Rebuilding CISA and securing AI will top Democrats' cybersecurity agenda after they take control of Congress.
That agenda will also likely include local cyber grants, DOGE investigations, and regulatory harmonization.

Trump's AI task force promises to protect America from new security threats and design early warning-protocols for incidents. But it seems to be ignoring the agency with the most expertise on those issues.
