Cybersecurity Risks in a Pandemic: What you need to know

The COVID-19 pandemic has alerted many organizations to gaps in their information security infrastructure heretofore unrealized. Most of these deficiencies have been revealed as a direct outcome of the shift from a workforce-in-place physical environment centered around a fixed and determinable worksite location to a distributed, unstructured environment where most employees and individuals are working remotely. At CyberSecOp, we can help your organization address these, as well as other concerns related not only to the current operating environment but also pertaining to any and all operating challenges you may face as part of your ongoing operations. The lack of a centralized workspace raises a multiplicity of information security concerns, including but not limited to the following: 1. Does the company have an established Work-From-Home (WFH) information security policy, and if not, how is remote worker security managed? 2. Are employees adequately trained to work remotely, and do they have the appropriate tools at their disposal to ensure the preservation of the security environment? 3. How does the organization manage mobile device and laptop security, including encryption? 4.
