DHS budget request would cut CISA staff by 1,000 positions

The Trump administration is proposing to cut more than 1,000 positions at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Under the 2026 budget request, CISA would go from approximately 3,732 funded positions today to 2,649 positions next year. The staff reductions are detailed in CISA’s fiscal 2026 budget justification, posted today. They present the most detailed view yet of the Trump administration’s proposal to cut CISA’s budget by nearly $500 million.

The proposed cuts still have to be approved by Congress as part of the 2026 appropriations process. But they come as hundreds of CISA employees have already left under the Trump administration. Meanwhile, more staff could depart through deferred resignations or early retirements offered to DHS staff in April.

The proposed cuts are spread across CISA’s various divisions. CISA’s cybersecurity division would go from 1,267 positions to 1,063 jobs. CISA’s infrastructure security division would go from about 343 positions to 325 jobs.
