The Two-Year Anniversary of The Athenian Project: Preparing for the 2020 Elections

Cloudflare's Athenian Project, launched two years ago, aims to protect state and local government election websites from cyber attacks by providing its highest level of services for free. The project aligns with the company's mission to help build a better internet and ensure citizens' right to information. Since its inception, Cloudflare has helped 156 local or state websites in 26 states combat various types of cyber threats. As the 2020 U.S. elections approach, the need for security protection of critical election infrastructure is more important than ever. The company plans to continue learning and adapting its services to better protect these sites and assist state and local election websites in preparing for upcoming elections.
