  • Blunting Foreign Interference Efforts by Learning the Lessons of the Past
    GETTY METZEL IMAGES/MIKHAIL Blunting Foreign Interference Efforts by Learning the Lessons of the Past By James Lamond and Jeremy Venook August 2020 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Contents 1 Introduction and summary 2 Assessing interference in the 2016 and 2018 elections 9 Questions remain 14 Recommendations 20 Conclusion 21 About the authors 22 Endnotes Introduction and summary Russia’s interference in America’s 2016 election brought a new reality to the shores of the United States. While countries in Europe, especially the former Soviet states and Warsaw Pact members, were used to dealing with Russian interference in their politics, the United States did not anticipate that a hostile foreign power would attempt to interfere in its democracy. America was caught off guard in 2016, but there are no excuses in future elections. Russia’s interference in the 2016 election has been extensively studied, most recently in a bipartisan report from the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.1 The warning signs of ongoing foreign interference are clear. Understanding the entirety of the 2016 interference operation is important for preventing and mitigating the impact of foreign interference in future U.S. electoral processes. There are concrete lessons that stakeholders can take away from the 2016 experience and specific steps that should be taken between now and any future elections to shield the vote from foreign interference. By better sharing information, increasing transpar- ency for the public, creating deterrence for foreign actors, and—most importantly— being vigilant, the U.S. government, Congress, social media companies, state and local officials, and the public at large can protect itself from the influence of authoritarian leaders.

To start the newsletter, we want to let all DPS readers know about a change in the law regarding Cybersecurity Awareness Training. House Bill 3834, which passed in the last Legislative session, amended Texas Government Code 2054 mandating annual Security Awareness Training for all state employees and contractors (2054.519, Cyber Security Training Requirement). The new law requires all state employees and contractors who have access to the DPS information system or computer to complete a cybersecurity awareness training program every year. It was recently observed users sometimes send emails outside the Agency which have a large number of email recipi- ents. While this is not really a security risk, it could be a business or privacy risk. Blind Carbon Copy is a perfect way to send to everyone while still protecting their email addresses. What is blind carbon copy and why is it important? Blind carbon copy, also referred to as Bcc, is a way of sending an email to multiple people without them knowing who else is receiving the message. It is especially useful when sending bulk email messages because it would not reveal all the other recipients and would prevent the dreaded mis- take of a recipient replying to all. If the Bcc field is not available when creating a new message, it can be enabled by clicking the “Options” tab and then the “Bcc” button within the “Show Fields” section.
