In the foreground of this monumental moment, emerging technologies and heightened global tensions confront the resilience of even the world's longest standing democracies. This session will unpack how key international leaders are approaching election security risks to the democratic processes - such as cyber threats, foreign malign influence, and the role of generative AI - and ensure that 2024 is no anomaly, but an inflection point. Join CISA Director Jen Easterly, NCSC CEO Felicity Oswald, and ENISA COO Hans de Vries as they discuss the challenges of protecting democracy.
