June 5, 2024, WASHINGTON – As the 2024 election season begins, Defending Digital Campaigns (DDC), a nonprofit, non-partisan and non-aligned C4 organization that provides free or low-cost cybersecurity resources to political campaigns, yesterday co-hosted with Google the Campaign Security Summit: Protecting America’s Democracy in Cambridge, Mass. The summit was part of the Campaign Security Project in which Google and DDC host a series of regional summits for high-risk election-related stakeholders.
“In this important election year, maintaining the digital integrity of political campaigns at every level is crucial,” said Michael Kaiser, president & CEO of Defending Digital Campaigns. “The summit brought together leaders from both parties and cybersecurity experts who discussed the threat landscape facing political campaigns both nationally and in Massachusetts. With a concerted bipartisan effort, and by putting the right tools and practices in place, we can help protect campaigns from cyber incidents that have the potential to do significant damage.”
