Security for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home staff members commonly utilize their personal devices and often operate in an unsecured physical area. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, intensive user training, and the creation of policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran roster of data security solutions experts can assist you to plan, deploy and maintain a compliant security solution that guards critical information assets in environments that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage different access rights to different classes of users and to scale your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and legacy security appliances from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, refer to firewall support expertise.
Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate devices utilized by telecommuters and either reject or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately disconnects the impacted endpoint device from the corporate network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints stay secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you log into a protected online account and give your password you are requested to confirm who you are on a device that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. For details about ProSight Duo two-factor identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your information system to all types of outside and local security attacks for an environment that includes at-home workers. Progent can deploy online, automated cybersecurity inventory scanning for rapidly and affordably detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be surfaced via the Internet. Progent's security assessment experts, which can be managed by network security professionals with top certifications such as CISA, ISSAP, and GIAC, can help your company to audit your operations and policies and review your IT infrastructure to allow you to implement top-level security for your teleworkers.
