Trump’s pick to run US cyber agency CISA asks to drop out

Sean Plankey, Trump's nominee to lead CISA, has withdrawn his nomination after over a year in the Senate confirmation process due to lack of support. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) blocked the nomination over a Coast Guard contract dispute unrelated to cybersecurity. The agency now operates under acting director Nick Andersen following Madhu Gottumukkala's February departure.
