Bob Lord, Democratic National Committee
Over the past year, I have had the honor of applying some of my experiences securing large enterprises to a new domain: a major political party. Along the way, I dealt with phishing attacks (including one you have already read about), helped roll out best practices to a decentralized party ecosystem, and encountered disinformation campaigns. In this talk, I’ll present my findings, many of which apply to any small or medium-sized business, as well as a number of suggestions for people building tech products.
