As discussions heat up around proposed cuts to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under the Trump administration, it's vital to recognize the potential implications for our national security. In an era where cyber threats are escalating, reducing resources for a key agency responsible for safeguarding our critical infrastructure feels like a step backward. From a Systems Modeling & Simulation perspective, we rely on robust data and resilient systems to simulate and predict vulnerabilities. Cutting funding could hinder our ability to prepare for and respond to increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Investing in cybersecurity is not just about protection; it’s about ensuring the integrity and resilience of our entire digital landscape. Let’s prioritize safety and innovation over short-term savings!
