If you're a journalist looking for help to cover security threats and other issues in this year's election cycle, The Journalist Resource is offering a free webinar, "Election Security: Threats and Mitigations," on Tuesday, Aug. 6 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., E.T. The session is open to the public. Register here.

Cait Conley, senior advisor to the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, will lead a practical briefing on known and potential threats to the 2024 elections, how election stakeholders are mitigating those threats, and advice on how journalists can prepare to report on them.

Attendees will learn:

• The landscape of threats to the 2024 U.S. elections.
• What those threats mean practically to the security or integrity of the election process.
