About this talk

With a new election around the corner and last election's voting dramas still in our minds, security concerns around digital voting booths are at an all time high. Not only does a democracy require a secure voting system to function at all, but the voting public must be able to feel confident that the election has been handled safely and honestly. Without this trust, our nation’s public institutions could find themselves vulnerable. Despite concerns about criminal interference, a software-powered ballot box remains the most efficient and accessible form of voting that we have – and one that doesn’t look like it will go away any time soon. So how can we strengthen this system and foster confidence in the voting system? What does a truly secure ballot box look like? And is this something that should be modernized or improved upon for future elections? Join hosts Dan Lohrmann and Earl Duby in this election-themed episode of CISO Insights, to hear them and their expert guests take a sharp look at defending the ballot box.
