CISA: We didn't fire red teams, we just unhired a bunch of them

Agency tries to save face as it also pulls essential funding for election security initiatives

[ ... ]

Among the many cuts DOGE claims total around $20 billion are key information sharing and analysis centers (ISACs), some of which have operated for decades.

The Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC) is one of these. Its website now states that the DHS pulled funding and the Center for Internet Security, which oversees the initiative, no longer supports it.

The EI-ISAC's role was to advise election officials and voting machine makers about cybersecurity risks that could impact the integrity of elections. It isn't the first move made by the current US administration to loosen oversight on election security.

Also confirmed this week to be shut down is the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), which was similarly tasked with informing responses to threats against local and national elections.

It was reported by a few select media outlets, and CISA confirmed this week that the news was indeed true.
