Valimail Offers Anti-Fraud Email Service Free To Election Campaigns

Email security provider Valimail is offering its anti-fraud service free of charge to political campaigns during this year’s mid-term election.

The service is available to any U.S. election campaign, state boards of elections and voting system vendors. This includes any Democratic or Republican campaign for Congress, the Senate and state offices, including governorships.

The Valimail Enforce service will be free through the November 2018 midterm elections for any U.S. campaign for congressional, Senate, gubernatorial, or statewide office, provided that the candidate is the designated Republican or Democratic nominee. 

It is also available to state Boards of Elections, vendors and the Democratic and Republican National Committees.

The free service will be provided through 2018 and for the 2020 Presidential campaign.  

"Bad actors are trying to disrupt our elections and sow chaos in our democracy,” states Alexander García-Tobar, CEO and co-founder of Valimail. “They are targeting email because it is one of the weakest points in digital communications."

He adds: "The upshot is that the public can't trust whether an email comes from a legitimate campaign or some Russian hacker. Worse, these fake emails are a major tool for hackers to compromise campaigns' digital networks, voter databases, and even election commissions around the country."
