Unprecedented demand just over the last weekend or so,\u201d Essye Miller, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She explained that, as a result of the increased demand on the network, they are asking that streaming services such as Pandora be limited if they are not mission essential. She also noted that access to YouTube will be blocked, effective tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisa Hershman, the Pentagon\u2019s chief management officer, said that the department is stress-testing telework opportunities. Given that, Miller noted a 240 percent increase in the help-desk requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials also explained that increased telework provides a larger cyberattack surface for adversaries to exploit, though, officials noted, Secret and Top Secret information is not available in a telework environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re already taking advantage of the situation and the environment that we have on hand. With that, we\u2019re developing best practices for you to use as you move from working in the office into a telework environment,\u201d Miller said, without offering any additional information. \u201cIf you walk away from nothing else, it\u2019s please, please, please, the same practices that you use in an office environment need to convey to wherever you\u2019re teleworking from \u2026 We are creating a do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for healthy, clean hygiene on the network that we will make sure we give to WHS to distribute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Washington Headquarters Service issued guidance for employees on cyber hygiene and best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[S]ome of the inherent security measures that we take for granted while working directly within a DoD network may not be fully articulated while working remotely at home. For this reason, DoD personnel need to be especially alert and attentive to cyberattacks, malware, phishing expeditions, network security protocols, encryptions requirements, et al, which may threaten government information stored on telework devices and transmitted across external networks,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whs.mil\/Coronavirus\/\" target=_blank>website<\/a> states. \u201cEmployees who telework from home need to keep government property and information safe, secure, and separated from their personal property and information. Some helpful tips to keeping your home WI-FI, computers and mobile devices protected can be found in a \u2018Protect Yourself\u2019 booklet published by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With an increased number of DoD employees teleworking, the network is being heavily taxed, a top cybersecurity official
