For weeks, most of the federal civilian workforce and a large percentage of Department of Defense employees have been teleworking. Information Technology offices across government have been logging long – often intense – hours in order to enable mission-critical work, some of it directly tied to COVID-19 response efforts. Agencies have purchased hundreds-of-thousands of new laptops, managed an exponential rise in help-desk requests, and learned entirely new methods of digital communication during the pandemic.

This hour-long program will bring together thought leaders from the public and private sectors for a look at challenges to and best practices for a key issue connecting all those efforts – cybersecurity.
