The decade-old Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center is on the chopping block as part of cuts at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Under the “ODNI 2.0” reforms advanced by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the CTIIC will be among the offices to be disbanded. ODNI is “integrating core functions and expertise” from the CTIIC and several other offices into ODNI’s Mission Integration and National Intelligence Council, according to a fact sheet detailing the cuts.

Gabbard’s team at ODNI has determined the CTIIC is “redundant” given that “other elements” on the National Intelligence Council already monitor cyber threat intelligence. “Additionally, numerous entities exist in the Executive Branch for the coordination of cyber issues,” the fact sheet argues.
