Google Expands Security Efforts Ahead of 2022 Elections

On Tuesday, Google announced that it is expanding its election security programs before the 2022 elections.

Mark Risher, Google’s Director of Product Management, Identity and User Security, wrote on the company’s blog that it will increase its role in providing security support for next year’s elections. This builds on similar efforts from last year, when the company worked with the Defending Digitals Campaign in order to provide two-factor authentication to federal campaigns. It plans to include eligible state campaigns this time, as well.
