Presidential candidates Andrew Yang and Joe Biden aren’t prepared in terms of online safety, a website security company’s analysis shows.
The company, SiteLock, looked at the online practices of a dozen Democratic and Republican candidates in the 2020 presidential race—including President Donald Trump—and found that Yang and Biden trail their competitors when it comes to their stances on cybersecurity and their campaign’s practices to deter malicious online attacks.
The results, SiteLock Chief Innovation Officer Neill Feather said, were reminiscent of what the company sees when working with small businesses, which are its primary clients: More than half the candidates are using out-of-date cybersecurity software.
“What we found was that no one is performing perfectly, and I think that’s something that everybody can learn, from an overall cybersecurity perspective,” Feather said. “There is never a perfect solution. You’re really working toward getting better and being as proactive as you can.”
