Cybersecurity for At-Home Workers
Work-from-Home (WFH) employees commonly utilize their personal computers and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for judicious deployment of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, extensive user education, and the development of policies based on best practices. Progent's seasoned group of cybersecurity support consultants can assist your business to design, configure and maintain a compliant cybersecurity solution that guards vital information assets in networks that include remote workers.
Firewalls enable you to create a network that can be safely accessed by on-premises users as well as by teleworkers, mobile workers, vendors, clients, and other stakeholders. Modern firewall devices permit you to configure and manage different permissions to different classes of users and to expand your network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older security appliances from all leading vendors like Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, and Fortinet.

Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the various devices utilized by teleworkers and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With Progent's ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a small-footprint software agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats before they can spread. When a cyberattack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the infected endpoint device from the network to contain the malware. Because the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoints stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. To learn more about ProSight Active Security Monitoring, see remote endpoint monitoring for an at-home workforce.
Progent's Duo MFA Managed Services utilize Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against stolen passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity verification on iOS, Google Android, and other out-of-band devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to verify who you are via a unit that only you possess and that is accessed using a separate network channel. A wide selection of devices can be utilized for this second means of authentication such as a smartphone or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may designate several validation devices.
