Made possible by generous support from
\nThe USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative is a nonpartisan,
\nindependent project designed to inform and educate people in
\ncampaigns and elections on the importance of election
\ncybersecurity. Supported by generous funding from Google, we will
\nbe conducting workshops in person or online in all 50 states before
\nElection Day 2020.<\/p>\n
Because of restrictions on meetings and travel, we will now conduct
\nvirtual workshops of up to two hours, providing best practices in
\nelection cybersecurity. These workshops will be specific to each
\nstate and feature local thought-leaders from each community.
\nThey will provide a forum to showcase and discuss the best and
\nmost up to date practices in cybersecurity, and how they can be
\napplied to campaigns and elections today.
\nDesigned for general audiences rather than technical specialists, our
\nsessions are led by cybersecurity experts from government,
\nindustry, research and academia. They will include simple tools and
\npractices that can help keep our democratic process safe.
\nWe will present material particularly relevant to anyone associated
\nwith campaigns and elections, including candidates, campaign
\nworkers, political parties, media and state and local election
\nworkers.<\/p>\n
