We have worked well together with Border Crossings being way down. Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector,\u201d President Donald Trump tweeted Oct. 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With McAleenan\u2019s departure, the DHS is now poised for its third secretary this year following Kirstjen Nielsen\u2019s departure in April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DHS\u2019 Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, tasked with protecting the country\u2019s critical infrastructure from cyberattacks, spearheads the department\u2019s cybersecurity initiatives. With the cybersecurity threat landscape expanding, sources have told Fifth Domain in the past that part of CISA\u2019s success rests on a secretary who prioritizes cybersecurity. McAleenan\u2019s entire government career was with Customs and Border Protection, where he eventually became commissioner. At a time when DHS is primarily focused on the southern border, McAleenan in recent weeks has publicly shown his backing for CISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McAleenan\u2019s immigration background didn\u2019t hamper DHS\u2019 cybersecurity mission, a top CISA official said in recent weeks. Matthew Travis, CISA\u2019s deputy director, said at the agency\u2019s second annual cybersecurity summit Sept. 19 that McAleenan\u2019s took cybersecurity seriously in his role as acting secretary, a role he\u2019s had since last April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can\u2019t tell you how encouraged we were from the get-go at the active engagements he has with us starting on Day One when he took office and every day since then,\u201d said Travis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His abrupt departure comes just days after <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DHSMcAleenan\/status\/1182324895969087488?s=20\" target=_blank>he visited CISA\u2019s offices <\/a>and watched a demonstration of a phishing attack on critical infrastructure. He said in a tweet that the demonstration \u201cshowcased the imperative work these security professionals undertake daily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McAleenan also recently spoke at CISA\u2019s second annual national cybersecurity summit, where he outlined CISA\u2019s achievements since it was established late last year and emphasized the importance of the agency\u2019s work in protecting critical infrastructure and elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNation-state adversaries work to identify and exploit technological points of leverage for maximum injury to American critical infrastructure,&#8221; McAleenan said Sept. 19 at the summit. &#8220;Bad actors are using cyber as a means to disrupt and sow discord in our democratic institutions &#8230; That is where CISA comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Oct. 10, McAleenan spoke at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce\u2019s annual cybersecurity summit, where he called CISA\u2019s work \u201cunique and critical.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The president said he will announced a new acting secretary next week. Meanwhile, the top ranks of DHS are filled by several unconfirmed, acting officials, prompting Rep. Bennie Thompson \u2014 D-Miss., and chairman of the House Homeland Security committee \u2014 to call on Trump to quickly nominate someone a permanent secretary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe next secretary must be able to convey to the American people that the federal government is focused on keeping the country safe from the top threats we face,\u201d Thompson said in a statement. \u201cWe know this includes securing our elections from foreign influence, countering domestic terrorism, and ensuring foreign fighters abroad do not come here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin McAleenan, acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, is leaving the
