The CIO Council is publicizing a roundup of cybersecurity best practices for remote working from a variety of governmental sources including the National Institute for Standards and Technology, the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Security Agency.

“Millions of federal workers are now working from their homes because of the Coronavirus pandemic. This expansive telecommuting activity has increased the potential of sensitive government projects and information being exposed to unauthorized individuals,” says a posting on cio.gov.

Topics include unusual or suspicious activity on a device being used for telework; use of hardware, storage, connections and video conferencing tools; standards for connecting to private agency networks and cloud environments; preventing eavesdropping and protecting privacy in video meetings; restrictions on using personal devices for personal purposes and on using official devices for personal purposes; and more.
