The Trump administration has disbanded the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), ending one of the few bright spots at CISA.

The Cyber Safety Review Board — a Department of Homeland Security investigatory body stood up under a Biden-era cybersecurity executive order to probe major cybersecurity incidents — has been cleared of non-government members as part of a DHS-wide push to cut costs under the Trump administration, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The Department of Homeland security told members of the Cyber Safety Review Board that their membership was terminated.

House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) told Nextgov/FCW that "President Trump's new DHS leadership should have the opportunity to decide the future of the Board. This could include appointing new members, reviewing its structure, or deciding if the Board is the best way to examine cyber intrusions."

Some experts are concerned that the dismissal of the Cyber Safety Review Board removes a critical security blanket and cancels a report that could have been valuable to cybersecurity leaders.

The Department of Homeland Security advisory committee was investigating a Chinese hack into U.S. telecommunications.

DHS terminates advisory committees, including CSRB, halting investigations into Chinese cyberattacks and AI safety.

Just a day after he was inaugurated, US President Donald J. Trump axed members of the nation’s Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), among others.
