Trump nominates Palantir security chief Michael LoSapio to lead CISA, CyberScoop reports

President Donald Trump has nominated Palantir chief information security officer Michael LoSapio to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, CyberScoop reports. Trump’s previous pick, Sean Plankey, withdrew in April after stalling in the Senate. The outlet says LoSapio could face resistance amid Democratic scrutiny of Palantir’s Homeland Security work; the company denies aiding mass surveillance of immigrants.
