Made possible by generous support from
The USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative is a nonpartisan,
independent project designed to inform and educate people in
campaigns and elections on the importance of election
cybersecurity. Supported by generous funding from Google, we will
be conducting workshops in person or online in all 50 states before
Election Day 2020.
Because of restrictions on meetings and travel, we will now conduct
virtual workshops of up to two hours, providing best practices in
election cybersecurity. These workshops will be specific to each
state and feature local thought-leaders from each community.
They will provide a forum to showcase and discuss the best and
most up to date practices in cybersecurity, and how they can be
applied to campaigns and elections today.
Designed for general audiences rather than technical specialists, our
sessions are led by cybersecurity experts from government,
industry, research and academia. They will include simple tools and
practices that can help keep our democratic process safe.
We will present material particularly relevant to anyone associated
with campaigns and elections, including candidates, campaign
workers, political parties, media and state and local election
workers.
