CISA Releases Election Security Plan 40 Days Before Midterms

CISA released a 13-page election infrastructure security plan on Thursday, 40 days before November's midterms, promising free cybersecurity and physical security services to state and local officials. The plan arrived after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's promised mid-August deadline, following the Trump administration's cuts of roughly 1,000 CISA employees and $10 million from cybersecurity initiatives.
