Election Cybersecurity: Protecting the 2020 U.S. Elections.

Cloudflare is working to ensure the security and reliability of the internet for the upcoming 2020 U.S. elections, as more activities shift online due to COVID-19. The company has observed an increase in DDoS attacks from April to June 2020 and is tracking trends and vulnerabilities to better understand threats against critical election players. Cloudflare's Athenian Project provides security protections for state and local government election websites, while the Cloudflare for Campaigns initiative offers free security protection to political campaigns. The company has seen a significant increase in traffic to election websites and is working with governments under the Athenian Project to prepare for elections by identifying threats and protecting against malicious attacks.
