U.S. security agencies are working closely with the presidential campaigns to safeguard against foreign attacks on the 2020 election.
ahead of the 2020 election. Those efforts come even while President Donald Trump, fighting for another term, continues to downplay the risk posed by foreign interference in U.S. elections.
With the presidential candidates’ headquarters scattered across the country, local FBI field offices have made contact with the campaigns and the big political committees, providing counterintelligence briefings to those who want them. Homeland Security, through its Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, has been notifying campaigns about its cyber incident response teams that can be immediately deployed to help them in a crisis. A few campaigns have even invited the agency’s “protective security advisers” to come to their headquarters and offices to perform physical security assessments, DHS officials said.
A few campaigns, including South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s emphasized that they have a full-time cybersecurity expert on staff. Still other campaigns, like Sen. Cory Booker’s, D-N.J., declined to comment on any interaction with U.S. security agencies. But Andrew Binns, the chief technology officer of the 2020 Democratic National Convention and founder of cybersecurity firm Castle Point Technologies, noted that these agencies face an important obstacle — the lack of security clearances by most even senior campaign staff.
