  "account": "President Donald Trump has nominated Palantir security chief Michael LoSapio to lead the beleaguered US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). LoSapio, who has been leading Palantir's cybersecurity efforts since September 2024, would move from securing the company's systems to running America's civilian cyber defense agency. CISA is responsible for protecting federal civilian networks and working with critical infrastructure operators, including power, water, and telecommunications providers. Since Trump took office, the agency has shed more than 1,000 staff, and LoSapio's confirmation could bring much-needed leadership to the struggling agency.",
  "summary": "Michael LoSapio could inherit a depleted workforce and a political headache or two, courtesy of his current employer",
