Global Security Forum

We're all encountering new challenges as we adjust to working from home, conscientiously observe social distancing regulations, and embrace other practices that were completely foreign as recently as a couple months ago. This of course includes your IBM Security Community Managers, and I'll be the first to admit it's not always been a smooth transition.

I am very fortunate that my role helping facilitate this Community does not require a specific physical location, but finding space to work in a small apartment also occupied by a (furloughed) husband, a dog and a cat did take both flexibility and creativity – as well as an upgrade of our internet speed and some reconfigurations to make sure our home network is secure (see Jose Bravo's extremely helpful webinar recording on this last topic).

In this thread we encourage all our Community members to share the challenges you've faced these last few weeks (security related or not!) and, ideally, how you've worked to overcome them. One thing I can tell you is that giving up and just moving the dog's bed into my little office was the best choice I've made. Instead of scratching at the door all day long, now he (mostly) lies quietly under my desk as I work.

I have been working from home for 12 years.   My routine each morning is to shower and dress as if I am going to an actual company office...however here is issue #1
At 5 or 6 am I may realize I forgot to respond to or send an email the previous day so I go into my home office and complete the task.  When I actually look up from my computer it is 1:00 pm and I am still in my pajamas!

Issue #2:

When you work from home, you get to work early and leave late!!
