Biden’s administration has wasted no time appointing the new federal chief information security officer. They just didn’t tell anyone that Chris DeRusha started on January 25th.
Former Office of Management and Budget officials “made the news” of DeRusha’s appointment, and DeRusha confirmed it by changing his LinkedIn page.
Federal News Network further confirmed DeRusha’s new role with government sources. He replaces Camilo Sandoval, who was federal CISO of the Trump administration for the past month.

The incoming Biden administration is pushing ahead on transitioning IT leadership as Trump administration officials turn over letters of resignation to end their tenures.
As is long-standing tradition, political appointees turn in letters of resignation at the end of one administration for the next administration to decide whether to accept or reject it, according to former federal CIO Tony Scott. In 99.9% of the cases . they accept your resignation and they have somebody else to fill that role, Scott told CIO Dive in November. I m sure the same will be true in this turnover.
So-called career officials, those not politically appointed, have greater chances of staying in their roles. They can, however, still choose to leave alongside an administration change.
