Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has formally requested data from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) regarding its staffing levels and engagement activities. The request, made public on June 16, 2026, seeks detailed information on the agency's workforce composition and its interactions with external stakeholders.
In a letter to CISA Director Jen Easterly, Warner asked for a breakdown of personnel by role and location, as well as metrics on engagements with private sector partners, state and local governments, and international allies. The senator emphasized the need for transparency as CISA expands its mission to counter evolving cyber threats.
Warner's request comes amid ongoing debates in Congress about the agency's budget and authority. CISA has faced scrutiny over its handling of election security and critical infrastructure protection. The agency is expected to respond within 30 days.
