Cybersecurity for Remote Workers
At-home staff members typically use their personal devices and often work in an unsecured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to cyber attacks and requires careful configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, thorough end-user training, and the development of policies built on best practices. Progent's veteran team of IT security solutions experts can help you to design, deploy and manage an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT assets in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow companies to create a network environment that can be safely utilized by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and control different access rights to various classes of users and to expand your IT network and adjust your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration expertise, refer to firewall integration and support services.
Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers used by at-home workers and either reject or spot and respond to modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every protected endpoint, monitoring all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to identify zero-day attacks at inception. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly isolates the infected endpoint from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring agent is self-contained, endpoint devices stay secure even if they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint security monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With Duo 2FA, when you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a unit that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A wide selection of out-of-band devices can be utilized as this added form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can designate multiple validation devices. For more information about Duo identity validation services, visit Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
