A Letter to Political Leaders

— James Spitler, Founder & CEO, Aktoh Cyber

Three U.S. presidential campaigns were compromised in 2024. The Trump campaign had internal communications stolen and leaked. The Harris and Vance campaigns were infiltrated by Iranian actors seeking intelligence on policy positions. Chinese actors simultaneously targeted congressional staff. Political campaigns are uniquely vulnerable: they are built fast, staffed with high-turnover volunteers, operate under intense time pressure, and are gone the moment the election ends — creating an environment where security is almost always a second-order concern until the breach happens. Aktoh deploys autonomous AI defense for campaigns, PACs, and political organizations — protecting the communications and strategic data that foreign adversaries are actively seeking.

Campaign Communication Protection

Sleight Platform

Deception technology protecting campaign strategy documents, donor communications, and internal messaging — catching nation-state actors before they reach real campaign intelligence.

Spear Phishing Defense

Targeted Attack Prevention

Detect and block the highly targeted spear phishing campaigns that Iranian, Chinese, and Russian actors use to compromise campaign staff credentials.

24/7 Autonomous Threat Detection

Horsemen Platform

Continuous behavioral monitoring that doesn't require a security team — critical for campaigns and political organizations that cannot staff a full-time SOC.

Donor & Supporter Data Protection

FEC Compliance Security

Protect donor databases, contribution records, and supporter personal information from the data theft operations that precede opposition research leaks.

Staff Credential & Access Security

High-Turnover Environment Defense

Monitor and secure access across high-turnover campaign environments — detecting credential misuse from departed staff and unauthorized access to campaign systems.

Election Infrastructure Protection

Democratic Process Security

Protect the voting systems, registration databases, and reporting infrastructure that form the foundation of democratic elections from foreign interference and domestic manipulation.
