Cybersecurity in elections

Cybersecurity in elections refers to protecting the digital systems and data involved in the electoral process from attacks and manipulation. This includes safeguarding voting machines, registration databases, and the overall integrity of election infrastructure from hacking or disruptions. Ensuring cybersecurity helps maintain public trust in election outcomes by preventing interference from malicious actors, such as foreign governments or cybercriminals. Cybersecurity measures include monitoring networks for threats, using secure technology, and educating election officials about potential risks to uphold fair and transparent democratic processes.
