The French government was able to guard its 2017 elections against foreign interference. Some of the reason is likely because the country and its people have improved their understanding of the problems, and their defenses against it, over the past couple of decades. Dating back to 2016 , the government's Kremlin has worked together to minimise cyber threats when it comes to elections. For instance, computer administrators have been given training to swiftly spot and react to unauthorised activity, while software has been vetted for potential flaws.
