# Webinar: Securing Elections Systems: Risks and Solutions

*2019-06-11 · On-Demand*

## Event description

The 2020 elections are expected to attract record numbers of voters. Local governments need to prepare to manage a bigger turnout — and the potential for contentious results given the current political climate. But many polling sites – parks, churches, schools, etc. – are remote, making permanent, highly-secure network connections impractical. 

How can cities and counties reduce the risks of unsecured networks and compromised voter data?

You will learn:
- The current elections landscape
- How city and county IT staff can spin up, spin down and manage networks, ensure site-to-site transmission protection and provide safe network communication
- Tactics local governments can use to ensure reliable, secure connectivity for pop-up voting centers

## Speakers

- Todd Krautkremer, Chief Marketing Officer, Cradlepoint
- Otto Doll, former Minneapolis CIO and Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government Moderate
