Cybersecurity in elections encompasses a wide range of concerns, including protecting voter privacy, ensuring accurate vote counting, and preventing foreign interference.

Election hacking specifically refers to cyberattacks that target voting machines or election infrastructure to manipulate votes or disrupt the electoral process.

Disinformation refers to the deliberate spread of false or misleading information with the intent to deceive or manipulate public opinion.

Phishing attacks attempt to trick individuals into providing personal information, such as passwords or credit card numbers, by sending emails or messages that appear to come from legitimate sources.

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks involve flooding a website or online service with so much traffic that it becomes inaccessible to legitimate users.

Risk assessment involves identifying and evaluating potential threats and vulnerabilities to determine the appropriate security measures to implement.

Encryption involves transforming data into a format that can only be decrypted with a specific key, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the information.

Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of identification, such as a password, a security token, or a biometric identifier.

Incident response involves the processes and procedures for detecting, containing, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents.

Patch management involves regularly applying security updates and patches to software and systems to fix known vulnerabilities and protect against cyberattacks.

Vulnerability assessment involves identifying and evaluating weaknesses in a system or network that could be exploited by attackers.

Penetration testing involves simulating a cyberattack to identify vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of security controls.

Security awareness training involves educating and training individuals about cybersecurity risks and best practices to help them protect themselves and their organizations from cyberattacks.

Data destruction involves implementing policies and procedures to ensure the secure disposal of sensitive information to prevent unauthorized access or recovery.

Data backup involves making regular copies of data to protect against data loss or corruption.
