Unisyn Sets High Standard for Future Election System Testing
San Diego, CA – March 29, 2019 – Unisyn Voting Solutions, Inc. (Unisyn) is the first voting system manufacturer to complete the rigorous Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity Product Assessment testing for its OpenElect® suite of products.
DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Christopher Krebs noted in a letter to Unisyn that “I believe that Unisyn’s partnership during the evaluation process stemmed from the security-conscious culture that your leadership and staff demonstrated while working with our evaluation team.”
In July of 2018, Unisyn became the first DHS election industry partner to undergo this testing. During the National Cyber Assessments and Technical Services (NCATS) Product Cybersecurity Assessment, a cybersecurity research team from Idaho National Labs (INL) performed a cybersecurity assessment of the Unisyn election system that was completed on October 31, 2018. The purpose of the assessment was to understand the functionality of the system in relation to the current cybersecurity risk assessments and make recommendations to address these items in the interest of protecting the critical infrastructure controlled by Unisyn election systems from a cyber or physical attack. The test protocol was based on a set of assessment targets developed in conjunction with Unisyn and DHS program personnel.
