Director Laura Rosenberger joined Microsoft President Brad Smith and President of the Queen’s Privy Council for Canada Dominic LeBlanc to announce that the Government of Canada will work alongside ASD and Microsoft to co-lead the Community for Countering Election Interference as part of the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace.
In November 2019, ASD partnered with Microsoft to launch the Community for Countering Election Interference, a multi-stakeholder forum dedicated both to raising global awareness of the threat cyberattacks pose to elections and other democratic institutions and to providing strategies for defending against this threat. This Community emerged out of the Government of France’s Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace initiative and upholds its third principle to “cooperate in order to prevent interference in electoral processes.” We are now joined by the Government of Canada, which has become the Community’s public sector co-champion.
