The Brief · written from 2 sources
- President Trump nominated Michael LoSapio, chief information security officer at Palantir, to be director of CISA on Monday, November 10, 2026.
- CISA has been without a Senate-confirmed director, and LoSapio would replace Acting Director Nick Andersen.
- The nomination still requires Senate confirmation.
Why it matters
CISA sets federal cybersecurity direction and guidance that many organisations follow, so the choice of director can shape its priorities and advisories. The nominee comes from a private-sector security role at Palantir.
