Cybersecurity for Telecommuters
At-home staff members commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually work in a poorly secured physical area. This multiplies their susceptibility to malware threats and requires judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned group of data security support consultants can help your business to design, implement and manage a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards critical information resources in environments that include remote workers.
Firewalls allow you to create a network environment that can be securely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile employees, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to scale your network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent supports both current and legacy security devices from all major manufacturers like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the disparate computers used by remote workers and either reject or spot and respond to the latest cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is put on every protected endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the infected device from the corporate network to quarantine the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is autonomous, endpoints remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. For more information about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, go to remote endpoint monitoring for teleworkers.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured application and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are on a device that only you possess and that uses a different network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used as this second form of authentication such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register several validation devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication services for remote workers.
