How High Risk Users Feel About Cyber Threats

In 2022, Google and YouGov conducted a survey of high risk users across ten markets, and these are the results from the US people in the political sector and journalists. Google shared the data with Defending Digital Campaigns, since protecting campaigns and tech users in the political sector is a shared goal.

The purpose of the survey was:

“To understand how those working in these professions feel about the cyber threats posed to them, how these threats have evolved, and what they are doing to protect themselves.”
