Businesses and educational institutions are closed, many employees are forced to work from their homes, supply chains have been disturbed, people are being required to self-isolate, and most travel, in-person meetings, and conventions have been banned. These disruptions will continue for months, and the resulting economic, business, and social impact will last for years.  This talk highlights the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) as an operational model for managing the COVID-19 disruption to information technology (IT) services. The speaker has recently completed a two-year project to publish an IEEE IT Professional special issue on Communications Recovery and Resilience, a review of the eight articles will be highlighted in this talk.
