In this short study, we attempt to draw a parallel between a comprehensive cybersecurity approach to detecting and mitigating cyber threats as implemented by many modern enterprises, and the public officials’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal was to adjust the current policies so that they become sustainable over a longer period. We identified potential improvements in our society’s response to the pandemic by drawing inspiration from the cybersecurity domain. We performed this mental exercise in the context of the Czech Republic, and the below recommendations need to be interpreted in that context: Routine periodical testing of a targeted subset of the population, which requires10x increase in testing capacity. Implement Segregation Policies based on Adaptive Segmentation. Deploy High-precision Smart Quarantine Tools in Controlled Environments Relax the Constraints Applied on General Public, enabled due to the smart targeted policies. Written by Jaroslav Gergic wi
