Security for Telecommuters
Work-from-Home (WFH) workers typically utilize their own devices and often operate in a poorly secured physical space. This increases their susceptibility to malware attacks and calls for judicious configuration of firewalls, AV tools, multi-factor authentication, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the creation of security policies built on best practices. Progent's seasoned team of cybersecurity solutions consultants can help your business to plan, implement and maintain an effective cybersecurity solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that include an at-home workforce.
Firewalls enable companies to create a network that can be securely accessed by local users and by telecommuters, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall appliances allow you to assign and control appropriate access rights to different groups of users and to scale your IT network and modify your cybersecurity posture as your company evolves and as cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated. Progent works with both new and older security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet.

Online Endpoint Monitoring makes it possible to watch over the various computers used by an at-home workforce and either block or identify and mitigate modern threats like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every secured endpoint device, monitoring all activity and utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning from SentinelOne to detect new threats at inception. When an attack is discovered, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the impacted device from the corporate network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight ASM agent is self-contained, endpoint devices remain secure even when they are not connected to the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator.

Progent's Duo MFA Services incorporate Cisco's Duo technology to defend against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables single-tap identity verification with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. With 2FA, when you sign into a secured online account and give your password you are requested to verify who you are on a unit that only you have and that uses a different network channel. A wide selection of devices can be used for this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You can designate several verification devices. For details about Duo two-factor identity validation services, go to Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for remote workers.
