Sorry, Donald. Jen Easterly Plans To Make Elections Boring Again.

Donald Trump signed the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency into existence in 2018with the mandate to protect America’s infrastructure from threats digital and physical. Trump also made CISA a household name when he fired the department’s head in 2020for noting that, no, the election was not stolen. Today, we hear from Jen Easterly, the woman who now runs CISA and has the job of preventing another SolarWinds or Colonial Pipeline attack as well as preventing foreign and domestic attacks in an election environment that has become highly politicized. Her goal? Make elections boring again.
