White House Seeks to Slash CISA Funding by $707 Million

The Trump administration is proposing a $707 million reduction in the budget of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency for fiscal year 2027. A proposal from the Office of Management and Budget indicates that the cut aims to refocus CISA on its core mission: protecting federal networks and critical infrastructure. The goal is also to eliminate “weaponization and waste”.

A new Anthropic model found security problems ‘in every major operating system and web browser’

Anthropic is debuting a new AI model as part of a cybersecurity partnership with Nvidia, Google, Amazon Web Services, Apple, Microsoft, and other companies. Project Glasswing, as it’s called, is billed as a way for large companies, and potentially even the government, to flag vulnerabilities in their systems with virtually no human intervention. Anthropic is offering its launch partners access to Claude Mythos Preview, a new general-purpose model that it’s not currently planning to publicly release due to security concerns.

Sens Rosen, Blackburn, Reps Lee, Fitzpatrick Introduce Bipartisan and Bicameral Legislation to Support & Expand Cybersecurity Apprenticeships

Sens Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Reps Susie Lee (D-NV) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) introduced bipartisan and bicameral legislation to support and expand cybersecurity apprenticeships. The Cyber Ready Workforce Act directs the Department of Labor to establish a grant program to support the creation, implementation, and expansion of registered apprenticeship programs in cybersecurity. 

The 2026 State of AI Traffic & Cyberthreat Benchmark Report

In 2025, the Human Defense Platform processed more than one quadrillion interactions across its global customer base. Researchers analyzed that data to surface a fundamental shift in how the internet operates: automated traffic—all non-human internet traffic—is growing eight times faster than human traffic, AI-driven traffic—traffic generated by or on behalf of AI systems—is the fastest-growing category of internet traffic, and for the first time, AI systems are not just reading the web but transacting on it. Key findings include:

The FCC Got the Router Ban Wrong. It Knew Better.

On March 23, the Federal Communications Commission effectively banned all new foreign-made routers from the U.S. commercial market by adding them to its so-called “covered list.” The action followed a White House-convened interagency National Security Determination issued just three days earlier. The FCC took this action with no notice-and-comment proceeding, no published cost-benefit analysis, and without providing a broad transition process for the affected industry.

Here’s why the Wi-Fi camp is freaking out about the FCC's new router policy

The Federal Communications Commission has banned the sale of all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries unless the supplier applies for and receives a “Conditional Approval” from the Department of War (DoW) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The problem is, the FCC’s broad definition of “foreign produced” means that it will affect essentially all major broadband consumer-premise equipment (CPE) vendors, whether they operate though the service provider or retail channels, according to Counterpoint Research analyst Taimur Zafar. “This is not just about where a router

K-12 Cybersecurity & E-rate Policy Report

This report brings together four streams of evidence that, taken together, make a compelling case for a permanent, well-funded cybersecurity program within E-rate. The evidence is consistent and overwhelming. Schools are already requesting cybersecurity funding at a scale that dwarfs what the current program can support, and the most vulnerable districts are the most active participants. The question before policymakers is not whether the need exists. The data on that is settled. The question is whether the program will be designed to meet it.

FCC Updates Covered List to Include Foreign-Made Consumer Routers, Prohibiting Approval of New Models

The Federal Communications Commission updated its Covered List to include all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries. Routers are the boxes in every home that connect computers, phones, and smart devices to the internet.
