Sean Plankey has been selected by the Trump administration to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). This appointment fills the largest remaining gap among cybersecurity leaders in the second Trump administration. Plankey will replace Karen Evans, who left her position in May. This decision comes as CISA plays a crucial role in securing the 2020 elections. Plankey's nomination still needs to be confirmed by the Senate.
