Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) staff members typically use their personal computing devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can help your business to plan, configure and manage a compliant security solution that protects vital information resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable you to create a network environment that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall appliances allow you to assign and control different permissions to various classes of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers utilized by teleworkers and either block or identify and respond to modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on each protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to detect zero-day attacks on arrival. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring immediately isolates the impacted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo authentication Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using 2FA, whenever you sign into a secured application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity on a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this second means of authentication including an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register several validation devices.

Security Audits can evaluate the vulnerability of your information system to all types of external and local security attacks for an environment that includes telecommuters. Progent can run online, automated security inventory software for rapidly and economically detecting a broad range of security gaps that can be surfaced via the Internet. Progent's security audit experts, which can be provided by network security professionals with advanced credentials such as CISA, CISSP, and GIAC, can assist your company to evaluate your operations and governance policies and assess your WAN infrastructure to allow you to implement the highest level of protection for your telecommuters.
