Security for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their personal devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough user training, and the creation of policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to design, deploy and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that protects critical information resources in environments that incorporate at-home workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by telecommuters, mobile workers, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall devices allow you to configure and control appropriate permissions to different groups of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by remote workers and either block or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks on arrival. When an attack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly disconnects the targeted endpoint from the network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator.

Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity confirmation with Apple iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to verify your identity via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A broad range of devices can be utilized for this second means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several validation devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity validation services, see Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for telecommuters.
