Protecting Democracy: Election Security in 2024

Description:

The 2024 US elections are poised to be a crucial moment in the nation's democratic history. As technology plays an ever-increasing role in the electoral process, many of those in the election space are unaware of the online risks they may face, the resources available to keep their online presence secure, and strategies to mitigate cyber threats.

In this panel, we will bring together stakeholders from civil society organizations, voting rights groups, and technology companies to discuss how to safeguard electoral processes, data integrity, and democratic values.
