Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
At-home workers typically use their own computers and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This increases their vulnerability to cyber attacks and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user training, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security solutions experts can assist your business to design, implement and manage a compliant security solution that protects critical IT resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls allow companies to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by an at-home workforce, mobile users, vendors, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances permit you to configure and manage different access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks grow more sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older firewall devices from all leading manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it possible to track the disparate computers used by telecommuters and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight agent is installed on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and using advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to detect zero-day threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the impacted endpoint device from the network to quarantine the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To find out more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for at-home workers.
Progent's Duo MFA Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports one-tap identity verification 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 verify your identity via a device that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be utilized as this added form of authentication including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline telephone, etc. You may register several validation devices.
