Sean Plankey asked President Donald Trump to withdraw his nomination to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency after thirteen months without an expected Senate confirmation. His withdrawal comes amid senatorial holds over unrelated issues, the recent confirmation of DHS Secretary MarkWayne Mullin, and ongoing leadership and budget upheaval at CISA. #SeanPlankey #CISA

Tom Parker has emerged as a possible candidate to lead CISA after 16 months without a Senate-confirmed director, drawing support for his mix of technical expertise, business experience, and public-sector cybersecurity policy work. If nominated, he would face a difficult confirmation process and the challenge of restoring trust in CISA while addressing AI-driven threats and strengthening partnerships with industry. #CISA #TomParker #MarkwayneMullin #SeanPlankey #RonWyden #SaltTyphoon
