President Donald Trump nominated Sean Plankey to head the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), according to a White House email sent to journalists on Tuesday.

Plankey has several years of experience working for the U.S. government. In 2013, Plankey gave cybersecurity support to U.S. forces deployed in Afghanistan, then worked at U.S. Cyber Command, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Navy. He also worked in the previous Trump administration as a director for cyber policy on the White House’s National Security Council and later at the Department of Energy, according to Plankey’s LinkedIn. 

Plankey did not respond to a request for comment sent via LinkedIn. 

CISA was previously led by Jen Easterly, who left the agency just prior to the beginning of the new Trump term in January. During his first term, Trump fired CISA’s inaugural director, Chris Krebs, for disputing Trump’s false claims about election fraud.

Plankey’s nomination goes to the Senate for a vote. A date for the vote was not immediately provided.
