Trump Administration's Cyber Policy: Key Appointments and Budget Concerns
TL;DR Summary
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is reportedly interested in leading the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under the incoming Trump administration. LaRose, a Republican, has been proactive in cybersecurity as Ohio's top election official and is seen as a strong candidate for the role, despite his limited experience in broader security issues. CISA, established by Trump in 2018, has faced criticism from Republicans for its role in countering election misinformation. LaRose's candidacy aligns with GOP priorities, including preventing noncitizen voting in federal elections.
