Campaigns, committees and parties


Georgia STATE eligibility

We are excited to share that the Georgia State Ethics Commission has granted DDC an Advisory Opinion that allows us to provide free or reduced-priced cybersecurity products to state campaigns to serve down-ballot. The contributions of cybersecurity products to a campaign are free of any financial reporting. DDC has been helping federal campaigns under an Advisory Opinion from the FEC since 2019, including several Georgia U.S. House and Senate races.

We are ready to help eligible Georgia campaigns with free:

  • Security keys to implement the strongest account protections against phishing and compromises.

  • Website protection from adversaries' efforts to take down sites or change content.

  • Stronger protection on social media to protect accounts from being hacked
