CISA’s operational continuity during a funding lapse creates a concrete security liability—the agency responsible for coordinating vulnerability disclosures and defending critical infrastructure is now running on fumes while adversaries exploit the visibility gap.

This is tactical advantage handed to sophisticated actors precisely when DHS infrastructure sits exposed.
