Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
At-home staff members typically utilize their personal devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical environment. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber threats and requires judicious configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to plan, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital information assets in networks that incorporate an at-home workforce.

Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely accessed by on-premises users and by teleworkers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to configure and control appropriate access rights to various groups of users and to expand your network and modify your security as your business evolves and as network attacks become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both current and older security devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by teleworkers and either reject or spot and respond to modern threats such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on every secured endpoint, monitoring all activity and using state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new attacks before they can spread. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM immediately isolates the infected endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Since the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, dealer, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, refer to remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against stolen passwords by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, when you log into a secured application and enter your password you are asked to confirm your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a separate network channel. A broad selection of out-of-band devices can be used for this added means of ID validation such as an iPhone or Android or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate multiple verification devices. To learn more about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, see Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for an at-home workforce.

Security Audits can evaluate the exposure of your network to all classes of outside and local security attacks for a network that includes at-home workers.
