exclusive The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency won’t attend the annual RSA Conference in March, an agency spokesperson confirmed to The Register.
“Since the beginning of this management, CISA has made important progress in returning to our statutory, core mission and focusing on President Trump’s policies for maximum security for all Americans,” CISA spokesperson Marci McCarthy told us. “CISA has reviewed and determined that we will not participate in the RSA Conference since we regularly review all stakeholder engagements,to ensure maximum impact and good stewardship of taxpayer dollars.”
McCarthy declined to comment on whether the decision had anything to do with former CISA director Jen Easterly being named chief executive of RSAC last week.
Easterly, who was appointed to lead America’s top cyber-defense agency under the Biden administration, joined her predecessor and CISA’s first-ever director Chris Krebs in President Trump’s line of fire back in July.
