The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is working to contain a significant data leak while members of Congress formally demand answers about the breach. The incident raises questions about the security posture of the US government's own cybersecurity agency.

A data breach at CISA undermines trust in the agency responsible for coordinating national cybersecurity defense. The incident could accelerate legislative efforts to mandate stricter security controls across federal agencies and their contractors, potentially affecting government technology procurement processes.
