Disputes over the 2020 presidential election have persisted for four years.  

This week on Feds At the Edge, we discuss best practices to ensure the 2024 election's safety and accuracy with a focus on the need for robust cybersecurity measures, having a strategy to respond to cyber threats and the need to have strong partnerships with the private sector. 

Lester Godsey, CISO, Enterprise Technology for Maricopa County, Pheonix AZ, highlights the influence of social media on election integrity, suggesting that false information can impact the voter’s predisposition to vote.  

Jim Richberg, Head of Cyber Policy and Global Field CISO for Fortinet, discusses the effects of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation which could cause people’s perception of the election to be altered.
