Security News > 2020 > April > Secure Remote Working During COVID-19 — Checklist for CISOs

Here we have a new "CISO Checklist for Secure Remote Working" that has been built to assist CISOs in navigating through this noise, providing them with a concise and high-level list of the absolute essentials needed to ensure their organization is well protected in these challenging times.

An organization with a high maturity level that routinely monitors its user's behavior to detect anomalies must now alter its policies to adjust to the mass remote workload. On the other hand, organizations with lesser maturity that could contain the risk of not placing advanced protection on their email systems and endpoints now realize that they have a critical security gap that must be addressed.

The CISO Checklist for Secure Remote Working breaks down the Coronavirus derived changes in reality and maps them to concrete check-boxes.

3rd Party Service Providers - whether your organization performs all its security tasks in-house or not, it is definitely a time to consider outsourcing some of the more skill-dependent mission to a domain expert MSSP - or at least make sure that all IR and security management operations are adequately covered.

Management Visibility - The organization's executives must have full visibility both into the CISOs efforts as well as to the actual security posture - is there an increase in attacks, do security teams and products operate as expected, has there been a breach and if so how was it managed and contained, etc.
