Time is of the essence

The importance of safeguarding and strengthening each state’s cybersecurity is at the forefront of our national discourse – and for good reason. The average American doesn’t have a deep understanding of proper cyber protocols and preventative practices, and they aren’t confident their elected officials do either. In addition, the threat environment has never been so vast.

State and non-state actors seek to compromise the U.S.’s democratic institutions through a wide array of potential cyber-attacks. This initiative seeks to prevent that – by starting at the state level. By training state lawmakers, this initiative takes training directly to the frontlines of our democracy – the lawmakers most closely representing everyday Americans – and ensures they are well versed on the threat environment as well as how to mitigate and protect against potential attacks.
