In the digital world, cyber attacks can happen from anywhere: Vishal Salvi

The episode, which is the first of a new series of podcasts on cybersecurity, looks at how and why hackers are targeting elections globally, including recent events in India, and discusses the sophisticated methods used to manipulate election outcomes and extract valuable information.

Salvi outlines two primary areas of concern in election-related cybersecurity.

First, the manipulation of narratives through social media and other digital platforms, which can significantly influence election outcomes. “The manipulation and the method that threat actors use can only be countered by solutions provided by cybersecurity,” says Salvi.
