CISA Stretched Thin as Iran Cyber Threat Escalates During Government Shutdown

CISA postponed planned CIRCIA cyber incident reporting town halls due to the DHS shutdown, with the final rule likely delayed. The agency faces furloughs and management reshuffling at the same time Iran-linked cyber threats against critical infrastructure are escalating. Acting Director Nick Andersen said CISA is 'seeing a steady state' in threat activity, contradicting private sector reporting of a 245% increase.
