.

The administration’s proposal includes an apparent funding increase for the agency’s important infrastructure security division, from $159 million up to $303 million. However, this specific budget line item importantly includes a very large $237.8 million transfer from the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office. This accounting shift means core infrastructure security programs like bombing prevention would actually be drastically cut from $30.3 million down to only $1.9 million. Similarly, crucial chemical security program funding would be severely reduced from its current $25.9 million allocation to just a mere $3.6 million. These specific program cuts clearly highlight the true impact beneath the surface of some proposed budget shifts within the CISA framework.

The extensive workforce reductions detailed in the budget plan span nearly every single CISA division, showing widespread impact across the entire agency. The steepest proportional staffing cuts are currently slated to hit the integrated operations divisions and also crucial stakeholder engagement outreach program teams. Essential mission support functions, which include internal information technology, human resources, and procurement, would unfortunately lose nearly 28 percent of their positions. The cybersecurity division itself would consequently shed more than 200 vital roles across cyber operations, critical training, and essential vulnerability management functions. Furthermore, risk management operations, encompassing critical infrastructure analysis and simulation modeling, would see a devastating two-thirds staff cut, with its Intelligence Unit eliminated.
