Campaigns, committees and parties

VIRGINIA STATE eligibility

We are excited to share that the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Office of the Attorney General has granted DDC an Advisory Opinion that allows us to provide free or reduced-priced cybersecurity products to state campaigns in Virginia, among the first states in the country to approve for us 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 Virginia U.S. House and Senate races.

We are ready to help eligible Virginia 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
