In the aftermath of the 2016 election you saw a real increased focus on cybersecurity, not that it had not always been there, but when you are dealing with nation state adversaries, that is a level of sophistication and resources that really demands extra attention.
Because of all of those factors, I was extremely fortunate to be asked to moderate a series of webinars, town halls and fireside chats with election officials from around the country who are working tirelessly to ensure that the integrity of the election is maintained, that every vote will count and that the safety and security of both the ballots and poll workers remains a top priority.
Everyone I spoke with was highly aware of a multitude of potential threats targeting the pending election, but also confident that their planning, sometimes years in the making, would allow them to overcome any challenge.
We had increased talk about mis- and disinformation, and from the challenges of that false and misleading information, we are also seeing that election officials have to adapt their strategies to combat this issue.
