Elastic is the first endpoint security solution
available through this program
Elastic N.V. (NYSE: ESTC) ("Elastic"), the company behind
Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack, is excited to announce that it
will offer free monitored Elastic Endpoint Security to 2020
presidential and congressional campaigns in partnership with
Defending Digital Campaigns.
Elastic has partnered with Defending Digital Campaigns (DDC), a
non-partisan organization that provides low- and no-cost security
products and services to federal campaigns to help defend them from
cyberattacks and election interference. Elastic is proud to deliver
a monitored Elastic Endpoint Security solution, supported by
members of the Elastic Security team.
“Campaigns have faced two significant barriers as they seek to
better secure themselves from cyber threats: the high cost of
quality cybersecurity products and the experience to organize an
effective security strategy. The DDC helps them quickly overcome
both, removing cost and expertise as barriers to security and
allowing campaign staff to focus on what they do best,” said Devon
Kerr, Intelligence & Analytics Team Lead, Elastic Security.
The DDC enables security vendors to provide products and
services directly to campaigns, in addition to facilitating
information sharing. The US Federal Election Commission uniquely
allows the DDC to help campaigns receive these capabilities due to
their somber non-partisan commitment.
"Increasing the cybersecurity defenses of political campaigns is
one the most critical elements of protecting our democracy.
Defending Digital Campaigns, with a mission to make campaigns more
cybersecure, is proud to partner with Elastic Security on making
endpoint protection, a core cybersecurity service, widely available
to campaigns," said Michael Kaiser, President and CEO, Defending
Digital Campaigns.
The Elastic Security team aren’t strangers to the challenge of
securing presidential campaigns, and have spent the past year
assisting some candidates in the early stages of the 2020 US
election. Elastic’s partnership with DDC enables Elastic Security
to achieve an even greater scale and impact, applying security
expertise and technology to assist candidates running for the US
Senate, House of Representatives, and the office of the US
President.
