The Future of US Democracy: 2020 Election, Russia, BLM, COVID19 & Social Media

In August 2019, Hold Security ran a table top exercise with Wisconsin Ingragard focusing on potential electronic tampering of the 2020 Wisconsin elections by foreign influences. We leveraged our insights in identifying and reporting Russian interference during the 2016 US election to derive critical lessons. The results were fascinating and scary. In this session, we will focus on the 2020 US election through our unique cybersecurity perspective focusing on current events and technical understanding to analyze use of social media manipulations, civil unrest, disinformation campaigns, cyber attacks, and more.
