2018 ELECTION SECURITY PLAYBOOK

Partnership With Federal Agencies At the Federal level, election systems are designated as critical infrastructure by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This designation ensures election systems receive top priority cybersecurity assistance from DHS. Additionally, our office is in direct communication with the FBI, DHS, and EAC. As an example, the Department of Homeland Security National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center provides OCROV weekly cyber hygiene assessment reports. This report is intended to provide our office information regarding our office’s internet accessible networks and hosts. This report includes vulnerability scan results, new vulnerabilities detected and mitigated vulnerabilities on internet facing hosts. These federal partnerships also help with the defense of risks presented by Foreign States. Collaborative Intrusion Detection and Prevention System The Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) provides a security network monitoring service, which includes a near real-time automated system that identifies and alerts on traditional and advanced threats on a network, facilitating the rapid identification of threats and attacks.
