In the Cyber Election Security<\/strong> course, I explored the evolving threats to elections, which are fundamental to democracy but increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. By integrating perspectives from cybersecurity, law, public policy, politics, and international affairs, I gained a comprehensive understanding of election security challenges and strategies to mitigate them. The course covered hacking campaigns, voter data vulnerabilities, election equipment security flaws, and manipulation through disinformation. I also examined legal and policy perspectives, the role of election systems as critical infrastructure, and methods for building public trust through secure practices. Additionally, I learned about phishing and ransomware threats targeting elections, along with key voting system security measures to defend against cyber threats and ensure election integrity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From securing physical voting machines to protecting online voter databases, the course illustrated how intentional design plays a role in safeguarding democracy. The experience reaffirmed that election security is not just a technical issue, it is a societal responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
