Episode description

With the recent indictments in the ongoing investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, the importance of election security is even more front-and-center. Russian military intelligence officers, or the GRU, successfully hacked the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee, bringing to light vulnerabilities in election infrastructure at the campaign level. Joining host Brian Wesolowski to talk about the key takeaways from the Mueller indictment and share why cybersecurity practices must be a key priority for campaigns and election officials is CDT’s Senior Technologist Maurice Turner.
