Defending Democracy: Cyber Threats & Foreign Interference in U.S. Elections
The upcoming U.S. elections will shape critical policies, but face threats of disinformation and foreign interference. In the lead-up to election day, safeguarding democracy requires vigilance, awareness, and proactive measures.

The combined group brought a wealth of experience in cybersecurity, law, policy, and national security. They explored key topics including foreign and domestic disinformation campaigns, critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in both cyber attacks and defense.
