""Since the beginning of this administration, CISA has made significant 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.""
"In a now-deleted LinkedIn post, the US Military Academy at West Point announced that Easterly - who graduated from West Point in 1990 - would return to the academy as a Robert F. McDermott Distinguished Chair in West Point's Department of Social Sciences, where she previously taught economics and national security. Soon after, far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer criticized Easterly's appointment on X, and the next day, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll directed West Point to rescind Easterly's offer before she even began her new gig."
CISA confirmed it will not attend the RSA Conference in March. A spokesperson said the agency has focused on returning to its statutory core mission and on President Trump's policies for maximum security. The spokesperson said CISA reviewed stakeholder engagements and determined non-participation would ensure maximum impact and good stewardship of taxpayer dollars, and declined to link the decision to Jen Easterly's new RSAC role. Easterly previously led CISA under the Biden administration, faced controversy over a West Point appointment that was rescinded, and has since joined RSAC as its CEO. Reports say White House cyber offices discussed canceling appearances.
