Cyber Policy Initiative Executive Director Jake Braun Discusses 2020 Election Security

Harris Public Policy Lecturer and Cyber Policy Initiative Executive Director Jake Braun was featured in the Boston Review, writing an opinion piece laying out how to protect the security of the 2020 election. 

“Over the last few years four key weaknesses have emerged in our election ecosystem: flawed infrastructure that invariably breaks, organically generated conspiracies and public outcry, vulnerability to low-cost, unattributable system hacks, and susceptibility to trolls and bots," Braun said. "Each of these weaknesses is problematic enough on its own, but taken together they compound the effect of one another to generate a seemingly insurmountable challenge. To ensure the integrity of our elections, we must understand the vulnerabilities as a whole rather than comfort them in isolation."
