Summary

CrowdStrike emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity in elections, highlighting the persistent and evolving threats posed by various adversaries who aim to disrupt democratic processes. The document outlines several key threats, including breaches, misinformation and disinformation campaigns, supply-chain attacks, and broader security challenges, such as physical intimidation. CrowdStrike advocates for a comprehensive security approach that involves understanding the threat landscape, employing risk-informed defenses, building capacity to detect and respond to threats, and fostering collaboration across the election ecosystem. Through partnerships and resources like its Cybersecurity and Election Security Resource Center, CrowdStrike aims to strengthen the resilience of election security by encouraging stakeholders to adopt best practices and leverage managed security services. The ongoing efforts by governments and organizations to invest in and support election security are acknowledged, though the text underscores that further action is needed to address the real and emboldened threats facing elections globally.
