Lessons, or reminders, of important information security operations concepts which have been pointed out by the CoVID-19 pandemic crisis. Using the SARS- CoV-2/CoVID-19 pandemic as a giant case study, and structured by the domains of information security, this looks at security aspects of the crisis, pointing out specific security fundamentals where social, medical, or business response to the crisis failed, or needed to make specific use of those concepts. For the most part, these lessons are simply reminders of factors that get neglected during times of non-crisis, and particularly point out the importance of advance planning and resilience in systems and business.
