Week 1 - Public Communications in a Dynamic Election Environment

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency

Participate in a series of election security trainings hosted by CISA's Election Security Initiative.

CISA’s Election Security Initiative (ESI) is hosting a series of virtual trainings for election infrastructure stakeholders later this month. Held from August 25 to 28 and September 1 to 4, the series will cover election security topics relevant to election officials as they make their final preparations for the November general elections, including ransomware, risk management, public communications, and relevant CISA resources and services. Week 1 and Week 2 will cover the same material and participants may join for any combination of the trainings over the two weeks. The session on Friday, August 28 is titled “Public Communications in a Dynamic Election Environment”. Session Description: Communication challenges faced by election officials in the post-2016 environment have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to providing trusted information in an environment of heightened concerns regarding cybersecurity threats to election infrastructure, foreign interference, and mis- and disinformation campaigns, election officials must also communicate accurate, up-to-date information on the new and rapidly changing election processes resulting from the pandemic. This training covers the types of content election officials may want to provide, people who may be able to assist with distributing accurate information, and communication methods. The session also provides resources, services, and best practices to manage public communications risks.<ul><li>Presenters: Jennifer Morrell, CISA Election Security Expert Consultant; Matt Crane, CISA Election Security Expert Consultant </li></ul>If you experience any difficulties with registration, please contact Kathryn Babbin at Kathryn.Babbin@cisa.dhs.gov.
