Defending Digital Democracy

The Intelligence Project will host a webinar with the Honorable Mike Rogers, Belfer Center Senior Fellow and Former Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and David E. Sanger, Belfer Center Senior Fellow, adjunct lecturer at the Kennedy School and national security correspondent and senior writer at The New York Times, on Tuesday May 13th from 12:45-2:00pm via zoom. 

This session will be recorded and on the record. Priority registration will be given to Harvard students, staff, faculty, fellows, and affiliates. Please register below for access to the zoom link. 

This event is limited to state and local election officials only. 

Since our inception in 2017, the Belfer Center’s Defending Digital Democracy Project (D3P) has been committed to aiding election officials in protecting the core of American democracy--the election process. After the past three years of training, outreach, and research, we remain humbled by the complexity and enormity of the challenges you and your teams face. Just as you continue your work to serve the American people, we continue our work to serve you. With that, D3P would like to invite you to a new training exercise: Battlestaff Bootcamp. 

The bipartisan Defending Digital Democracy Project (D3P) invite campaign staff from all parties for a special briefing on campaign cyber security based off of the Belfer Center's Campaign Cybersecurity Playbook. Paul Begala and Karl Rove will kick off an important discussion led by former Director of Information Assurance at the NSA, Debora Plunkett, on the steps you can take to secure your campaign organization now.

*NOTE: You must be currently affiliated with a registered campaign in the United States to sign up for the call. 

This discussion brings together leading voices from politics, national security and technology to examine threats and strategies for safeguarding our democratic institutions.
