While hindsight may be 20/20, no one could have envisioned the way the year 2020 would unfold.  There is no playbook and we are learning as we go.  Is your work from home environment secure?  Do you and your company have the right privacy practices in place?  Our 2020 vision is clouded by the multitude of crises we face in our daily lives.  Individuals, businesses, the country and the world are all impacted by the pandemic.  The number of people engaged in remote, online activity across the globe has blurred the once clearer delineation of professional and personal lives.  Myriad security issues around data privacy and protection arise with the use of personal computers in a corporate environment.  Public and private institutions are struggling to mitigate risk, and security and privacy are top priorities. What protocols, controls and processes are in place and evolving as a result of our new reality throughout the US and the world to protect and maintain the integrity of corporate data and business practices?
