CISA Retires Six Cybersecurity Assessments for Critical Infrastructure Amid Rising Threats

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is discontinuing six free cybersecurity assessments for critical infrastructure organizations, including Cyber Resilience Reviews and Ransomware Readiness Assessments. This decision, attributed to reducing redundancy and growing workload pressures, comes as CISA has reportedly lost approximately one-third of its workforce since the beginning of the second Trump administration. Critics express concern that this move removes vital support for organizations, particularly smaller entities, at a time of increasing cyber threats.
