CISA's Chris Butera says CyberSentry "remains fully operational" even though LLNL experts can't analyze its data. He acknowledges CISA is conducting a "review of its agreement" with LLNL but seems to suggest it'll be renewed, saying "we look forward to a continued partnership."

Arizona's recent election-office cyberattack highlighted how CISA's downsizing has weakened ties with states, one element of the deteriorating critical infrastructure partnerships that I wrote about recently. cyberscoop.com/arizona-secret… cybersecuritydive.com/news/critical-…
I missed this last week, but the Coast Guard's cybersecurity regulations for U.S.-flagged vessels and facilities took effect on July 16. news.uscg.mil/maritime-commo… federalregister.gov/documents/2025…
