But more federal employees teleworking will likely increase cybersecurity risks for the government, experts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll see employees not connecting to VPN, we\u2019ll see employees doing email just from their phone versus doing it on their laptop with secure VPN. We\u2019ll see employees downloading applications and tools to be able to make their lives as easy as it once was,\u201d said James Yeager, vice president of public sector and health care at CrowdStrike, a threat intelligence company. \u201cAnd [that] allows some of the security threat vectors to start to creep into these critical business functions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, agencies had already prepared for a massive shift to working from home following a March 3 memo from OPM directing agencies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2020\/03\/04\/telework-becomes-a-priority-for-federal-coronavirus-planning\/\" target=_blank>to prioritize telework<\/a> in their operations plans. Several cabinet departments and agencies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/2020\/03\/10\/agencies-prep-for-mass-telework-as-coronavirus-looms\/\" target=_blank>told Federal Times earlier in the week<\/a> that they planned or had completed stress tests on their network to gauge if they were prepared for such an event. Even if agency networks are prepared, there are still big cybersecurity risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a March 12 memo, the Office of Management and Budget <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/hr\/2020\/03\/13\/white-house-encourages-agencies-to-send-at-risk-feds-home\/\" target=_blank>encouraged federal agencies to \u201cmaximize telework flexibilities\u201d<\/a> to vulnerable populations, a move that will likely greatly increase the stress on federal networks and pushes the government one step closer to a broader telework mandate. That would mean employees could be working from anywhere, at home or a local coffee shop, and as a result agencies need to have strong cybersecurity measures in place, several experts told Fifth Domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt really should be advised the two-factor authentication is empowered and enabled, that VPN connectivity is not optional or preferred, it\u2019s required,&#8221; Yeager said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another uncertainty is just how long federal employees would be encouraged \u2014 or required \u2014 to telework. In the Washington, D.C., area, several school districts canceled classes for weeks, increasing the likelihood of mass telework as parents need to care for their kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If employees are asked to remain at home long-term, agencies need to establish a way to handle remote security patches or to fix bugs in a device\u2019s software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of times you\u2019d wait for them to come back to the corporate network to push the security patches just because that\u2019s where you had the most bandwidth,\u201d said Dan Fallon, senior director for systems engineers at Nutanix, an enterprise IT company. \u201cNow they may have extended workers outside of the corporate network where they got to do remote patching, which they may not have really been set up for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Susceptibility to spearphishing emails also continues to be a top issue. Experts said that employees were more susceptible to those types of attacks at home because they are likely to browse the internet while teleworking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent days, threat intelligence companies have warned of coronavirus-related phishing attempts. Several reports also mentioned a website that claimed to track coronavirus cases and in the process installed malware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To defend against these types of threats, often associated with personal internet browsing, Fallon said agencies needed to separate the work environment from the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat ensures that if they\u2019re on Facebook and they click the wrong link, whatever happens is on their home desktop and the virtual session is in the cloud completely separate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>What work remains?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greg Touhill, the first federal chief information security officer, told Fifth Domain it was \u201ccritically important\u201d that agency leaders determine what information and data employees can access remotely, and from what types of devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMost government entities don\u2019t have the money to send everybody home with a laptop, let alone one that equipped with a CAC or a PIV,\u201d said Touhill, now president of AppGate. \u201cIdentifying an architecture that\u2019s going to accommodate BYOD [bring your own device] &#8230; that\u2019s going to be critically important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sean Frazier, advisory CISO for federal at Cisco\u2019s Duo Security, reiterated Touhill\u2019s point, adding that if user laptops can\u2019t accommodate government secure access cards, then agencies have to find a log-in mechanism that \u201cis protected in the same fashion or at the same level as if they were sitting at their desk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another looming possibility is that not all federal employees are allowed to telework and in the weeks ahead, the government could tell those employees to work from home without first teaching them how to do it securely. Simon Szykman, who served as the Department of Commerce\u2019s CIO from 2010 to 2014, told Fifth Domain that agencies need to give non-telework employees security awareness guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s an issue of informing people about the difference between what they\u2019re use to&#8221; and teleworking,&#8221; said Szykman, now managing director and chief technology officer of Attain\u2019s federal services division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/congress\/2020\/03\/12\/what-the-dhs-cyber-agency-is-doing-to-tackle-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\">agency tasked<\/a> with protecting federal networks, issued an enterprise VPN security guidance <a href=\"https:\/\/www.us-cert.gov\/ncas\/alerts\/aa20-073a\" target=\"_blank\">in a March 13 alert<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny time you got outside the enterprise firewall there\u2019s a little higher risk,&#8221; Fallon said. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of employees outside of the core office which means they\u2019re outside the security posture both from a physical standpoint and from an IT-virtual standpoint.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As federal
