Security and Compliance for Telecommuters
At-home employees commonly use their own computers and often operate in an unsecured physical environment. This multiplies their vulnerability to malware threats and calls for careful deployment of firewalls, AV tools, MFA-based identity verification, remote monitoring, extensive user education, and the development of security policies built on leading practices. Progent's veteran team of data security solutions consultants can assist your business to design, implement and maintain an effective security solution that protects vital information resources in networks that incorporate remote workers.
Firewalls enable you to build a network that can be securely utilized by on-premises users as well as by telecommuters, mobile users, vendors, clients, and the public. Modern firewall devices allow you to assign and manage appropriate permissions to different classes of users and to scale your IT network and modify your security profile as your business evolves and as cyber threats grow increasingly complex. Progent works with both current and older firewall appliances from all leading manufacturers including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Juniper, SonicWall and Fortinet. For more information about Progent's firewall support services, refer to firewall configuration and support expertise.
Online Endpoint Security Monitoring makes it easy to track the various computers utilized by telecommuters and either block or spot and mitigate modern cyber attacks such as ransomware. With ProSight Active Security Monitoring (ASM) services, a lightweight agent is installed on every protected endpoint device, watching all activity and utilizing advanced machine learning from SentinelOne to identify new threats on arrival. When an attack is discovered, ProSight ASM instantly disconnects the infected endpoint from the network to contain the threat. Since the ProSight Active Security Monitoring software agent is autonomous, endpoint devices stay protected even when they are offline. Progent is a SentinelOne Partner, reseller, and integrator. For more information about ProSight ASM, go to remote endpoint monitoring for telecommuters.
Progent's Duo authentication Service Plans incorporate Cisco's Duo cloud technology to protect against password theft by using two-factor authentication. Duo enables one-tap identity verification on Apple iOS, Google Android, and other personal devices. Using 2FA, when you log into a secured online account and enter your password you are requested to verify who you are via a device that only you have and that is accessed using a different network channel. A wide range of out-of-band devices can be utilized for this second form of ID validation including an iPhone or Android or wearable, a hardware/software token, a landline phone, etc. You may register multiple verification devices.
