Chris Krebs

Chris Krebs is an American cybersecurity expert who served as the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) under President Trump and briefly under President Biden. In this role, he was responsible for protecting the nation's critical infrastructure from cyber threats and ensuring the security of elections. Krebs is known for his principled stance on election security and integrity. After publicly affirming that the 2020 election was secure and not compromised, he faced political pressure, which ultimately led to his dismissal in early 2021. His work has been influential in strengthening U.S. cybersecurity defenses.
