Teleworking Basics 101 

1. Do not automatically forward emails to your personal email. We are still required to adhere to our security controls and processes. We are not allowed to send un-cleared information into the public domain (to include your privately managed and maintained IT). This behavior constitutes an Insider Attack. 

2. If you are having trouble with your IT equipment or services and cannot access the network for assistance, the CGFIXIT phone number is 1-855-CGFIXIT (855-243-4948), select MVD/VPN options 1 - 3 - 1.
