Washington – Senior officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) met today with members of the Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) for the Election Infrastructure Subsector and conducted a classified briefing on the current cyber threat landscape for the election community. The SCC was chartered in February 2018 to provide a framework for the federal government’s engagement with private sector members of the election community, including equipment vendors, e-poll book providers, and other election service providers. Through the SCC, DHS and member organizations have built a trusted public-private partnership to share threat information, exchange best practices, and collaborate on exercises and incident planning.
