Cybersecurity for Teleworkers
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically use their personal computing devices and usually operate in a poorly secured physical space. This situation multiplies their susceptibility to cyber threats and calls for judicious deployment of corporate firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote monitoring, extensive end-user education, and the creation of policies based on leading practices. Progent's seasoned team of IT security support experts can assist you to plan, deploy and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information assets in networks that incorporate at-home workers.

Firewalls allow you to build a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by at-home workers, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices permit you to assign and control appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to expand your network and adjust your cybersecurity posture as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent supports both new and older firewall devices from all major vendors including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by remote workers and either block or identify and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight software agent is put on each secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning and full execution context from SentinelOne to detect new attacks at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the impacted endpoint from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoints remain protected even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint security monitoring for an at-home workforce.

Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to defend against password theft through the use of two-factor authentication. Duo supports single-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other out-of-band devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you sign into a protected application and give your password you are asked to confirm who you are on a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a different network channel. A broad range of out-of-band devices can be used for this second form of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several validation devices.
