Remote work is changing the way federal agencies think about cybersecurity. Now federal agencies are shuffling their cyber priorities to address new challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the biggest challenges for cybersecurity professionals in 2020 is information warfare and establishing a baseline of trust at their organizations.
Securing data in a remote environment means constantly verifying and re-verifying users, and distrusting all connections on a network until they're verified.
To enable a streamlined, safe and secure shift to the cloud, federal IT leaders need to do three things: maintain network visibility, implement a strong credentialed access policy, and build out a human-centered design approach to the cloud.
As federal agencies shift data and IT operations to the cloud, some are exploring new technologies like artificial intelligence and robotic process automation to track and control cloud spending.
For many federal agencies, teleworking presents a unique cybersecurity challenge: suddenly thousands of employees are using home Wi-Fi networks and personal devices to work, and sometimes view classified information, potentially opening up their department’s network up to cyber criminals and nation-state actors.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have shut down swaths of the economy, but law enforcement agencies are obligated to keep operating at full capacity. When those agencies shifted to telework in March, they had to make a series of quick, careful decisions about their IT to make sure they had the data they needed, when they needed it.
