Security and Compliance for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home workers commonly use their own computers and usually work in an unsecured physical environment. This increases their vulnerability to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, thorough end-user education, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's veteran roster of IT security solutions experts can help you to design, implement and maintain an effective security solution that protects critical information assets in environments that include at-home workers.
Firewalls enable you to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, suppliers, customers, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to assign and manage different permissions to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become more sophisticated. Progent supports both new and legacy firewall devices from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall configuration services, refer to firewall integration and support services.
Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various devices utilized by telecommuters and either block or spot and respond to modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is installed on each secured endpoint device, watching all activity and using advanced behavioral threat analysis from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When an attack is spotted, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the targeted device from the corporate network to quarantine the threat. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo authentication Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this second form of ID validation such as a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.

Security Audits can assess the exposure of your network to all classes of external and local security threats for an environment that includes an at-home workforce.
