NBC News spoke with several former White House and government cybersecurity experts who focused on a handful of areas that need to be addressed to secure the U.S. voting process.
to protect against foreign election interference, there is still much more that could be done if the federal government were fully committed to stopping it.The U.S. election system includes federal agencies, state and local election offices, political parties and campaigns, and tech companies that each have a role to play in ensuring the integrity of the voting process.
R. David Edelman, director of the Project on Technology, the Economy and National Security at MIT’s Internet Policy Research Initiative, said that Homeland Security needs to coordinate the efforts of agencies in order to maximize federal resources addressing election meddling. “We’ve had a 20-year deficit in cybersecurity staff across governments and corporate America,” Payton said. “What I would love to see is an ongoing bootcamp ... that would be sharing of best practices, things that the government is seeing, things that the states are seeing, tips, tools, tricks, what’s working, what’s not working.
Other experts suggested that DHS could help put together a series of tools and resources for campaigns to use, noting that some agencies already provide a variety of recommendations on digital security. Those tools might also push candidates to begin taking cybersecurity more seriously from the start of their campaigns.
