Reps. Jim Langevin (left) and Mike Gallagher want to give CISA $400 million more in funding.
Several bipartisan congressional initiatives are seeking to expand the mission of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The recently announced proposals call for CISA to beef up its staff, provide additional incident response services to organizations outside the government, conduct a five-year national risk management cycle review and take the lead in notifying the federal government about major breaches in all sectors.
Push for Additional Funding
On Monday, Reps. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., and Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., released a letter sent to the House Committee on Appropriations asking for a $400 million increase in funding for CISA as part of the fiscal 2022 federal budget so the agency can expand its mission.
