That\u2019s something that\u2019s more \u201cacute\u201d amid personnel cuts, she said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe top risk is a reduction in the cybersecurity workforce, where people might be furloughed as nonessential, which would mean that there\u2019s less people working on some of the cybersecurity issues, but also that it may take more time to address any issues that come in during a shutdown,\u201d said Clarke, now senior director of cybersecurity services at Venable, who also worked at the Federal Emergency Management Agency during the first Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>DHS under Trump hasn\u2019t been \u201cforthcoming\u201d about matters like how many CISA personnel would be sidelined in the event of a shutdown, said Thomas Warrick, nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, who worked at DHS during Republican and Democratic administrations. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-09\/23_0926_dhs_procedures_related_to_lapse_in_appropriations_september_2023.pdf\">most recent guidance<\/a> from 2023 is no longer on the DHS website, but the Biden administration determined that there would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2023\/10\/02\/cyber-officials-dodged-bullet-after-shutdown-avoided-threat-looms\/\">exemptions from furloughs<\/a> for \u201c960 personnel (or 30 percent), with an additional 790 employees (or 25 percent) recallable\u201d at CISA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are at an especially awkward moment, because the Trump administration has not rolled out its vision for cybersecurity, and many of the signs of their immediate actions are troubling both the markets and the cybersecurity community,\u201d Warrick said. \u201cThe possibility of a shutdown affects the things that have been broken to a greater extent than functions that just keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very worried that a shutdown would further magnify the damage the Trump administration has already done to our cybersecurity \u2013 at CISA and throughout the Federal government,\u201d Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the top Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee, told CyberScoop. \u201cPresently, we have no clarity on what cyber positions will be deemed essential. The last time Trump forced us into a shutdown, critical staff at CISA were furloughed so I am not confident that the administration will take this seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The House is set to vote Tuesday on a continuing resolution to keep the government funded. The Senate would also need to act on any continuing resolution. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cyber executives <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/government-shutdown-would-cause-terrible-disruptions-to-federal-cyber-defenses-industry-leaders-say\/\">warned about the risks<\/a> a shutdown poses at a hearing in 2023, and among those who testified were an Armis executive. Another Armis official sounded a hopeful note this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause many of our cyber warriors are considered essential personnel, I believe that their function would not \u2014 and should not \u2014 be impacted by a shutdown,\u201d Tom Guarente, vice president of external and government affairs for Armis, said via email.<\/p>\n<p>More threats may already be materializing just amid the prospect of a shutdown.
