Chapter The roundtable kicked off Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a discussion on how to prevent cyberattacks and resources available for election officials developing incident response plans.
Users can assess the security readiness of their election infrastructure using this program. CISA Election Security Questionnaire — CISA created the following questionnaire to assist state, local, tribal, and territorial SLTT governments with implementing cybersecurity best practices to strengthen the security of their election infrastructure. Securing non-voting election technology top MITRE Recommended Security Controls for Voter Registration — This report is directed at technical members of state and local governments that maintain such systems.
It recommends actionable security controls that can be applied to protect these systems. EAC Checklist for securing voter registration data — This list is intended to provide election officials information on best practices to protect their voter registration data.
State and local election officials have already implemented many of these items. Election officials may use it to provide assurance to members of the public who may question the security measures that have been implemented in their State. Any database containing personal information should be protected with strategic layers of physical and technological security.
Election officials may use this list as a baseline to assess the current security protocol surrounding the voter registration database as well as a reference to guide the public on what has already been implemented to protect their voter registration data and the integrity of their vote. EAC Checklist for securing election night reporting systems — EAC developed a list of mitigations to assist in defending election night reporting systems. Best Practices for Securing Non-Voting Systems — The goal of this document is to provide community-driven, comprehensive security best practices and implementation guidance for non-voting election technology to election officials and election technology providers.
Non-voting election technology refers to internet-connected products and services that handle sensitive ballot, voter, and election results data. A Procurement Guide for Better Election Cybersecurity — Seven 7 key areas are examined that election officials and policymakers may consider in order to achieve better vendor cybersecurity.
They include: 1. Source Code Disclosure 2. Robust Security Incident Reporting 3. Regular Penetration Testing 6. Risk-Limiting Audit Support,. Foreign Nexus Disclosure. CIS Security for Election Technology Procurements — This guide includes best practices that election offices can use for planning, developing, and executing procurements. Each best practice has language that can be copied and pasted directly into requests for proposals RFPs , requests for information RFIs , and the like.
The best practices also include descriptions of good and bad responses, tips, and helpful references and links. In addition to the best practices, the earlier sections of this guide on the procurement process, the IT procurement lifecycle, and cybersecurity beyond procurement contain valuable information to improve your general knowledge and to be used as a reference.
EAC Considerations for Implementing Voting Systems with COTS Products — Over the course of the past several years, election jurisdictions seeking to purchase new election systems have begun a significant shift in focus away from the traditional approach of procuring predominantly proprietary election systems and toward procuring systems largely composed of commercial products. This technical paper details benefits and drawbacks of using COTS technology in elections.
This report presents initial conclusions regarding the use of these electronic technologies and suggested next steps. It describes the technologies that can be used to support the electronic dissemination of election material along with security techniques — both technical and procedural — that can protect this transfer.
The purpose of the document is to inform Election Officials about the current technologies and techniques that can be used to improve the delivery of election material for UOCAVA voters. Some of these best practices are unique to voting systems, but most are similar to, or the same as, best practices in IT and networked systems in general. For the latter, this document summarizes and points to other security-related documents published by NIST.
NIST Security Considerations for Remote Electronic UOCAVA Voting — This paper identified desirable security properties of remote electronic voting systems, threats of voting over the Internet from personally-owned devices, and current and emerging technologies that may be able to mitigate some of those threats.
EAC Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act Registration and Voting Processes — The purpose of this white paper is to provide a framework to assist federal and state policy makers, state and local election officials, the TGDC, and other stakeholders engaged in making decisions about the use of electronic technology for voting or creating standards for testing voting systems.
This fundamental qualification is the foundation of career progression and prepares motivated personnel for positions of greater responsibility. At this level, trainees are exposed to their primary functional tasks as they are performed in an IA environment. They also become familiar with other, interrelated, disciplines. At Level II, emphasis on the functional specialization declines and the individual broadens his or her experience in the processes unique to the IA community.
Broadening continues, including on-the-job rotational assignments, with the time and responsibilities in each assignment increasing. When individuals reach senior levels in the IA community, they should have completed all mandatory training and education requirements of their higher level or their equivalents. They should also have gained the mandatory experience in a variety of areas within their primary functional and IA duties. The following general requirements mat be further refined within the grade-level guidelines contained later in this document.
These general requirements are, however the minimum for the DSCA IA 'prime candidate population' to become certified at the respective level. Other relevant ISA job-related introductory course s as determined by the individual supervisor presented by another federal agency. Baccalaureate degree with a minimum of 24 undergraduate or 12 graduate semester hours in a relevant concentration area.
Quantitative and qualitative graduate coursework in topic areas relevant to position held 2. At least one formal course in leadership or management PMR may be used to fulfill this requirement. At least one advanced course in leadership or management. See the appropriate tables for specific requirements. Level III personnel, in order to maintain their certifications, must complete a specific number of continuing education hours during each 2-year period.
Agencies, which feel their target population is insufficient for developing their own agency plan, may utilize the procedures in this plan for certification of their personnel.
Ata a minimum, these plans will address:. Identification of Defense Organizations Functional Councils if applicable as described in paragraph 7. See paragraph 4. The individual's immediate supervisor must validate the information through review of personnel records or other available means.
A paper copy of the application form can be requested from:. This data will also be maintained in the DSCA certification database.
These procedures can be found in each service or agency certification implementation plan. We do believe, however, that meeting these requirements for certification at the suggested levels will help our IA workforce meet the challenges of today, and those on the horizon. Therefore, these suggested guidelines notwithstanding, all personnel are encouraged to become certified at the highest level for which they qualify. Civilian nominees for LTT allocations should be processed and selected as appropriate and determined by the Defense Organizations utilizing their current in-place processes.
Also, the nominations and budget process may vary for LIT. The organization's host program will determine appropriate follow-on assignments, if any.
The positions and exchanges listed below should be viewed as recommendations only, with each Defense Organization utilizing relevant titles and organizational exchange parity. An exchange is a temporary assignment at a location other than the employees reporting location. To qualify as a successful action, the employee must meet agreed-upon criteria. The length of this assignment may vary across defense organizations, and should be consistent with personnel standard operating procedures.
The types of exchanges that are available include:. Certification requires funding fur training and education commensurate with goals and objectives, with measurable data demonstrating effective usage of funds.
Organizations have wide latitude in determining the appropriate usage of funds and in developing the process by which they are justified and approved.
This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list, but merely to be used as a starting point for professional development Note that many of these also provide the opportunity the student to earn a Master's Degree while completing PME. Although no formal requirement exist to obtain professional certifications, individuals are encouraged to take the opportunity, as available, for personal career development.
Council members will include:. Defense Organizations are encouraged to establish a council to provide functional oversight. This council's duties should include the establishment and continuous review of long-term and short-term career development and certification goals and objectives. These guidelines assume that defense organization executives are viable candidates for membership and may be permanently assigned to the council, as determined by the MILDEP or Defense Agency.
Since the DoD non-MILDEP agencies have a wide variety of functional specialties, the individual supervisor has the authority to determine which functional courses within his agency's available training courses will qualify as "basic," "intermediate," and "advanced" courses for purposes of International Affairs certification.
Certification candidates and their supervisors need to exercise rational judgment in deciding that a particular course currently listed in this appendix is compatible with the intended requirements for the certified position. A substitution criterion requires the minimum number of training days at each certification level i. Courses listed have a minimum of 3 days duration, However, an accumulation of 1 and 2 day courses may be acceptable in fulfillment of an "IA job related requirement" provided the minimum combined total number of days in the classroom is 3.
