Into the Election: Two CISOs and a FBI Agent Discuss Election Integrity Episode 109

Published: Oct. 23, 2020, 11 p.m.

It’s that fun time of the year when we all have or will be voting.  Families, counties, and the country stand divided and under the influence of foreign intelligence services and criminal enterprise.  Our panel discusses many of these topics, including coverage on deep fakes, censorship issues, disinformation campaigns, and the real threat of foreign influence and election intervention.  How can we verify what we think we know?  How can we better discern what’s out in the environment?  In the news summary, Matt reviews the Federal Election Assistance Commission, the Google News Initiative, and a potpourri of stories that show the impacts from disinformation regarding False Claims of Hacked Voter Information Likely Intended to Cast Doubt on Legitimacy of U.S. Elections to how Twitter and other platforms censor stories related to the election.

Our panel discussion with Darren Mott, FBI Special Agent (Ret.) AKA “The Cybur Guy,” John Virden, Assistant Vice President for Security, Compliance, and Risk Management and CISO at Miami University, and Sam Horowitz, Chief Information Security Officer at UCSB, focuses on our impending election.
