With many federal employees now teleworking, the importance of working from home securely and safely is high. In response to both new and old cybersecurity risks, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a guide to help individuals and organizations safely telework for the long-term.

As millions of federal workers conduct their business remotely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council has released their views on best practices for working remotely. The guidance acknowledges that the expansion of telecommuting activities has increased the potential for sensitive government projects and information to be exposed to unauthorized individuals.
