Illinois - State Board of Elections
Program Title
Cyber Navigator Program
Program Summary
The Illinois State Board of Elections built the Cyber Navigator Program (CNP) in response to the attack against U.S. election infrastructure during the 2016 elections. The innovative program splits the state up into geographic zones and places two Navigators in each zone. Cyber Navigators have a technical background, often in network infrastructure or security, and visit the individual election authorities in their zones. The CNP trains end users in election authority offices to guard against phishing, malware, and other security breaches.
