Protecting Our Nation�s Election Infrastructure in 2020

This event qualifies for 1 CPEs

Across the globe, elections are under threat of manipulation and interference. Adversaries increasingly attempt to use offensive cyber operations to directly affect political outcomes. From intelligence collection and “hack and leak” campaigns to election infrastructure targeting, nation-state adversaries around the globe see election interference as a means to advance their national security and political interests.

Although different countries and localities administer elections in different ways, a unifying theme is that elections are logistically complex undertakings. Adversaries can achieve their objectives by targeting various aspects of the process — and even relatively minor interventions can undermine voters’ perception of legitimacy.
