CYBERSECURITY ADVISORY
Decoding the Mystery.
OUR ROLE
As election administration subject matter experts, our Cybersecurity Advisory is a consulting service offered to:
Commercial Vendors of cyber security Apps and services from the consumer-facing brands (e.g., McAfee) to B2B consultancies (e.g., Accenture Labs, Mitre, DXC Technology, etc.)
Election Administrators from the state secretaries offices out to the city, county, and township registrars.
OSET INSTITUTE ACTIVITY BREAKDOWN
IMPORTANCE
This work is vital to helping all parties understand the role of digital security in election administration.
IMPACT
This aspect of the Institute’s activities provides a variety of windfall benefits.
This aspect of the Institute’s work consumes about 10% of our total activities. To deliver and fortify this subject matter expertise, we also collaborate with several cybersecurity firms and academic research organizations.
Our election security advisory is a windfall for our collaboration with NBCUniversal Vote Watch and other news and information platforms, as it provides on-air subject matter experts.
This work also drives the public education component of our mission, where we produce content to help demystify elections and explain how they actually work, principally through our citizen-facing initiative: the TrustTheVote Project.
