ISSA-LA Security Summit 2024

 Democracy is in decline for the 18th consecutive year, and many experts consider the United States a democracy at risk. As a mother, I have also considered what elections might look like when my children vote for the first time in 2028. We strive for free and fair elections but our foreign enemies want to disrupt and derail those processes, flooding our networks and media with attacks.

This apolitical presentation explores the various dimensions of cyber threats targeting elections, focusing on disinformation campaigns, ransomware attacks, and the rise of political extremism and violence. You will be empowered to protect democratic processes in an increasingly digital age and navigate a messy political information landscape.
