Cybersecurity Lessons from the Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging our resilience on a national scale and illustrates the challenges with building and maintaining resilience in a modern, connected world. The lessons the country is learning from the ongoing pandemic are not perfectly analogous to a significant cyberattack, but they offer many illuminating parallels. As a result, the pandemic highlights the importance of many of the Commission’s recommendations. The Commission’s “Pandemic Annex” collects observations from the pandemic as they relate to the security of cyberspace, in terms of both the unique cybersecurity challenges it creates and what it can teach the United States about how to prepare for a major cyber disruption. It also offers a few new recommendations that were created in light of gaps identified as a result of the pandemic.
The white paper highlights over thirty of the Commission’s original recommendations that were published in March 2020.
