Securing Election Systems Against Cyber Attacks: Risks and Solutions for 2018, 2020 and Beyond

Tuesday, October 30, 2018 9:00 am - 10:30 am
CSIS Headquarters
 

Please join us on Tuesday, October 30, for a panel discussion on securing election systems against cyber attacks ahead of the midterm elections in November and the presidential election in 2020. 

Following the 2016 election, in which election systems in at least 21 states were targeted by malicious cyber actors, several studies have put forth proposals to secure election systems against cyber threats and restore public trust in the election process, but implementing consistent baseline security practices remains challenging. 

The panel will discuss progress that has been made since the 2016 election, and assess ongoing efforts at the state and national level to secure election systems. Panelists will also discuss what gaps and vulnerabilities still remain, and what steps can be taken in preparation for the upcoming elections.
