- A select committee has heard concerns of a former cyber security chief of the NSA
- Rob Joyce has warned that layoffs will have a devastating effect on national security
- More than 100,000 federal workers have become redundant or retired
The Cybersecurity Cybersegiality Committee of the Chinese Communist Party of the Chinese Communist Party has told the Cybersecurity Committee of the National Security Agency (NSA) on how workers in federal departments will have a “devastating impact” on national security and cybersecurity.
More than 100,000 federal workers have been dismissed or took early retirement as part of the new administration’s plans to drastically reduce the federal government workforce. This includes more than 130 trimmed positions of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) of the Department of National Security (CISA).
“I want to raise my serious concerns that aggressive threats to reduce proof employees of the United States government will have a devastating impact on cybersecurity and our national security,” said Joyce.
Corted Budgets
The test staff, or the personnel who have been at their government agency for less than a year, were almost all eliminated in this round of layoffs, which Joyce argues that “will destroy a talented pipe main talents [China backed] threats. ”
Since then, a federal judge in San Francisco has considered that these illegal dismissals and have ordered the agencies that rescind the directives, and the Republicans informed Musk in private to consult the Congress about the cuts.
It should be mentioned that these cuts have arrived largely at the hands of Elon Musk and the Government Efficiency Department (Doge).
More recently, the Technology billionaire orchestrated the closure of the Tech 18F Unit, an engineers and software strategies that attended to the General Services Administration, developing login systems and public orientation IT services.
Musk is an un chosen official, and his plans to reduce federal expenditure have also attracted a wave of demands after privacy complaints, since the department supposedly accessed the details of federal workers “extraordinarily sensitive”.
