The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has developed an election security plan that flags patching barriers and voter database attacks as key areas of concern, according to SecurityWeek.
The plan was requested by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin in July. It specifically calls out difficulties in applying patches as a barrier to securing election infrastructure, and it points to voter database attacks as a significant threat.
The SecurityWeek report offers limited detail beyond these two focal points, but the emphasis suggests CISA is prioritizing both operational vulnerabilities and direct attacks on voter records.
