With the Corona Virus spreading, now is a good time to check your Pandemic Policy. Pandemic Policies help you plan for a large part of your workforce being unable to work due to illness.
In this episode I’ll cover some key points from a Pandemic Policy Template available from SANS. If you are considered critical infrastructure by the Federal Government, you might start here: dhs.gov.
Things you should be thinking about are IT infrastructure needs such as:
- Bandwidth
- VPN licensing
- Remote Desktop
- Virtual Meeting tools
- Extra laptops
- MFA Tokens
Ideally, you already have your Pandemic Policy in place and are including it in your table top exercises.
