When I walk On a January day, in Arlington, Virginia, I welcome the office of Jen Wit Virgin, an ambushed shark, ambushed on the ground. I will see a Rubik cube immediately – a prominent feature of Easter – with an organizational logo that he has run for three and a half years – the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency or CISA that President Donald Trump was created in his first period. Kurdish.
Easter, 56, jumped on your feet to say hello to me. The first thing that hit me is his jeans that the dragon has on one leg and a snake on the other. He then updates updates about the animated series “Secure World World” Cisa and expresses regret that he did not spend his time for a private guitar lesson in weeks. It looks like an ordinary day at work for him, except for one thing. Since January 20, the opening day, Easter time in CISA ended. Trump had fired the first agency chief of the agency, after CISA refused to question the totality of the 2020 election, and now says he has not been asked to stay. Rumors are rotating that CISA programs – or even the entire agency – may be beaten Trump soon.
Scheduling cannot be worse losing their cyber security police. A Beijing -related group, Salt Typhoon, spent months walking through American distances and contact reports, recording, text messages and even potential location data. Many experts have called it the largest hack in US telecommunications history. Easter and his agency earlier identified Topson salt activities on federal networks unknowingly – signs that eventually revealed the spy campaign.
The job of removing Chinese spies from the victim’s networks has not been over, but the walls are closing in the CISA. Trump’s nominee Christie Nomi told the Senate Committee last week that the CISA should be “smaller” and “clearer”. And one day after the inauguration, all members of the Cyber Safety Board – appointed by Easter and were seriously investigating the Typhoon salt violations – were released.
When officially became the manager of the second agency, in 2021, the government was still returning from a different large hack – Solorwinds. The Kremlin -backed rapists endangered software to infiltrate US agencies and other targets. Helping American institutions that defend themselves became a more immediate and frustrating project. CISA does not enforce the rules or gather information. Its task is to evaporate from digital security and provide free services, so institutions can see what they have to do to hack or – more realistic – hacking. Easter worked to establish relations throughout the federal government and with state and local officials, corporate executives and tool managers. In crises such as the Salt Typhoon campaign, these relationships are very important for rapid damage.
It takes a charismatic and perhaps a charismatic person to make a report with such a large group of individuals. Eid Pak has a background: He has worked in the army (with numerous establishment), the National Security Agency and the National Security Council under Barack Obama, who has spent nearly five years responsible for Morgan Stanley’s global security. He also helped establish the US Cyber Command at the Department of Defense. Somehow, he is cold. To break the ice, and possibly to imagine, Easter while on the side of the work, relies on his feelings, cubes, and with managers and tool operators throughout the country. And, yes, there is his eclectic style-a long (with cyber security standards, anyway) mixed with alarm and birkensstocks-but also his obsessive and severe obsession in trying to solve the puzzle of digital defense.
