Security for At-Home Workers
At-home staff members commonly utilize their own computing devices and usually operate in an unsecured physical space. This situation multiplies their vulnerability to cyber attacks and calls for careful configuration of corporate firewalls, anti-malware tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote endpoint monitoring, intensive end-user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of cybersecurity support consultants can help your business to design, implement and maintain a compliant security solution that guards vital IT resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls enable companies to build a network that can be securely utilized by local users as well as by at-home workers, mobile users, suppliers, clients, and the public. Next-generation firewall devices permit you to configure and manage appropriate access rights to different classes of users and to expand your network and modify your security profile as your company evolves and as network attacks become more complex. Progent supports both new and legacy security appliances from all major manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, WatchGuard, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For details about Progent's firewall integration services, refer to firewall integration and support services.
Remote Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to watch over the disparate computers utilized by an at-home workforce and either reject or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks like ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring services, a lightweight software agent is put on every secured endpoint, watching all activity and utilizing advanced AI technology from SentinelOne to identify zero-day threats on arrival. When a cyberattack is spotted, ProSight Active Security Monitoring instantly isolates the targeted endpoint from the network to quarantine the threat. Because the ProSight ASM software agent is self-contained, endpoints remain secure even if they are disconnected from the Internet. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For details about ProSight ASM, see remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo MFA Services utilize Cisco's Duo technology to protect against compromised passwords through the use of two-factor authentication (2FA). Duo enables one-tap identity confirmation with iOS, Android, and other personal devices. Using Duo 2FA, whenever you log into a secured application and give your password you are asked to verify your identity via a unit that only you have and that uses a different ("out-of-band") network channel. A wide range of devices can be used as this added means of ID validation including a smartphone or watch, a hardware token, a landline telephone, etc. You can register multiple validation devices. To find out more about Duo two-factor identity authentication services, go to Cisco Duo MFA two-factor authentication (2FA) services for at-home workers.
