2018 ELECTION SECURITY PLAYBOOK
Rehearsing Responses to Incidents We will be periodically rehearing our responses to physical and cybersecurity incidents. This will help employees understand their responsibilities, as well as to refine the response plan based on findings from the rehearsals. Crew Resource Management Crew Resource Management (CRM) is a training program which encompasses a wide range of knowledge, skills, and attitudes including communications, situational awareness, problem-solving, decision making, and teamwork; together with each of the sub-disciplines that each of these areas entail. CRM training is conducted at the OCROV, and its concepts are reinforced by the Registrar of Voters. CRM empowers employees to respond, make decisions, and communicate effectively during an incident. Current and Future State Controls in Place Our office has implemented physical and cybersecurity controls as outlined throughout this playbook. We have also established partnerships with federal and local agencies to assist with our efforts and to share information. We have incorporated extensive physical and cybersecurity training for our employees. We have also developed an incident response plan in order to be prepared to respond to an incident. There are additional security measures in place that are not shared with the public to ensure that these additional mitigation efforts are not compromised. Plans for 2018 2018 is an election year, which means we will be required to execute on many of the planning efforts described in this playbook. Many of the controls that have been put in place will be acted upon as we approach the election. Additionally, we will utilize the partnerships we have established by increasing our frequency of communication and establishing checkpoints to evaluate our readiness before the elections. Future Plans Threats are constantly evolving, vulnerabilities are continually being discovered, and new systems are periodically implemented; therefore, the playbook must be used as a foundation and guide for the future. As we implement new systems and processes,
