Yesterday, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced that three new administration appointees joined the agency in leadership roles. Nitin Natarajan joined CISA as its Deputy Director, Eric Goldstein as Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity, and Dr. David Mussington as Executive Assistant Director for Infrastructure Security. Natarajan was most recently a Director at Avantus Federal in the Homeland Security and Federal Civilian markets. Goldstein served on the administration’s Agency Review Team before joining CISA and brings a depth of cybersecurity experience from both the public and private sectors. Mussington served most recently as Professor of the Practice – and Director of the Center for Public Policy and Private Enterprise – at the School of Public Policy, University of Maryland College Park. “CISA is gaining strong advocates and leaders with these appointments, and I welcome them to the team,” said CISA Acting Executive Director Brandon Wales. “Their appointments this early in the new administration signals a commitment to CISA’s mission and the recognition of our role in defending the nation’s critical infrastructure against cyber and physical threats.” Read more at WaterISAC.
