Election Security: International Norms and Threat Actors

Case-Studies in Defending Democracy

Research Report

In 2018, the GRG program conducted an extensive review of current cybersecurity and election security practices around the world for Microsoft’s Digital Democracy Project. The multi-sectioned report included country and region-specific briefings that overviewed current best practices and challenges to international election security. The research team’s language and area experts then formulated two follow up briefs that overviewed strategic threat actors using geopolitical analysis and recommendations for implementable strategies to ensure quick and timely response to election security cyberthreats.
