From scenic views to cultural showcases: Why Sekinchan is the perfect weekend escape with Malaysia’s first paddy field festivalUS President Donald Trump’s purges and apparent acts of retribution aimed at top cyber officials put the nation’s digital defences at risk, a former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in a post yesterday.
Trump’s recent moves to fire the two top National Security Agency officials and order an investigation into a previous head of Cisa, Christopher Krebs, were part of a larger movement “that risks hollowing out — and worse, politicising — the US federal cyber ecosystem when we can least afford it,” said Jen Easterly, who succeeded Krebs at Cisa and left the organisation in January.
In a post on LinkedIn, Easterly said that the entire cybersecurity community, including America’s foreign partners, were being affected by the turmoil. “As experienced leaders exit and key roles remain vacant, our nation’s cyber defences are at risk of being dangerously degraded,” she said.Trump’s abrupt firing of General Timothy Haugh, who led the NSA and Cyber Command, and his deputy Wendy Noble, combined with his announcement of an investigation into Krebs and restrictions on Krebs’ then-employer, SentinelOne, have shocked the industry.
Cybersecurity companies have gone quiet on the matter. None of the 33 major cyber firms approached by Reuters offered comment when asked about Krebs or SentinelOne.“If we allow the quiet dismissal of dedicated public servants in our community to pass without comment — we’re not defending national security; we’re compromising it.” — Reuters
