Following Donald Trump's inauguration, the Department of Homeland Security abruptly terminated various advisory committees, including the Cyber Security Review Board (CSRB), composed of cybersecurity experts from both private and public sectors. Critics argue that this decision is shortsighted and risks U.S. security, especially amidst ongoing cyberattacks from China targeting critical infrastructure. The CSRB was seen as vital for understanding and mitigating these threats, and its dissolution raises alarms about the new administration’s cybersecurity priorities.
Shutting down all DHS advisory boards without consideration of the impact was horribly shortsighted. Stopping the CSRB review when China has ongoing cyber attacks into our critical infrastructure is a dangerous blunder.
You can't stop what you don't understand and the CSRB was arming us with understanding, especially regarding the recent breaches allegedly carried out by Chinese government hackers.
The fact this isn't a priority for Trump is telling, especially as we face significant cyber threats impacting our national security.
