I don’t know much about CISA and if their responsibilities are overlapping with other agencies that cover the same things. But one thing that I sometimes think about is that the entire DHS (which CISA is a part of) did not exist until after 9/11. Now it’s a huge organization that is bigger than most large companies even, and expects to spend over $100 billion this year. That is an absolutely massive amount of money - it’s more than what Meta, Google, and Microsoft spend in total on R&D each year!

They just got moved from the departments of treasury, transportation, etc into DHS. It's not like all of that came out of nowhere. The big part of DHS that was new was TSA, for obvious reasons. There's also a ton of growth around cybersecurity, which is a good thing.
