5 cybersecurity issues at stake in next week’s US election

As the United States gears up for a major election, cybersecurity is one of the big topics on everyone’s minds. No matter who wins the presidency—whether it’s Kamala Harris for the Democrats or Donald Trump for the Republicans—there’re some important cybersecurity issues to consider.

The two candidates have different plans for the country, but when it comes to cybersecurity, they might not be as far apart as people think. Both parties understand that keeping the country’s digital information safe is super important. No matter who wins, they will have to deal with sneaky online attacks from other countries like Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.

These nations are experts at causing trouble online, from stealing secrets to trying to mess with elections. Experts think that if Vice President Harris wins, she would probably follow similar cybersecurity rules that have been used before. But, people aren’t quite sure what Trump would do, especially since he’s seemed pretty friendly with leaders like Russia’s Putin.

Another hot topic? Fake news! A Trump administration might not be as tough on Russia’s fake news campaigns as a Harris administration. The way each candidate would handle online lies from countries like Russia could be really different.

What about the rules to keep us safe online? A big court decision recently made it harder for agencies to use their own judgment to enforce cybersecurity rules. If Harris wins, she might try to put new rules in place to keep us safe online, while Trump might not be as eager to change things.

Also, there’s a lot of chatter about what will happen to CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Some folks, including from Trump’s own circle, have suggested breaking it up, especially since not everyone’s thrilled with how it’s been doing.

Finally, there’s the idea of creating an independent U.S. Cyber Force, similar to the Army or Navy, but just for fighting cyber battles. Some believe that a Trump win might push this idea forward faster.

With all these issues at stake, it’s clear that the election’s outcome could shape the nation’s cybersecurity path for years to come. Recognizing the importance of being prepared and informed on these matters is crucial.
