Strategic Election Security Solutions in Action

Cyber threats to democracy are a growing global challenge for government agencies, elected officials and election campaigns. The election process involves the protection of many attacker-targeted technologies, including voting machines, electronic poll books, voter registration systems, and campaign databases. Protection of election campaigns, election administration and election systems must also include third-party and supply chain compromise assessment and mitigation strategies to adequately defend democracies and elections from influence, disruption and compromise.

Political parties and their respective campaigns have recently been targeted by hacktivists and advanced persistent threat (APT) groups aiming to influence, propagate disinformation or obtain intelligence. A more strategic approach is needed to protect democracy from cyber threats.
