Campaigns and election officials need to know the best ways to keep their cyber infrastructure safe. We will bring best practices to the forefront of people in campaigns.

Hackers and bad actors are trying to take advantage of unfiltered, unfettered content, so it’s important to know what’s real, and…what’s not. We will address misinformation from deep fake to false advertising and news to help keep you on the lookout.
