I asked @KembaWalden, who is an expert in election security legal issues, about some of the projects she's championing at @Microsoft - read on below #ShareTheMicInCyber #Election2020 👇
@KembaWalden created and lead The Law of Election Security, a roundtable of cyber and elections lawyers from the private sector, and state and federal governments to think creatively on how to improve laws around elections - most recently focused on legislating digital forgeries.
Right now, @KembaWalden is supporting Microsoft’s efforts in campaign security, election integrity, and disinformation defense. Recently, we expanded our offering for #AccountGuard. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/….
To deploy #AccountGuard and other products, @KembaWalden makes sure that Microsoft can offer cybersecurity services in compliance with federal election campaign finance laws and procurement and ethics laws across the states and other democracies.

@KembaWalden: "I'm personally most concerned about how digital forgeries could impact elections. While I support #DefendingDemocracy in developing and deploying tools for defending against disinformation, as a lawyer I’m focused on how the law can help facilitate that process."
@KembaWalden: "My best advice for defeating disinformation is to #VOTE in every election – in my opinion, adversaries are interested in eroding trust in democratic processes and democratic institutions and have won only if they convince us to not exercise the right to vote"
