Welcome to The Cybersecurity 202! CISA’s \u201cwar on pineapple,\u201d which became a popular model for divisive disinformation campaigns before the 2020 election, is\u00a0no more<\/a>. Now maybe we can finally do something about\u00a0green peppers<\/a> on pizza.<\/p>\n

Democratic lawmakers seem prepared to avert a government shutdown, but the damage to government cybersecurity may already be done.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The House and Senate plan to\u00a0vote today<\/a> on a bill funding government operations through December, narrowly preventing a lapse in appropriations and a furloughing of tens of thousands of workers at midnight. The funding was tied up in a legislative brawl over two massive Democratic spending bills also imperiling Congress’s ability to raise the debt ceiling.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But the image of an institution veering from crisis to crisis in which workers can’t count on a steady paycheck is sure to hurt the government’s ability to compete with the private sector for top-flight cyber talent.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The near-miss comes less than two years after the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. It also comes as the\u00a0Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency\u00a0is embarking on a major initiative to improve the skills and diversity of the cyber workforce, including by offering salaries outside the typical government range for such positions.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very competitive marketplace for cyber talent now, and if you have to worry about your organization being shut down or being required to work without pay, that is not what you want to lead with,”\u00a0Max Stier, president of the nonprofit\u00a0Partnership for Public Service, told me. \u201cThe federal government is already behind the curve in cybersecurity and a shutdown would be the proverbial pulling of the emergency brake.\u201d<\/p>\n
