CISA is getting a new acting director after less than a year

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, is getting a new acting director, as reported by ABC, less than a year after Madhu Gottumukkala took charge of the agency as deputy director and acting director in May 2025.

CISA's executive assistant director for cybersecurity, Nick Andersen, will become the agency's new acting director while Gottumkkala will now be serving as director of strategic implementation at DHS.
