Easterly, Jen



U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director, Jul 2021 – present. Morgan Stanley (investment bank) data breach Head of Cybersecurity, Feb 2017 – Jul 2021. See IT Hiring: Government, Business, and the Revolving Door in Principles of IT Incompetence.

No IT education. An IT education is the most important IT credential and Easterly only has a bachelor's degree in a subject she won't reveal — so almost certainly not in IT — and a Master of Arts in "politics, philosophy, and economics" from a foreign university.

An FOIA request for Easterly's annual salary is being made to CISA, via the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. If this statement is still here it means they have not responded; it may take months or years, if ever; see FOIA: That's Some Exemption, That Exemption 6.

From Nuclear 9/11:
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is the U.S. Government agency, nominally overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, responsible for the cybersecurity of infrastructure like power plants, including nuclear power plants. I first wrote about CISA, back when it was the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), in Handing Over America's Electrical Grid to the Russians. More recently, CISA may have been hacked in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach and is implicated in the possible hacking of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, the security of which CISA was also responsible for.

Jen Easterly is (Jul 2021 – present) the Director of CISA, nominated by President Joe Biden. Easterly is IT incompetent. An IT education is the most important IT credential and Jen Easterly only has a bachelor's degree in a subject she won't reveal — so almost certainly not in IT — and a Master of Arts in "politics, philosophy, and economics" from a foreign university. Before CISA, Easterly was Head of Cybersecurity for investment bank Morgan Stanley from Feb 2017 – Jul 2021, during which time Morgan Stanley had a data breach for which they were fined $60 million.
From CISA: No Infrastructure Cybersecurity, Just a Stepping Stone for IT Incompetents:
As I wrote in Nuclear 9/11, Jen Easterly is (Jul 2021 – present) now the Director of CISA, nominated by President Joe Biden (see U.S. Surrenders in IT War, Starts Paying Tribute to Russia). Easterly is IT incompetent. Again, an IT education is the most important IT credential and Easterly only has a bachelor's degree in a subject she won't reveal — so almost certainly not in IT — and a Master of Arts in "politics, philosophy, and economics" from a foreign university. Jen Easterly was added to the Government and Business IT Incompetents Hall Of Shame when I wrote Nuclear 9/11. Before CISA, Easterly was Head of Cybersecurity for investment bank Morgan Stanley from Feb 2017 – Jul 2021, during which time Morgan Stanley had a data breach for which they were fined $60 million. CISA is IT incompetent Jen Easterly's next stepping stone, part of the government-business revolving door.

Nitin Natarajan is (Feb 2021 – present) now the Deputy Director of CISA. Nitin Natarajan is IT incompetent. Again, an IT education is the most important IT credential and Natarajan only has a bachelor's degree in a subject he won't reveal — so almost certainly not in IT — and a non-IT Master of Arts. Natarajan started as a paramedic (in ambulances) for several years and leveraged that experience to get somewhat-related jobs in the government, stepping his way up. CISA is IT incompetent Nitin Natarajan's next stepping stone. While it might seem that paramedic experience could be helpful when a nuclear power plant undergoes a hacking and forced meltdown — even if caused by Natarajan's IT incompetence — Natarajan resides around Washington D.C. (as does Jen Easterly) and will be among the first to die horribly from radiation sickness when the Peach Bottom nuclear power plant is cyberattacked; see Hacking and Forced Meltdown of Nuclear Power Plants: Upwind of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia.

Jen Easterly and Nitin Natarajan are obvious examples of IT Hiring: Trading IT Competence for Diversity in Principles of IT Incompetence and are part of President Biden's scheme of playing the sexism and racism cards whenever possible and at whatever cost, including national security (Biden should note though that the racism card just backfired big time in the elections a week ago in Virginia, where I vote, albeit not confidently that the elections weren't hacked). As I wrote in Hacking and Forced Meltdown of Nuclear Power Plants: Upwind of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, radiation sickness is equal opportunity death. It doesn't care about diversity; it kills regardless of sex or race ... or political affiliation.
