CISA has terminated a $10m partnership w/ the Center for Internet Security to run the info sharing & analysis centers (ISACs) for state & local govts and elections.

Spox says work "no longer effectuates [DHS] priorities" & cut will focus CISA on "mission critical areas" & "eliminate redundancies."
